The 2024 [Honda]() Prologue is one step closer to production, and although we don't have an exact release date, the manufacturer claims that deliveries will start early next year. With its GM Ultium-based battery and powertrain tech, Honda announced Thursday that it's expecting an EPA-estimated range of 300 miles. While the Prologue has its own funky styling courtesy of Honda's Design Studio in Los Angeles, it certainly has a connection with the brand's current design language. It has simple body lines, short overhangs, a low roofline, and a minimal front grille, though you can tell it's related to the CRV and Civic. That's not a bad thing, though, as it's a handsome little crossover with a simple but sporty interior and a large new infotainment screen. ![]() **Honda** ![]() **Honda** ![]() **Honda** However, while it might look all Honda on the outside, it's mostly American under its skin. Underpinning the new Honda Prologue is GM's Ultium electric platform, which gives it an 85 kWh battery pack that Honda says will be enough for a maximum of 300 miles of range and 155 kW charging speed. At that speed, Honda claims the Prologue can gain 65 miles of range in 10 minutes. Two powertrains will be offered: single-motor, front-wheel-drive, or dual-motor, all-wheel-drive. The latter of which will make 288 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque. Those specs nearly match the all-wheel-drive Chevy Equinox EV, which isn't surprising given they use essentially the same platform. Honda didn't provide power figures for the front-wheel-drive Prologue but it should match the front-drive Equinox EV's 210 horsepower and 280 miles of range. Both models come with the same battery pack, so it will be interesting to see if Honda's projected range is for the dual-motor or single-motor car. ![]() **Honda** ![]() **Honda** ![]() **Honda** Interestingly, Honda is offering a trio of different charging packages. The first is an 11.5-kW home charging station, a $100 public charging credit, and a $500 installation incentive. The second is a 7.6-kW portable charging kit, a $300 public charging kit, and a $250 installation incentive. Or, you can just get a $750 public charging credit. Honda says the Prologue will start in the upper $ 40,000 range before any government tax incentives. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
