Honda Unveils First All-Electric SUV With Expected Range of 300 Miles

Honda has unveiled its first all-electric SUV which is expected to offer 300 miles on a full charge. Pre-sale activities for the Honda Prologue will start later in 2023, with first deliveries slated for early 2024.

Honda will offer Prologue in both single-motor (front-wheel-drive) and dual-motor (all-wheel-drive) configurations with three trim levels – EX, Touring and Elite.

It  features Google built-in, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

It also comes standard with the Honda Sensing suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies, including Honda’s first applications of Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Blind Zone Steering Assist and Rear Pedestrian Alert.

The Prologue's cabin features two high-definition digital screens – a standard 11-inch digital driver instrumentation display and a 11.3-inch touchscreen.

The touchscreen incorporates a finger rest for the driver to steady their hand while making selections. 

Its 85kWh lithium-ion battery pack can recharge 65 miles of range in about 10 minutes.

Honda will introduce 30 new EVs globally by 2030.

In North America, Honda plans 100% zero-emission automobile sales by 2040:

Lance Woelfer, assistant vice president of Honda National Auto Sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. says: "The arrival of the all-new Honda Prologue is a pivotal moment for the brand as Honda begins the transition to our zero-emissions future. Prologue is aptly named as our first volume Honda EV, a stylish, sporty and spacious SUV that will take us toward our vision of 100% zero emissions vehicle sales by 2040.”

Honda aims to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050.
