The 2025 Honda Prologue electric SUV receives range and power boosts for its second model year, but remains priced just under $50,000.
All versions still have an 85-kwh battery pack, but Honda claims a 12-mile increase for the longest-range single-motor front-wheel-drive models, to 308 miles on the EPA cycle. Honda also expects EPA ratings for dual-motor all-wheel-drive models to increase by 13 miles, to 294 miles, for EX and Touring grades. The dual-motor Elite grade, with its 21-inch wheels and higher equipment level, is now estimated at 283 miles—10 more than previously.
A new front drive unit increases the output of single-motor models by 8 hp and 7 lb-ft of torque, to 220 hp and 243 lb-ft. All-wheel-drive models see increases of 12 hp and 25 lb-ft, to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque.
2025 Honda Prologue
The Prologue’s peak DC fast-charging rate of 150 kw is unchanged, allowing to gain 65 miles in 10 minutes of charging or get from 20-80% in 35 minutes. An 11.5-kw onboard charger allows for an eight-hour full charge for at least some of the lineup, given a 48-amp wallbox on a 60-amp circuit.
Honda expects all 2025 Prologue models to remain eligible for the full $7,500 federal EV tax credit—assuming it doesn’t go away. Even without the tax credit, the base single-motor Prologue EX’s starting price of $48,850 (including a $1,450 destination charge) is just $55 higher than the 2024 model year when it was new. Touring and Elite grades start at $53,150 and $59,350, respectively. All-wheel drive is a $3,000 option on the EX and Touring, but standard on the Elite.
The Prologue is based on a General Motors platform, but in a first drive of the 2024 model we found it to be a good on-ramp for current Honda owners looking to embrace EVs. That should make it a good warm-up for Honda’s in-house 0 Series EVs, the first of which are due to arrive in 2026.
