Honda on Thursday announced pricing and an EPA-rated range estimate for its all-electric Prologue SUV, confirming a starting price of $48,795 (including $1,395 destination) and a maximum range of 476 miles.
The Prologue will be available in five trims, with single-motor front-wheel drive models and dual-motor all-wheel drive models available. If you want the most range for your money, you will have to opt for the EX or Touring models with front-wheel drive. Adding AWD to either trim will cost you an extra $3,000 and take away 15 miles of range, according to the EPA. The range-topping Prologue Elite starts at $59,295 and comes standard with all-wheel drive. According to the EPA, it has a range of 233 miles, the least of any trim. Presumably this is down to a specific wheel and tire package that undermines range. Honda declined to provide clarification when reached Engine1 via email.
It’s worth noting that the Prologue is priced well below its closest sibling, the $56,715 Chevrolet Blazer EV. That car uses the same battery pack, but comes with a single motor at the rear instead of the front. It also has a range of 324 miles, 30 miles more than the Honda.
Here’s a full breakdown of equipment and pricing for the Prologue:
| Trimming | Disk configuration | MSRP with destination | EPA rating at full charge | EPA MPGe Ratings City/Hwy/Combined |
| EX | Single engine (2WD) | $48,795 | 296 miles | 107/91/99 |
| EX | Dual motor (AWD) | $51,795 | 281 miles | 101/88/95 |
| Touring | Single engine (2WD) | $53,095 | 296 miles | 107/91/99 |
| Touring | Dual motor (AWD) | $56,095 | 281 miles | 101/88/95 |
| Elite | Dual motor (AWD) | $59,295 | 273 miles | 99/84/92 |
Prologues equipped with the single front-mounted electric motor have an output of 212 hp and 236 Nm of torque, while the AWD versions with two motors get 288 hp and 333 Nm of torque. Whichever version you choose, the engines are powered by an 85 kWh lithium-ion Ulitum battery pack from General Motors. There is also multi-link suspension on all four corners.
Honda is ensuring that no Prologue buyer is left wanting for charging options, offering them the choice of three different charging benefit packages upon delivery. All three options include varying amounts of credits for EVgo and Electrify America stations, with buyers having the choice of adding different types of charging kits or a credit for home charger installation if needed.
