It’s not uncommon for rival automakers to team up to share engineering, technology, or manufacturing capacity. Such is the case with the Honda Prologue and Chevrolet Blazer EV, two electric SUVs jointly developed by Honda and General Motors. Riding on the same architecture and built in the same factory, these SUVs are alike in many ways but more different than you might expect for being so similar under the skin.
Now that we know the significant similarities, let’s zoom in on the differences between the Honda Prologue and Chevy Blazer EV to figure out the right one for you.
2025 Honda Prologue
The Honda Prologue is Honda’s first all-electric SUV. After a couple of half-hearted attempts at marketing EVs in North America, like the all-electric versions of the Clarity and the Fit, the Prologue is Honda’s attempt at making electric vehicles a little more mainstream.
Honda Prologue Highlights
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay: Although many drivers consider these smartphone connectivity features essential, they are unavailable in the Blazer EV. However, their compatibility comes standard in the Honda Prologue, making it easy to mirror your smartphone’s maps, music, and more to the car’s screen.
Subtle interior: While the Blazer EV’s interior design is a bit more adventurous, the Honda Prologue’s interior has a subtlety that we appreciate. It’s a nice place to be, with a clean design, comfortable seats, and ergonomically friendly controls.
Elite trim: In Honda parlance, Elite denotes, well, the most elite version of any given model to wear the name. In the case of the Prologue, the Elite trim brings features like a standard dual-motor powertrain, 21-inch wheels, leather seats (heated and ventilated in front), a head-up display, Bose audio, and more.
Front-wheel drive: The single-motor version of the Honda Prologue is front-wheel drive (FWD), while the single-motor 2025 Blazer EV is offered in either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional for both models.

2025 Chevrolet Blazer EV
Let’s squash any confusion immediately; despite the similar name, the Chevrolet Blazer EV has no mechanical relation to the gas-powered Chevrolet Blazer. It’s an entirely different, all-electric model with versatility and style worthy of the “Blazer” badging but with the technology, performance, and (lack of) emissions of a modern EV.
Chevrolet Blazer EV Highlights
Stunning SS model: The Chevy Blazer EV SS joins the lineup for 2025, and it’s the most powerful and quickest-accelerating SS model Chevy has ever produced. It has 615 horsepower, a 3.4-second zero-to-60 mph time, and no high-performance counterpart in the Honda Prologue lineup.
Up to 334 miles of range: The Chevy Blazer EV has a longer maximum range than the Honda Prologue. The single-motor rear-drive variant of the Blazer EV achieves an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 334 miles on a full charge. The dual-motor model has a 283-mile range, which is same as or just under the dual-motor Prologue, depending on trim.
Available Super Cruise: This is our favorite feature that’s optional on the Blazer EV, but unavailable on the Prologue. Super Cruise allows for hands-off-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road driving on over 400,000 miles of North American highways. It’s one of the best systems of its kind that we’ve tested.

Conclusion
The Honda Prologue is the one to get if Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is an absolute must-have feature or if you just prefer a more conservative design. The Blazer EV is the right choice if you want the best possible range, SS performance, or hands-free driving with Super Cruise. Whichever speaks to you more, we’d happily recommend either.
