Honda Prologue Touring AWD — US review

Honda Prologue Touring AWD Review (2025–)

Honda's First Mainstream EV

Honda US review Since 2025 Edited by

The 2025 Honda Prologue Touring AWD is the first mainstream Honda EV — built on GM's Ultium platform with 273 miles of range, comfortable cabin and Honda warranty.

Is the Honda Prologue being discontinued? 2026 prices and final model year

The review body below describes the 2025 Touring all-wheel drive, while these figures are for the 2026 model year. Kelley Blue Book reported Honda's statement that Prologue production will end at the completion of the 2026 model year, with sales continuing through early 2027 based on expected inventory. Kelley Blue Book also reported that the Prologue sold nearly 40,000 units in the United States in 2025. That wider pivot is covered in why hybrids are outselling EVs. So the Prologue is being discontinued at the end of the 2026 production run, although new inventory is expected to remain on sale afterward.

Carscoops reported that new 2026 pricing took effect on April 1, 2026, and that Honda applied the reductions to 2026 Prologues already sitting at dealers, not just vehicles built after that date. Every price reported by Carscoops includes the 1,495 dollar destination charge. The single-motor EX is 41,395 dollars, the dual-motor EX is 43,495 dollars, the single-motor Touring is 46,695 dollars, the dual-motor Touring is 48,495 dollars, and the dual-motor Elite is 51,895 dollars. That is the current price ladder across drivetrain and trim choices.

Driving Performance & Handling

Dual motors producing 288 hp and 451 Nm move the 5,247 lb Prologue to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, and the setup brief is comfort throughout — this is a relaxed cruiser, not a sport EV, and it makes no apology for that.

Honda Prologue range, charging time and estimated running cost

Kelley Blue Book lists 2026 Prologue range at 283 to 308 miles depending on drivetrain, with the front-wheel-drive version achieving the higher figure. It also lists combined efficiency at 95 to 104 MPGe and battery capacity at 85 kWh. For charging, Kelley Blue Book says a 240-volt home supply takes about 9.5 hours to go from 10 percent to 80 percent, while DC fast charging takes about 40 minutes for the same 10-to-80-percent interval. Tesla Supercharger stations can also be used with an adapter. Those are the published charging times to work from.

Using the July 2026 US average residential electricity price reported by the US Energy Information Administration, estimated home-charging cost at 12,000 miles per year is roughly 712 dollars at 104 MPGe or roughly 780 dollars at 95 MPGe. For comparison, a gasoline SUV averaging 21 mpg combined, such as the Honda Passport, would cost roughly 2,559 dollars a year at AAA's national average regular-gas price of 4.4768 dollars per gallon. These are estimates from EPA figures and published average prices, not measured consumption, and public DC fast charging generally costs more per kilowatt-hour than home charging.

Honda Prologue deals: why a 7,500 dollar price cut may not mean a 7,500 dollar saving

Carscoops reported that the single-motor EX fell from 48,895 dollars to 41,395 dollars and the dual-motor Elite fell from 59,395 dollars to 51,895 dollars, a 7,500 dollar MSRP reduction in each case. But Cars.com reported that dealer incentive programs shrank at the same time. Dealer cash fell from 16,000 dollars to 8,500 dollars, dealer cash plus APR fell from 8,000 dollars to 500 dollars, and dealer lease cash fell from 8,000 dollars to 500 dollars. Lease structures are explained in our 2026 electric-vehicle leasing guide. Cars.com summarized the change by writing that it 'comes out as a wash,' while noting that dealers may or may not have passed the previous incentive to customers.

Shoppers evaluating a Prologue deal should therefore compare the actual transaction structure rather than assuming the published MSRP change equals the amount saved. Check the specific vehicle's current selling price, which incentive program applies, and whether any dealer cash is reflected in the quoted deal. A buyer comparing a current offer with an earlier one should also separate MSRP from incentives instead of combining them into one headline number. Cars.com's reporting supports neither an automatic 7,500 dollar saving nor an automatic loss of value to the customer, because the effect depends on how the dealer handled the former incentives.

On-Road Price & Value for Money

Starting MSRP$57,900

The $57,900 Touring AWD is expensive for what the spec sheet returns — 273 miles of range and 155 kW charging, figures the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y better on at least one count each. What the money buys is a roomy, comfortable cabin, Google built-in, and the Honda badge and warranty on a first-generation EV.

What buying a discontinued Honda Prologue actually means

Honda's decision to end Prologue production after the 2026 model year does not mean sales stop immediately. Kelley Blue Book reported Honda's statement that sales will continue through early 2027 based on expected inventory. The specification table for the 2025 Touring all-wheel drive on this page lists an EV battery warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles, along with a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles. Those published warranty terms are important context for anyone considering remaining Prologue inventory after production ends.

Buyers should also separate discontinuation from tax-credit eligibility. Our EV incentives guide covers where things stand. Internal Revenue Service guidance says the New Clean Vehicle Credit, Previously-Owned Clean Vehicle Credit and Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit are not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. Resale value is a different question. A discontinued model could perform differently from models that remain in production, but no source here supports a resale prediction for the Prologue. The practical approach is to assess the purchase using the actual deal, applicable warranty coverage, remaining inventory situation and current operating-cost figures rather than assuming a future resale outcome.

Comparison with Rivals

Key competitors include the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E.

The Ioniq 5 has more characterful design and faster charging. The Model Y wins on range and the Supercharger network. The Prologue's strengths are Honda's reputation and a roomy, comfortable cabin.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Comfortable, roomy interior

Decent 273-mile range

Honda Sensing standard

Built-in Google features

Cons

Built on GM platform — not Honda engineering

Charging speed trails best EVs

Pricey for the range/equipment

Overall Rating

3.9 / 5 — a comfortable, well-equipped first EV effort that scores on space and familiarity, but 273 miles, 155 kW charging and a $57,900 sticker are a hard sell against the class leaders.

Research review

True Motion Auto has not independently road-tested this vehicle. Specifications, pricing and performance figures are compiled from manufacturer technical data and published independent tests, and are attributed where quoted. Our score reflects a structured research assessment of specifications, pricing, safety data and owner feedback for the segment — not an independent road test. Read how we review cars.

Final Verdict

The 2025 Prologue Touring AWD is competent and comfortable but lacks any standout feature. A safe choice if you want a familiar Honda-badged EV; better EVs exist for the price.
