Honda Prologue first drive: a pretty good start


The Honda Prologue has Chevy Blazer DNA, but not in a bad way.

By joining forces with the American automaker and agreeing to use its Ultium platform for a pair of EVs, one from Honda and the other from Acura, the Japanese company was able to get an electric vehicle with nearly 300 miles of range to market much quicker. And when it arrives, the midsized SUV (roughly the same size as the Honda Passport) will compete with the Tesla Model Y, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and yes, even the Chevy Blazer EV — with which the Prologue shares a powertrain. The new badging is pretty cool, with the brand name spelled out across the rear hatch in a futuristic font in lieu of the standard Honda “H.” There are also some excellent colors on offer, including “north shore pearl,” inspired by the waters of Lake Tahoe, California.
