The Honda Prologue was a notable automotive surprise last year. A result of Honda’s collaboration with GM to use the latter’s platform for EVs, the Prologue outsold every other GM electric car. For 2025, Honda is sweetening the deal, with a bump in power and range figures, without a corresponding price increase, bar a $55 increase in destination fee.
Here’s how the 2025 Prologue compares to its predecessor, with pricing for both.
| Trim | 2025 Output | 2024 Output | 2025 Range | 2024 Range | Price |
| EX Single Motor | 220 hp / 243 lb-ft | 212 hp / 236 lb-ft | 308 Miles | 296 Miles | $48,450 |
| EX Dual Motor | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft | 288 hp / 330 lb-ft | 294 Miles | 281 Miles | $51,850 |
| Touring Single Motor | 220 hp / 243 lb-ft | 212 hp / 236 lb-ft | 308 Miles | 296 Miles | $53,150 |
| Touring Dual Motor | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft | 288 hp / 330 lb-ft | 294 Miles | 281 Miles | $56,150 |
| Elite Dual Motor | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft | 288 hp / 330 lb-ft | 283 Miles | 273 Miles | $59,350 |
It’s not a huge difference, but it’s not nothing, either. Also worth noting that the Prologue qualifies for the $7,500 federal tax credit on EVs, though that could end soon as the Trump administration enacts its anti-EV agenda. Plus, the Prologue is built in GM’s Ramos Arzipe, Mexico plant, so it may soon be subject to a tariff.
Our colleagues over at InsideEVs reported that Honda had GM slow Prologue production earlier this month, and while Honda didn’t provide a specific reason, it might be because there is an oversupply of Prologues on dealer lots. Honda also may want to avoid being caught out by tariffs and the end of the federal incentives that likely helped it move Prologues in the first place.
Honda has offered aggressive lease deals on the Prologue and its Acura counterpart, the ZDX. There is no doubt the Prologue is a more compelling product for 2025, but even with these upgrades, it faces an uncertain future. Honda is also working hard to begin production of EVs on its in-house platform in Ohio, though the Prologue doesn’t have an immediate replacement.
If you want one, it might be good to move soon and hope that you don’t have too much trouble getting your tax credit.
