Honda on Thursday supplied the closest look but at its 2024 Prologue electrical SUV, and revealed particulars about its dimension and rollout plans.
Honda had already basically revealed the outside design this summer season in a top level view of how the Prologue was designed, however this time is offering clearer pictures of the outside and inside.
In a press launch accompanying the images, Honda confirmed the Prologue is 192 inches lengthy, 78.3 inches huge, and 64.7 inches tall, with a 121.8-inch wheelbase. That places the Prologue firmly within the midsize SUV class, roughly between the present Honda Passport and Pilot, with a wheelbase similar to the Cadillac Lyriq.

It isn’t stunning that the Prologue shares a wheelbase size with the Lyriq because it’s primarily based on the identical Basic Motors Ultium element set. In Ultium autos, battery-pack dimension and wheelbase are linked. The Prologue can also be anticipated to be constructed alongside the Chevrolet Blazer EV in Mexico.
Along with exterior dimensions, Honda confirmed 21-inch wheels and a typical 11-inch driver show display and 11.3-inch touchscreen.
Whereas the Prologue is not scheduled to launch till 2024, Honda sees the redesigned 2023 CR-V Hybrid, which is scheduled to go on sale later this month, as a “gateway automobile” to the all-electric Prologue and different EVs, together with fashions primarily based on Honda’s personal structure scheduled to launch in North America in 2026.

To that finish, Honda plans to make the hybrid 50% of 2023 CR-V gross sales, and can provide hybrid prospects in California ZEV states a shorter two-year lease time period to allow them to swap a CR-V Hybrid for a Prologue when the latter arrives. Honda has mentioned that it’s going to goal 70,000 annual gross sales for the Prologue, so in these supposedly extra EV-amenable states will probably be rather more than a distinct segment automobile.
The lease program means that individuals who may in any other case get an EV will wait two years and drive a hybrid earlier than then. Is that this practical?
