A prototype for the upcoming Honda Prologue has been spotted for the first time.
The Prologue is an electric SUV first announced in 2021 and is based on General Motors’ Ultium platform. It will go on sale as a 2024 model, which means we’ll likely see it start selling next year.
GM is handling development and will also be responsible for production that is expected to take place at its plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. The factory is where the Chevrolet Blazer and Equinox are built, and also where upcoming electric versions of the two GM models are made.
Recently revealed things 2024 Chevy Blazer EV is a good indication of the size and shape of the Prologue. Comparing the Prologue prototype with the Blazer EV reveals similarities such as the side windows extending from the A-pillars to the C-pillars. The positions of the side mirrors and door handles also match.
Honda is responsible for tweaking the Prologue’s handling and styling, inside and out. The automaker in May released a opening sketch of the prologue has a design that looks more aesthetically pleasing than the Blazer EV.
