Honda’s First All-Electric Vehicle (News21USA): Honda has released more details about its upcoming all-electric Prologue SUV, which is set to hit the market in early 2024. The vehicle is expected to offer a range of 300 miles, and Honda anticipates the starting price to be in the «upper $40,000s» before incentives and tax credits.

The Prologue’s pricing places it slightly above competitors like the Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, and Mustang Mach-E, all of which start at around $40,000. However, its range falls short of the Ioniq 6’s 361 miles and is also slightly less than the Hummer EV’s 314 miles.

This electric SUV is built on the GM Ultium EV architecture, the same platform used for GM’s electric vehicles such as the Chevy Blazer EV. It features an 85-kWh battery pack that is common to both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models. It’s worth noting that the 300-mile estimated range applies to the 2WD variant, and the range of the AWD version has not been disclosed yet. The AWD version is expected to produce around 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque, as per Honda’s performance figures.

In terms of dimensions, the Honda Prologue boasts a 121.8-inch wheelbase, which is five inches longer than the larger Honda Pilot. The SUV offers seating for five passengers and a roomy interior with 136.9 cubic feet of space. It comes equipped with standard features like wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, as well as an 11-inch instrument display paired with an 11.3-inch HD infotainment screen.

Honda is also offering various charging packages for buyers. These options include an 11.5kW home charging station with a $100 charging credit and a $500 installation credit, a 7.6kW portable charging kit with a $300 public charging credit and a $250 installation credit, or $750 in public charging credits.
