Honda’s first all-electric SUV, the Prologue, has quickly made an impact in the U.S. electric vehicle market, emerging as one of the top-selling EVs. According to Cox Automotive, the Prologue ranked fifth in EV sales during the third quarter, with demand pushing total sales over 12,600 units, a significant achievement for Honda’s initial year of EV sales in the country.
In October alone, Honda sold more than 4,100 Prologue SUVs, outperforming competitors like Ford’s Mustang Mach-E, which sold 3,313 units. Through the end of October, Honda had sold 18,309 units of the Prologue, highlighting a strong response from U.S. consumers since deliveries began in March.
The Honda Prologue is built on General Motors’ Ultium platform, which also underpins electric models from Chevy, Cadillac, and GMC. However, Honda has added several features to distinguish the Prologue, including a multi-link front and rear suspension designed to enhance its “sporty” performance. The Prologue also stands out with its in-car tech, offering built-in Google with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, in contrast to GM’s decision to exclude these features in its latest models.
The Prologue offers an estimated range of up to 296 miles on a full charge, providing competitive mileage among mid-range electric SUVs. Starting at $47,400 for the EX FWD trim, the Prologue may qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit, potentially lowering the price to below $40,000 before destination fees.
