2024 Honda Prologue Early Review | Consumer Reports
Рет қаралды 26,009
Күн бұрынHonda finally has a mainstream, mass-market electric vehicle for sale. The 2024 Honda Prologue boasts unique styling, straight forward controls, and competitive electric range. But for better or worse, the Prologue is built on GM’s Ultium electric vehicle platform and shares much of its design with the Chevrolet Blazer EV.

Why not a $30K Honda CR-V vs 50KPrologue? The price difference would be enough to pump gas for almost quarter million miles I would guess. ($3/gal and CRV having 34mpg highway)

In Cali gas is still about $5 per gal. Some EV offer free charging. You can get 7500 or 11k in rebates off from the purchase price. If using a EV for business they can be a tax write off as well. So an EV the Prologue is pretty comparable to the CRV.
@burntbeanjuic3 24 күн бұрын
Price of gas aside, if you're vehicle buying decision comes down to running cost you would need to account for the reduced maintenance cost of the electric model, difference in cost to insure, and depreciation across the time you plan to keep the vehicle. But I'd say this cost comparison likely comes second (or more) to the buyer's emotional response to a particular model.

This car is everything but Honda. Will be honest, I feel ashamed as a Honda employee that we produce and sell the Prologue. And a quick note to Consumer Reports, just be honest with your thoughts. Don’t sugar coat your reviews with words such as “Range is Ok or the charging speeds are adequate “. A $60k Honda vehicle it shouldn’t offer 150 kWatt charging and it shouldn’t have ok Range. Just say it sucks!

Charging speed is limited by the GM battery design otherwise known as Ultium. Unfortunately for GM, they are in a parallel structure which means they are limited in their charging speeds. It allows GM to stack them on two layers for larger batteries and greater range, but unless the battery is bigger it can only charge at a slower rate due to the parallel architecture. One of the reasons this car is Honda's first and last joint project with GM. They are now working on their own battery architecture and from now on out it will be their own battery and motors. They decided although GM allowed them to move faster into this market, they don't want to be tied to GM's limited charging speed tech long term (probably for other reasons as well).

Why can't manufacturers integrate displays into the dash? I say dash, because it is NOT an "instrument panel" since the instruments are these popups. The temperature controls are nice, but they could look more modern, rather than something from 60 years ago. And for that price, wouldn't most people expect something more upscale?

I just test drove this new Prologue AWD Touring along with new CRV, HRV and Pilot. Prologue is the best vehicle Honda currently sells and it happens to be made by GM. This vehicle will be off to a slow start since many boomers will take a year or two to figure out how amazing it is. Most people just have no clue. My local dealer sells Prologue Touring FWD for 42k after tax credit, this is exact price of new CRV Sport Touring, which happens to be much much worse in every way.

it would have been helpful to note that Honda and GM unceremoniously ended the partnership that produced the Prologue. In other words, this was a one-off and will thus likely be subject to considerable depreciation as owners discover that Honda may not have much interest in ensuring that the thing can be serviced past its eighth year of service.

All official battery statistics are very deceptive. It’s recommended that batteries be charged to 80 percent capacity. You’re not supposed to fast-charge too often. Failure to follow these two rules on a regular basis will diminish battery life. Furthermore, during winter battery range will sharply decrease, as I discovered with my Prius. Oh, and very hot weather is also bad for the battery.
