The all-new, fully-electric Honda Prologue is here! Honda made sure the release of its first fully-electric SUV offering was a breakthrough, and the Prologue hit it out of the park. From its stylish exterior design to its thrilling tech-savvy connectivity and advanced safety, if you are shopping for Honda EVs for sale, then you need to take a look at this hot new midsize model. Here are the ten reasons we think the Prologue is this year's must-have all-electric SUV.
#1 - Adventure Ready and Family Friendly
The Prologue is the perfect midsize SUV for the busy modern family or the gear-heavy outdoor enthusiast who is ready for a long weekend of mountain biking and camping under the stars. With ample cargo space and an easy-to-fold 60/40 split rear seat, you won't have to compromise on what gets left behind when you can bring it all. Seating five adults with room for the family dog, the Prologue is the best choice for an active family on the go. The spacious interior doesn't mean this midsize SUV will be cumbersome in tight city streets and parking lots; Honda knows efficient design and maxed out the passenger cabin and cargo space without making the exterior dimensions bulky or unwieldy.
#2 - Versatility On-The-Go
Because this midsize SUV is an adventurer's perfect blend of versatility and efficiency, Honda offers plenty of accessory options so the Prologue can haul it all. Crossbars and roof rails will give you rooftop carrying capacity, whether you prefer bike and ski racks, an enclosed roof box, or a general-purpose cargo basket. As if that wasn't awesome enough, the Prologue is built with a towing capacity of 1,500 lbs, with towing accessories available as a package through Honda. Towing a teardrop camper, fishing boat, or hitch-compatible bike rack adds great versatility.
#3 - Emission-Free Efficiency
Did we mention the Honda Prologue is all-new and fully electric? Honda is no stranger to electric performance, having dedicated decades to developing an advanced EV system that will take you where you want to go. The Prologue delivers an EPA-estimated range of 296 miles on a full battery charge, and with fast-charging capabilities, a short ten-minute break at a public fast charging station can provide 65 miles of extra range.[a][b] You'll enjoy efficient, emission-free driving that is eco-friendly and saves you from spending time and money at the gas pump.
#4 - Electrifying Performance
Although it comes standard with front-wheel drive, we highly recommend choosing the Prologue's all-wheel drive option for superior driving performance and enhanced traction in harsher weather. You'll enjoy regenerative braking on demand with a paddle shifter at your fingertips to help get a bit more range out of your battery. For those driving moments when you want to feel the power of your Prologue, selecting Sport mode delivers an exciting throttle response as well as full braking power. The all-wheel drive model yields 333 lb-ft of torque and 288 hp, an impressive performance!
#5 - Tech-Savvy Connectivity
Not only does the Prologue offer a futuristic, all-electric driving experience, but the integrated technology within your reach will surely impress. A beautiful digital driver information display behind the steering wheel and an infotainment touchscreen adorn the sleek dash, offering seamless connectivity to your smartphone. Google built-in allows for fewer driving distractions with voice-command capabilities. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto give you access to your favorite navigation and music apps and streamline sending and receiving calls and messages. A Wi-Fi hotspot will connect your passenger's devices for endless entertainment on longer road trips.
The HondaLink app offers a remote connection to your Prologue for locking and unlocking the doors, finding its location, and adjusting the climate control. HondaLink also works seamlessly with your infotainment center, so asking, “Where is the nearest charging station located?” on your next road trip will display navigation and provide audio directions without having to look away from the road ahead. Utilizing the available head-up display will project the directions as well as other driving information onto the lower portion of the driver's windshield for extra user-friendliness and distraction-free driving. Emergency services assistance from OnStar is also offered through the HondaLink app.
#6 - Safety in Focus
Safety is a big reason we believe the Prologue is an excellent choice for tech-savvy and eco-conscious families. The Honda Sensing safety suite and driver assistance features offer new ways to keep you and your family safer on busy roadways and congested parking lots. Included in the Honda Sensing suite is Automatic Emergency Braking to prevent potential forward collisions and Rear Cross Traffic Alert to prevent accidents in reverse. Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Park Assist, and Lane Keep Assist employ alerts and automatic steering to assist your driving. The Surround Vision System will display a bird's eye view on the large infotainment screen to show nearby obstacles, and every driver loves the Adaptive Cruise Control feature to enjoy a more relaxing experience in heavy traffic.
#7 - Intriguing Design
The style and design of the Prologue have taken aerodynamic engineering into consideration, as less drag on the vehicle means more range and fewer stops to recharge. From the commanding yet sleek front fascia to the lower height and wider stance, the Prologue is able to use less energy to slice through the air, which also leads to a quieter ride in the cabin. Balanced on available 21-inch machined aluminum wheels, the Prologue exudes style, confidence, and performance. The throwback rear badging replaces the iconic “H” emblem with "Honda" fully spelled out. Available in classic yet exciting exterior colorways, the Prologue is a gem.
#8 - Stylish Comfort
Comfort reigns in this roomy cabin that seats five. Everything is within easy reach on the intuitively designed dash. Adjustable front seats with available heated and ventilated options and dual-zone climate control keep everyone comfortable on a longer commute. Thoughtful storage has been expanded with a floating center console that allows for an underneath shelf. Also included is a wireless charger pocket for your smartphone to keep your cabin wire and clutter-free. Rear-seat passengers will enjoy charging ports for their devices in the back of the center console. All-weather floor mats will protect the interior from mud, salt, and sand, including the rear cargo space. A quiet cabin can easily become a booming club when opting for the 12-speaker Bose audio system.
