2026 Honda Prologue
Car and Driver says Honda has slashed prices across the entire Prologue lineup, with every model now $7,500 less expensive, a response to the elimination of the federal EV tax credit; Honda hasn't confirmed the Prologue will continue into 2027, and with the brand recently canceling three of its next-generation EVs, its outlook is uncertain. MSRP runs $41,395-$51,895. MotorTrend says the single-motor FWD version makes 220 hp and 243 lb-ft, while the dual-motor AWD steps up to 300 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 mph in 6.0 seconds in testing, and says its range and charging performance don't stand out, so without subsidies its pricing must compete harder; MotorTrend lists top-ranked competitors as the Chevrolet Blazer EV, Jeep Wagoneer S, and Tesla Model Y.
