"Roman, when he's wearing his really expensive toupe, would hit his head as well." LOOL

I just returned from my local dealer, after sitting in two of these, they were unlocked. Had to be quick, as I did not want to be eaten by a salesperson. 😂😂😂. With that said, this car did not remind me of a GM at all. I felt like I was sitting in a Honda, which is what the goal is, right? The interior room was mind blowing, and second row will swallow you in space. I am even sold more now, after having experienced this first hand versus just the you tube videos. Love this car.

Thanks for the review, Nathan. Everything else aside, that charge door is much better than the complicated GM design. I wonder how committed Honda is to this model, since this partnership is not their long term strategy.

Honda and Toyota need to team up!

CarPlay is enough of a reason to go with this over the blazer

I wasn't excited about the Prologue initially. I like the Kia EV6 and Ioniq 6, but I am now convinced that if I saw this Honda at the dealership, I would seriously consider it. I do also love the fact that you can use Google Maps right in front of you. That combined with me growing up with Hondas, I'm not sure if I would buy the Kia or Hyundai instead of the Prologue. I love a solid, smooth ride and it sounds like that's exactly what Honda is bringing to the table.

Thanks, Nathan. Great review. This is pretty much what I expected from Honda working with Ultium underpinnings.

Thanks for the early look and driving impressions!! Yes, Honda puts a HIGH priority on EXECUTION of the design. Not just a bunch of specs. HCP and AA - yes. Quiet - yes. Ease of access to critical bits - yes. Frunk -. 😮. Looked like there was space for one. If the cooling systems vent downward or to sides, there’s a decent chance for duffel bags, boots, groceries etc up front. Thanks again!

Better looking than the model Y

Great Review. Drove-test this recently. Really appreciated the looks, spacious room, and comfortable seating/ride. Also you forgot to mention the panoramic sunroof with retractable cover and ambient lighting. Gonna try out the Chevy EV.

As usual, price is always not right. 50k? That stupid 😅

This car looks incredible in person. Saw it in black and I had to go online to look up which model it is. Very sharp design

I love Nathan's reviews.

“First all electric”???? Wow, I can’t believe he made that obvious of a mistake. Honda had the all electric Clarity, which came out in 2017. I test drove one, and really liked it,but passed because it only had 80 miles of range and the dealer wasn’t willing to deal. That lead me to lease my second Chevy Volt.

I really wish reviewers would stop calling this "[Honda's] first all-electric vehicle for the United States" - this is their *FOURTH* Honda EV to be available in the US. They leased the "EV Plus" from 1997-1999, the first EV to use a battery technology other than lead-acid. (The other late '90s EVs would all follow suit in updates.) Although they made extremely few of these, this had the lowest production volume of any of the "made by a major automaker" late '90s EV that actually ended up in consumer hands. And much like the GM EV1, all were leased, with no option to purchase. Honda made the Fit EV variant of the ICE Fit from 2013-2015. In moderate numbers in "CARB" states. Officially it was only supposed to be available for lease, with no option to purchase; but a few snuck out. I have a neighbor who still has one that they will hold on to until the sun swallows the Earth. The Clarity Electric was available from 2017-2019. Yet again, lease-only. I suppose if you specified "for purchase" rather than a general statement, it would be accurate. Of course, by this pattern, the Prologue will stop production in 2026. :-D

Does it have similar ground clearance (~7.9in) as the Blazer EV? If so, that would be a selling point in favor over the IONIQ 5.

As a 2024 Cadillac Lyriq AWD owner, looking in the Prologue or the Acura ZDX, I can see every single point of comparison with my car. I imagine I'd feel the same way inside it that I feel in my car.

This car looks good, Honda/GM products have a future.

I wear hiking boots & skinny jeans so the ladies think I'm a manly lumberjack. Unfortunately, my pencil neck and smooth, delicate hands give the game away. Love the extra console storage: perfect for my murse. Honda has a hit! Nice collaboration with GM, which makes a lot of sense given the expense of EV development. Thanks Nathan, another great review!

What is with the prices. Ouch

Great video Nathan! Thanks. This is too expensive for a Honda. Tesla Model Y is superior and a lot less expensive. Better tech and superior charging speed…. Did I mention the Supercharger network?

