Check Out the 2024 Honda Prologue EV at Brilliance Honda

The Honda brand has been quite reluctant to build a fully electric car, which is surprising considering its history of producing hybrid cars since the late 1990s. However, with the increasing demand for electric vehicles and stricter emissions regulations, Honda has finally decided to join the EV market. The upcoming Prologue EV SUV, slated for delivery in early 2024, is a compelling testament to their diligent efforts over the past few years.

Electric Powertrain

The Prologue is available as a single-motor front-wheel drive, but a two-motor all-wheel-drive configuration is more powerful and has much better handling. Honda says the all-wheel drive will come with 288 horsepower, sufficient for driving on Schaumburg's roads.

All prologue models have an 85.0-kWh battery designed to support DC fast charging and Level 2 AC. The battery is estimated to provide a range of about 300 miles around Elgin on a single charge, which aligns the Prologue with other EV competitors like the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. However, the all-wheel drive versions sacrifice some of that range for quicker and more responsive acceleration.

Honda will also sell a home charging kit that you can plug into a standard wall outlet, but it'll take longer to charge compared to DC fast charging. The Prologue also comes with regenerative braking, which helps the battery recharge while on the move and improves overall efficiency while driving around Libertyville, IL.

Interior Design

The Honda Prologue lineup comes with a floating center console with an 11.3-inch touchscreen display, with Google built-in, that controls most of the car's functions. The 11.0-inch digital gauge cluster displays all the necessary information when driving around Barrington. The head-up display is only available for those who select the top-of-the-line Elite trim.

The Prologue has an available 12-speaker Bose sound system (standard on Touring and Elite models), but you can also opt for the standard eight-speaker setup. It also offers Crystal Lake drivers 3.0A USB-C 45W charging ports, standard at the back but available for front occupants with higher trims, and a wireless charging pad.

Regarding seating, five people in St Charles, IL will comfortably fit inside the Prologue. There's plenty of legroom in the back, but the sloping roofline may limit headroom if you are too tall, over six-foot-three inches. The rear seats also have a 60/40 split folding function to expand cargo space. Honda says you can fit three full-size gold bags in the trunk, which is impressive for a compact SUV.

The car offers ambient lighting, heated and ventilated front seats, a two-tone interior, and a panoramic sunroof. The Elite trim includes leather upholstery and a power-adjustable driver's seat with lumbar support and memory function.
