The 2025 Honda Prologue Arrives With Improvements But No Price Increase (UPDATED)
The GM-built Honda Prologue became one of the nation’s most popular EVs last year, thanks to aggressive incentives and lease deals. Honda recently announced the 2025 Prologue, giving it more power and range for the same price.
The 2025 Prologue will arrive with up to 308 miles of range, 12 miles more than the 2024 model. All-wheel drive models also received a power boost for the model year, delivering 300 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque. Range numbers for AWD models also increased, with the EX and Touring rated at 294 miles and the Elite offering 283 miles on a charge. Honda said that owners will have access to around 100,000 chargers by 2030, including Tesla Superchargers.
Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, two things the Prologue’s General Motors counterparts don’t have. Heated front seats, wireless phone charging, Google built-in, HondaSensing, and other features are also standard.
The idea of a Honda EV built by GM sounded odd at first, but the deals surrounding the SUV have driven a great deal of interest in the Prologue, making it the nest-selling non-Tesla EV in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of last year. While it shares most of its underlying engineering with the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Honda did enough with styling and tech to differentiate the Prologue, including offering smartphone mirroring after GM cut the services for EVs.
Update: An earlier version of this post failed to include the price -- it is $47,400, though all Prologues qualify for the federal EV tax credit, so that gives a starting price of $39,900, assuming the current administration does not change credit availability. The pricing does not include $1,450 for D&D fees. We regret the error. -- TH

Imagine that! Cheaper batteries mean more range for no more money.
As they say in the old country, "it's better to lose your eye than your good name", and this is a textbook example.
Sales of this unremarkable GM clone have been quite good already, becayse buyers value that it has the HONDA name slapped on its grille (or, more accurately, fake grille).
One is born every minute.
Since 12 additional miles isn't anything meaningful, I think it means more cash in the mfg's pocket.