Loved the cheater amps back in the day. I was a Soundstream nut in the 90s and wish I never got rid of my Class A 5.0. Rated at 12.5 watts x 2 @ 4Ω and then 250 x 2 @ .5Ω stereo, or 500 @ 1 Ω bridged. Helped me hit 141dB with two Soundstream SPL12’s in a sealed box. Not even ported. They were very efficient at producing huge current to the speakers in low impedances. Plus the chrome chassis was beautiful to look at and a PITA to keep clean! Bring back the 90s!! lol

GM has really great hardware, but we all know about their software issues. This car with GM hardware and Honda software actually makes a lot of sense. Still too expensive for what it is though.

You should drag race and 0-60 test against the blazer. Let's see how different they really are.

exterior and interior design is good, but its a shame that its a GM platform. Could have been a hybrid vehicle instead and would be a much better proposition

Hmm. Wonder, in this brave new world of car sales, if is better spend most on trim or least, in terms of resale....

Not sure who they market these cars for? A full loaded model is $60k and the tax credit doesn’t apply to this car. Whereas you can get a Model Y performance for $45k after tax credit.

I'm getting tired of the no spare tire thing in newer cars. If i ever get a new car and hell will freeze over before that happens that will be a requirement. and im not talking a donut tire a full size size spare will be required or im not even thinking about buying it

Power Button is a big plus with less Phantom Drain and system reliability.

i miss the clarity EV. that was a great EV offering for the US

Designed in California. That explains why the range is so low lol. I’m from Oregon and everywhere here is at least an hour away. I would be pretty anxious about range. I know it says 280 miles, but they never get what they say and it’s cold most of the time up here. At the end of the day, probably only get around 240 on average. That’s not quite good enough. I would need to know that it could get 280 consistently in the cold.

Play Freebird!!

This IS NOT the first all electric EV for Honda in the USA. back in the 90s, had the Honda EV plus, have had the Honda FIT in EV, the Clarity...

Most likely I would wait for the new Rivian R2 which has flat folding seats and better range. Similar price.

2:13 TF! was that!? 😂

I love the looks, but it is too expensive in comparison to its competition.

Honda treating EV power output like their small combustable engines. Not real sure the same longevity philosophies apply here.

7:42 My Lyriq has a nice rear passenger display for the HVAC and heated seats back there. I'm surprised Honda didn't include it.

7:08 - since it's Ultium underneath, the only thing we want to know is DOES THE SOFTWARE WORK...? cause if it does, then it implies GM has deliberately programmed in the software glitches to the Hummer Truck, Hummer SUV, Lyriq, and Blazer EV.

They need to offer the 19in wheels and the 100kwh Ultium pack as a LR option in the Elite trim. Maybe they are saving that for the ZDX?

$59K? 😂

The Ultium platform rides very smooth and is very stable on ice/ snow. Unfortunately, as you come off highways into off ramp curves you really feel how heavy these things are and how resistant they are to turning. It's not a deal breaker. The deal breaker is the software bugs they've had. Those bugs have led to numerous stop sales.

No matter what Honda says, its a rebadged blazer.

I like the Honda touches, but I can't shake the feeling that this thing is a frankenstein. When I buy a Honda, I want it to be a Honda, not a corporate mish-mash.

Not 150 kWh charging, but 150kwh per hour or just 150kw

55K for this Outdated EV or 40k for the Equinox EV?

Lost me at "squishy ride". But, it looks nice. Could just be the blue though; that color is glorious.

Ultium based, huh? So that means they may make a hundred a month, if problems don't keep them from selling them at all? 😀 Nonetheless, good to see Honda get in the game.

I Drive Honda's New Electric SUV For The First Time! Prologue Full Tour, Software, & Road Test Out of Spec Reviews

You can't fool us Nathan. We know birds aren't real

More like “Game Over”

Never buy a GM , GM Clone . I almost regret buying my 2023 pilot after seeing this !

Any "partnership" with GM concerns me. How much of the vehicle is truly Honda designed/developed? Both Honda and Chevy look nice depending on your preference, but if not vastly Honda, I will take a full pass. Thanks for video. At those prices, Tesla still looks like a better offering for the 3 & Y, especially since they are coming with full refresh in '24.

I would be leery of buying any EV in its initial year or two. Especially when it is built on the Ultium platform, which do far has been problematic.

Far better than the Blazer. I'm a Model Y owner and I really like it. If I were to get one now I would lease it just to see how it works out but also because I would only buy an EV now if it has the NACS port. CCS cars are going to be a hard sell for the next year or so with consumers knowing NACS is almost here and will be the new standard.

