If there’s a perfect example of how never to judge something after a brief encounter, the Honda Prologue EV is proof of that. Earlier this year, I had a chance to preview the EV at the 2024 New York Auto Show, but I didn’t think it was a standout among the other models I saw there, such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N and Kia EV9. I was dead wrong.
Several months after that first encounter, I finally test drove the 2024 Honda Prologue AWD Elite for a week — and it surprised me in more ways than one. Initially, I thought the Prologue was a lazy attempt for the longtime Japanese car maker to get its foot into the recent EV revolution. But after sitting inside of the driver’s seat for the first time, I was instantly reminded of past EVs I’ve driven — including the 2024 Cadillac Lyriq and 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV — because of its familiar interior space.
