Many automakers quickly shuffled their lineups to be among the first to market with electric vehicles. Not Honda. The automaker, which enjoys a strong legacy of hybrid vehicles, moved carefully and deliberately before bringing its first electric vehicle (EV) to the U.S. market: the 2024 Honda Prologue.
The Prologue is a midsize SUV. With plenty of interior space for people and things and attractive exterior styling, it looks like it’s pulled straight from the company’s vehicle development playbook. Actually, the new EV is born out of a collaboration with General Motors. However, it will be the only pairing coming from the linkup as GM decided to go its own way.
Like most EVs right now, the investment isn’t cheap. However, compared to a good number of electric vehicles, the Prologue is pretty reasonable, with pricing starting at $48,795 for the entry-level EX model. That number rises to $59,295 for the top-end Elite edition.
As is the case with so many EVs, Prologue drivers enjoy an instantaneous jolt of power, but where the SUV really shines is inside the spacious and airy cabin. Let’s check out the interior of the new Honda Prologue.
Passenger Room and Comfort
The Prologue is a 2-row SUV with room for five passengers. In some cases, that means there’s a little bit of room; however, the rear passengers can recline in the new Honda so it appears that making people comfortable is at the top of the design list for the SUV.
The interior is simple and uncluttered. With no transmission tunnel running down the middle of the cabin, you get a lot of options for storage or people space. By placing the gear shifter on the steering column, there’s plenty of storage space in the center console, including two beverage holders that can each hold a 32-ounce bottle.
Those reclining rear seats also fold down, providing drivers with 57.7 cubic feet of cargo space, putting it on par with the Ford Mustang Mach-E interior.
Features and Tech
Some EVs are tech-heavy, offering only haptic response touchscreens to handle a variety of functions. Fortunately, Honda designed the Prologue with families in mind. Thus, the electronics feature buttons and switches.
The Prologue comes with a Google-based infotainment system that offers access to apps like Google Maps, a voice-activated Google Assistant, and over-the-air updates. Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto phone integration is also standard.
Every new Prologue electric SUV has an 11-inch digital driver information display and an 11.3-inch infotainment touchscreen. The top Elite trim also has a head-up display.
Materials and Design
Like much of the Hyundai lineup, the Tucson’s interior aesthetic leans toward modern functionality. The 10.25-inch touchscreen and climate controls below it skew toward the driver. The dashboard, center console, and door panels all feature soft-touch plastics and chrome-like trim pieces to give the SUV a clean, upscale look.
The Prologue has available leather-trimmed seats, including heated and ventilated front seats. While rear-seat passengers won’t enjoy having their backsides heated or cooled depending on the weather, they can be assured that they’ll be able to quickly and easily charge their smartphones or other devices courtesy of two USB-C charging ports as well as a 110-volt power outlet.
Not only do they have plenty of space, but a panoramic moonroof is available on the Touring and Elite models to ensure the cabin remains light and open. The end result is a premium, upscale feel without the big-money price tag.