YAY! - GM does all the heavy R&D lifting and investment. Honda refinement makes the Blazer a wee bit better. More importantly Honda satisfies a 'needed' check mark with the Prologue and can now focus development on more models and tech that the market will actually buy.

The Blazer is Punk Rock…Nathan out here trying to steal my heart.

How does it have the same cargo capacity as an X1? Less headroom too. Still, the Prologue is my favorite of any current EVs but I wish I got the larger battery. Huge bonus having a manual charge door., two thumbs up. I by far like the exterior design more than most other vehicles. With extreme cold issues, depreciation concerns, and still only “okay” range, I think I won’t be in the market for an EV for another 5+ years. The Rivian R2S could be a contender if they get the price and capabilities right.

General Motors are funked

$60K for Elite.....Ooof.

Pass. If I wanted a Blazer, I'd buy a Blazer.

1 pedal driving is the work of the devil. Thankfully this has blended brake

But if it didn’t have plastic faux off-roady looking bits, people might call it a wagon.

Pass. Needs NACS first. Then we’ll talk.

I would hold off for now, still waiting for EV to match the specs of their gas counterparts and for the tech/infrastructure to catch up

Its too expensive when compared to a Tesla Model Y. I am not sure Honda will support this mpdel.

you said you always lose the "key cards"? I would suggest putting them in your wallet. I have a regular folding wallet and a credit card holding wallet.

This definitely shares a lot of interior hardware with my new Colorado and other GM products. Weird to see in a Honda.

5:00 I can't believe THEY get a SPORT MODE button and I don't.

I like it but would have to change those rims

Not available in EU kinda sucks :(

I see it being discontinued

IMHO looks like a Dacia.. Way overpriced. 30ish before discounts would have been more adequate..

You can bet on a $5k markup at my Honda dealers. Maybe more.

Underpinned by GM? Nope

Hell no it’s not a game changer , it’s way too expensive. You can get a CRV equipped more than that for less. It’s a a game changer all right but it’s a losing game…lol

Automakers need to make their touch point buttons bigger on these touchscreens.

BMW makes Toyotas. GM makes Hondas. What are we doing?

Nice blazer!

Cool video… We need a new Prologue with better battery range….

Yeah not for that price. Way too expensive. Remember in 2024 EVs cost more money to operate and fuel then gas cars in some areas. And gas cars for that price are more comfortable

$60,000 for 273 mi range and a 0-60 of 7.2 sec??? That is embarrassing, Honda. Why are you forcing me to give my money to Elon Musk? Do better.

summary: good looking, fantastic colours, drives like a car... a nice way to say avoid buying it

With prices around 50-60k I will pass for now. Bring Chinese EVs to the US, because they had more time on the road and they are cheaper.

Other reviewers have shown the rear seats recline.

There's a reason GM is stopping sales of their Blazer EV while Honda is launching their Prologue. It's simple really, GM is a greedy vampire trying to bake bloated paywalls into their software. Honda kept it simple by offering Android Auto and CarPlay. Two very useful things GM got rid of in hopes of milking consumers by offering their paid alternative. I love the karma of it all. Hope it costs them Billions. And I hope Vinfast can take over their spot

For that price I’ll get a new Tacoma

EV is for rich people

I would take a used Tesla Model Y over this any day. I'm not a Tesla fan boy but the difference between Tesla and everyone else is pretty stark.

It’s not a real Honda the dealers are ashamed even if they don’t admit it.

I will buy Honda , but not in this case GM.

Anything involving GM gives me pause

Just too much money for what you are getting, unfortunately! For me buying electric has to be economical as well as environmentally correct and I’m not seeing this here in total package. I wish it was otherwise!

Why would people take this car if they are not cheaper than tesla.

Sorry guys ,but 296 miles divided by 2.55 kilograms of hydrogen ( 85 ÷ 33.333 ) is 116.08 miles per kilogram of hydrogen. NOT 107 MPGe. To calculate miles per gallon of gasoline we need to convert kilograms of hydrogen to gallons of gasoline ( 2.55 ÷ 0.3715 ) = 6.86 gallons. So 296 ÷ 6.86 = 43.15 MPG or 43.15 MPGe .

A GM by any other name...

I guess wives would like Honda better 😏

way to expensive!

Too pricey and mediocre range and performance like many legacy auto EVs.

Will sell like hotcakes, designed and built in Japan
