What's New for 2025?
Entering its second year of production, the Prologue looks and costs the same, but Honda has managed to squeeze a bit more range, horsepower and torque out of its electric powertrains. Specifically, the single-motor front-wheel-drive version gains up to 12 miles of range, now maxing out at 308 miles, while the dual-motor AWD Prologue gains 13 miles to max out at 294. Those are healthy numbers, but the AWD Prologue in particular still won't accelerate as briskly as many rivals despite adding 12 hp for an even 300 this year, along with 22 extra pound-feet of torque to hit 355 lb-ft overall. Expectations are lower for the front-drive version, which adds 8 hp for a competitive 220-hp total (and 7 lb-ft to reach 243 lb-ft overall).
FAST FACTS
"The Prologue is close to being a carbon copy of the Chevrolet Blazer EV, styling aside, although the Blazer EV's horsepower ceiling is much higher. We do like what Honda has done with the Prologue's exterior shape, and that's likely a big part of its sales success. But the related Chevrolet Equinox EV offers the exact same powertrains as the Prologue for a lot less coin, so unless you need Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, which both Chevys lack, you'd be well advised to visit your Chevy dealer. On the road, the Prologue feels wider than it is and provides merely adequate EV transportation. Even the dual-motor version doesn't accelerate with the verve that we've come to expect from all-wheel-drive EVs. The hard interior plastics likewise fail to impress, especially for a model that starts near $50k. Honda has moved a lot of Prologues with aggressive lease offers, but this GM collab isn’t the brand’s best foot forward."—Ranked #8 out of 12 Compact Electric SUVs

Looking at the stat sheet, it's obvious that the Prologue is fundamentally a Honda-styled Chevy Blazer EV, as the wheelbases are identical. The Blazer EV actually didn't offer the Prologue's single-motor, front-drive configuration for 2024 (only the cheaper Equinox EV did), but it does so for 2025, so the comparison is now fully apples-to-apples.
The Prologue AWD is essentially a Chevy Blazer EV AWD with a styling reskin from Honda. You can get the same dual-motor powertrain in the Equinox EV, however, so unless Honda's offering a killer lease deal on one of these, we'd take a hard look at the Equinox EV AWD. It gives you the same or better range and acceleration for a lot less coin in terms of MSRP.
