The upcoming 2024 Honda Prologue is Honda’s first fully electric SUV that will be unveiled sometime next year. Interestingly, the Honda-GM alliance, also called “GondaM,” is a Japanese strategy to crowd the U.S. market with electric vehicles by 2035.
According to the latest statement, both manufacturers plan to achieve the ultimate goal of 100 percent electrification by 2040. The Prologue is expected to arrive in late 2023, as a 2024 model year. We have some exciting news about the upcoming model, and we think that you will like it.
2024 Honda Prologue Platform, Design
Thanks to a partnership with General Motors, Honda teased that they are working on the new electric vehicle called Prologue for the 2024 model year. From the information that we got, the new model will basically share plenty of cues with the Cadillac Lyriq. However, Honda hasn’t released much info on the upcoming vehicle yet, but many suggest we should expect the Prologue to come in the form of a compact or mid-size SUV.
However, GM will engineer the platform and powertrains, while Honda will be responsible for the Prologue’s bodywork and interior. Interestingly, the Acura luxury brand would also introduce a Prologue version from some rumors, but we haven’t heard its specifics yet.
Interior Rumors
Reportedly, the new 2023 Honda Prologue could come in the form of a mid-size SUV. If that happens, we can expect a very roomy interior that can accommodate two or three rows of seats. Most than likely, the Prologue will be offered as a two-row seater as standard, with a possibility to upgrade to three rows.
Also, many gossips indicate that we can expect at least a similar cabin as we saw on the Cadillac Lyriq. This model is one of the most equipped in the segment. Its interior features a giant, 33.0-inch curved advanced LED display that serves as both infotainment system and the driver’s gauge display. Besides, it also comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a Wi-Fi hotspot as standard.
2024 Honda Prologue Engine Specs
There are no exact specs of the 2024 Honda Prologue. However, many believe that it will use the same Ultium battery packs as future GM EVs. In that group are the models Cadillac Lyriq and GMC Hummer EV.
Long story short, if that happens, the Prologue will probably incorporate the same 100-kWh battery as the Lyriq. So, expect a driving range of around 300 miles per single charge. As we mentioned, the platform and powertrains will be engineered by GM.
Release Date and Price
According to the latest news, the Prologue will happen in late 2023 as the 2024 year model. This model will be all-electric, and it could use the same system as the Cadillac Lyriq.
Honda has sign partnership papers with GM company, and we can expect a great product, considering how popular these companies are. Overall, as we said, the platform of the upcoming model, as well as the powertrains, will be engineered by GM, while Honda will be in charge of the Prologue’s body and interior. Pricing is still early to determined, but we should expect to cost no less than the $60k.
