We checked out not one, but two identical 2025 Honda Prologue EVs at the same time. We did a review in Colorado, and a drive in California. Here’s our experience!
While the 2025 Honda Prologue shares many components with many other vehicles, like the Blazer EV and Acura ZDX, it has its own personality. Equipped with a standard 85 kWh battery (based on the Ultium platform from GM) our twin-motor models made 288 horsepower. The EPA rates it at 273 miles; however, that number grows to 296 miles with the front-wheel drive EX (FWD), with 212 hp.
Starting at $48,795, including Honda’s $1,395 destination charge, you get a FWD Honda Passport-sized EV for just under $50K. There are three trims, including the EX, Touring and Elite. Our Elite models came in just shy of $60,000. Considering the competition from many vehicles in this class, the pricing may be a bit too steep.
While we’ve driven the Prologue in the past, this was a good opportunity to look at it through different perspectives. Kase and Tommy reviewed the functions and driving, while I tested it in an urban environment. We all agreed that the packaging and driving experience is quite good, if not sporty. In no way did the Prologue feel cheap, or tossed together in an attempt at discounted badge sharing.
To me: the 2025 Honda Prologue felt like an easy car to live with and drive daily. Perhaps it’s a combination of the mello suspension tuning, mixed in with an easy-to-modulate powertrain. It actually feels unique to its brethren, despite all of the shared components. In addition, and I know it’s subjective, but we all loved the way it looks.
Through no fault on Honda’s, there was a serious issue driving the Prologue…and that had to do with the dreadful charging infrastructure encountered on a road trip to a popular Southern California theme park (you know the one). Yes, we all know that you can simply use your home as a power station, but that’s not the answer for many who drive.
