Honda Unveils First All-Electric SUV, Built on GM's Battery Platform

What comes before the first chapter in a new book? The prologue, as Honda has aptly named its first electric vehicle, an SUV that will hit dealers in 2024.

The Honda Prologue is the first of 30 new battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) the brand aims to launch globally by 2030. By 2040, Honda plans to be a fully electric brand. After the Prologue, Honda will launch an EV version of the Acura SUV later in 2024.

Honda has not confirmed pricing or miles of range for the Prologue, although Car & Driver suspects it will land around $45,000 and have 250 to 320 miles of range. What we do know is that it’ll be 8 inches longer and 5 inches wider than the 2023 Honda CR-V.

“We see a natural progression for a CR-V customer to Prologue with its slightly larger size, larger interior, and capable handling,” said Gary Robinson, VP of automobile planning and strategy at American Honda.
