58🔷 Premium
Redline Reviews gives the 2024 Honda Prologue Elite a mixed review (58/100), praising its exceptional value with lease deals starting at $229/month and strong cabin technology featuring twin 11-inch displays with Google integration, alongside decent performance with 288 horsepower and nearly 300 miles of electric range. However, the review highlights significant drawbacks including mediocre livability with cargo space that doesn't match its size, cost-cutting interior materials with scratchy hard plastics, and a frustration that the Prologue is essentially a rebadged Chevrolet Blazer EV rather than a true Honda. The vehicle works best for budget-conscious lease shoppers who prioritize tech and value over interior quality and want a capable electric SUV without the full Honda experience.

SavageGeese gave the 2024 Honda Prologue a moderately positive 69/100 score, praising it as a distinctly Honda product rather than a rebadged GM vehicle. The Prologue excels in cabin technology and reliability, featuring dual independent screens with individual climate control and a design that prioritizes familiarity for hybrid owners, plus the ability to service its battery at any Honda dealer. However, the vehicle suffers from a poor value proposition at $48,000-$60,000, limited range for AWD models (under 300 miles), and SavageGeese notes that most people would simply be better served buying a less expensive Honda Pilot instead. The Prologue is best suited for Honda loyalists who specifically want an EV and prioritize interior usability over performance or price competitiveness.

63🔷 Premium
Auto Buyers Guide rates the 2024 Honda Prologue favorably at 63/100, praising it as one of the best EV values available with 296 miles of range at $47,476 and full eligibility for the $7,500 tax credit, while also highlighting strong cabin technology including heated/ventilated front seats and a practical greenhouse design that accommodates taller passengers well. The design earns particular recognition for its clean, timeless aesthetics and Honda-characteristic boxy proportions that distinguish it from competitors like the Blazer EV. However, reliability concerns emerge around durability of plastic trim elements like child latch covers and dashboard plastic that scratches easily, while performance proves middling with the dual-motor Elite achieving a 6.7-second 0-60 time. The Prologue suits budget-conscious EV shoppers prioritizing range and value over performance or cutting-edge reliability credentials.

TheStraightPipes gives the 2024 Honda Prologue a positive 69/100 rating, praising it as "really really nice" overall. The vehicle excels in design and performance, with reviewers calling it one of Honda's best-looking vehicles featuring excellent 21-inch wheels, plus perfectly-balanced acceleration of 288 hp and 333 lb-ft that avoids being obnoxiously fast like some EV competitors. Comfort and livability are also strong with very comfortable front and back seats, though the suspension becomes bouncy and heavy on imperfect roads due to battery weight, and the vehicle lacks competitive features like lane centering and adaptive cruise control found in rivals. The Prologue suits buyers prioritizing stylish EV design and responsive performance over cutting-edge autonomous driving tech and charging speeds.

81⭐ Super
Redline Reviews gives the 2024 Honda Prologue Elite a strong 81/100 score, praising Honda's entry into the electric SUV market as refined and premium. The standout strengths are its striking design—reviewers call the styling "fantastic" and highlight the beautiful North Shore Blue Pearl color—and advanced cabin tech featuring an 11.3-inch Google-integrated touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a first for Honda SUVs. The main drawbacks are modest efficiency for its weight (5,400 pounds limits the dual-motor version to 271 miles of range) and a disappointing lack of frunk storage despite available space, though the $47,000 starting price undercuts platform-mate competitors like the Chevrolet Blazer EV. The Prologue is best suited for buyers seeking an attractive, tech-forward electric SUV who prioritize design and cabin experience over raw performance or maximum range.

66🔷 Premium
Auto Buyers Guide's review of the 2024 Honda Prologue scores a solid 66/100, praising it as a faithful merging of Honda and GM that delivers strong value and technology. The standout strengths are its cabin tech (89/100) with Google infotainment and rear 120-volt outlets, compelling pricing under $50,000 with full $7,500 tax credit eligibility, and sharp design featuring integrated LED headlights and practical roof rails. However, the economy score of just 25/100 is a significant weakness—DC fast charging maxes out at 150-155 kilowatts, trailing Korean EV competitors—and durability concerns linger with piano black plastics that scratch easily. The Prologue suits practical buyers prioritizing affordable EV technology and cabin comfort over charging speed and long-term interior durability.

43⚪ Regular
Edmunds' review of the 2024 Honda Prologue lands in mixed territory with a 43/100 OctaneScore, praising the vehicle's practical livability and thoughtful design while expressing reservations about value and performance. The standout strengths are the spacious interior storage—including a vertical phone charging pad, oversized cup holders that fit 32-ounce bottles, and open storage below—plus the attractive 21-inch wheels and Google built-in infotainment with integrated Google Maps and charging station ETAs. However, significant concerns emerge around the high $40,000+ starting price for the segment, modest dual-motor output of 288 horsepower, and the unproven reliability of GM's Ultium platform that has already delayed other vehicles. The Prologue is best suited for Honda loyalists who prioritize everyday functionality and cutting-edge software over performance and competitive pricing.

97⭐ Super
Redline Reviews gave the 2024 Honda Prologue Elite an exceptionally positive assessment, scoring it 97/100, with particular praise for its performance and efficiency—the dual-motor AWD setup delivers 288 hp and 313 lb-ft of torque with a sub-6-second 0-60 time, while the 85 kWh battery achieves a competitive 300-mile range and supports 155 kW DC fast charging. The cabin tech and design also impressed, featuring an 11-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and handsome styling that earned a 94/100 design score. The main caveat is that cargo space falls short for the vehicle's size at just over 25 cubic feet compared to competitors like the Passport, and livability scored 87/100 despite the roomy 121.8-inch wheelbase. The $40,000+ pricing and $7,500 federal tax credit eligibility make this an attractive option for buyers seeking a well-rounded electric SUV with strong performance and technology features.

TheStraightPipes gave the 2024 Honda Prologue a solidly positive 72/100 OctaneScore, praising its design execution—including wind-tested wheels and Honda's successful differentiation from its Chevy Blazer EV platform—and strong performance from its dual electric motors producing 288 horsepower and 333 pound-feet of torque. The cabin tech scores well with Google infotainment and convenient charge port placement, though some controls like headlights are buried in menus, and the practical livability impresses with golf bag capacity and folded-seat cargo space despite rear doors that don't open fully for child seats. Early production concerns around material fit and finish temper enthusiasm, and charging speed at 155 kilowatts sits in the middle of the EV pack. The Prologue is ideal for buyers seeking a traditionally designed, reasonably priced electric SUV that avoids the futuristic styling of competitors.
