The All-New 2024 Honda Prologue: Everything We Know About the Full Electric SUV

As we move towards an electrified future, Honda has offered a first look at the highly anticipated 2024 Honda Prologue! The first, full-electric SUV for Honda was designed at the Honda Design Studio and will make it’s way to Bianchi Honda in Erie, PA, in the upcoming year. The battery electric vehicle (or BEV, for short) Prologue will compliment Honda’s light truck lineup, positioning itself above the CR-V and alongside the Passport. With so many questions surrounding the new model, here is what we know so far:

Electrifying the Future

Honda has been working towards an electric future, currently offering the CR-V and Accord in hybrid trim levels in order to make an easy transition to fully electric vehicles. In the ‘Year of the SUV’ Honda has put out a redesigned HR-V, CR-V, and Honda Pilot, for the AWD lineup so in following suit, Honda has been hard at work to develop the Prologue. The 2024 Honda Prologue is being designed specifically for customers who want the versatility of an SUV with the zero emissions benefit of a BEV.

Toward its global goal to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050, Honda will introduce 30 new EVs globally by 2030. In North America, Honda has laid out an aggressive timeline of EV introductions based on three initial phases leading to 2030 and ultimately to 100% zero-emission automobile sales by 2040:

2024: Begin sales of the Honda Prologue, co-developed with GM.

2026: Begin sales of Honda models based on Honda e:Architecture to be produced by Honda in North America.

2027: Begin sales of a new series of affordable EVs co-developed with GM, also produced by Honda in North America.

Styling: Modern Design with Ne0-Rugged Aesthetics

The Honda Design Team based in Los Angeles is responsible for leading the exterior and interior styling of the all-new Prologue. On the outside, the team has aimed for a clean aesthetic with simple surfacing. A capable and planted exterior gives the Prologue a nice stance in the Honda lineup, standing on large 21-inch wheels. Prologue will have a wheelbase of 121.8-inches, and is about 8-inches longer and 5-inches wider than the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V.The front fascia is influenced by the distinctive exterior of the ground-breaking Honda e EV model. ‘Neo-rugged’ is the term coined to describe the design direction, bringing the harmony of nature’s elements to the exterior and interior of Prologue.

On the inside, the Prologue will offer plenty of cargo and passenger room for every adventure ahead. The Prologue will have a generous interior, which will provide ample space for passengers and cargo. Showcasing a tech-rich cabin, the Prologue will have a standard fully digital 11-inch driver display panel and an 11.3-inch audio/connectivity display. “Our goal was to create a clean harmony based on a rugged SUV image by coordinating the colors and materials to express neo-rugged design styling that’s familiar to our customers and uniquely Honda,” said Masaki Sumimoto, design lead for the Color, Materials and Finish.

North Shore Pearl: A New Color to the Honda Lineup

The Prologue will be available in an exclusive North Shore Pearl exterior color which was inspired from the natural beauty and colors near Lake Tahoe in California. Moreover, the visual of fresh fallen snow on the mountains was used to inspire the exclusive charcoal and light gray interior color.

To further build the Honda EV brand identity, the “H-mark” badge on the rear of the vehicle is replaced with the full Honda brand name in a stylized typeface that captures the modern and clean design of the Prologue. In addition, to align with Honda’s global EV models, Prologue will adopt the brand’s e: series name badging.
