For a company that’s been building hybrid cars since the late 1990s, Honda has been a bit slow to adopt full electrification in its march toward environmentally conscious automobiles. But the automaker’s first serious effort at an EV will arrive next year in the form of the 2024 Honda Prologue, a Passport-sized crossover with a targeted range of 300 miles.
As has been reported before, the Honda shares an Ultium platform and battery with electric GMs like the Chevrolet Blazer EV, but the automaker is confident that its unique suspension tuning, styling, and cabin will be enough to ensure repeat customers will be comfortable. That battery, by the way, will measure 85.0 kilowatt-hours, giving the most efficient versions of the Prologue a manufacturer-estimated range of 300 miles. The crossover EV will be available in single- and dual-motor variants, and although complete powertrain specifics haven’t been released, the all-wheel-drive version will boast 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque.
