Welp that didn’t last long. As reported by various news outlets back in October of 2023 and finally giving a definitive no by it’s CEO a few days ago… this Honda Prologue maybe one of the rarest Honda vehicles you can buy. Because it’s done after this…
So that kinda leaves this entire review a bit moot. But, you’re still intrigued by the Honda Prologue, read below:
Let’s get this out of the way first, yes this Honda Prologue is based on the Chevrolet Blazer. The problem we have it’s not just based on the Blazer EV, for intents and purposes it feels exactly the same as the Blazer EV. The ‘Honda magic’ is just not there.
What is the magic? It’s the lithe feeling behind the wheel, that flingability of the chassis, suspension and steering working in perfect harmony with each other, heck even Honda’s interior’s have their own DNA to them. It’s just a nice place to be. From their seats, to their switches…there is a light, delicate and yet authority to everything. It’s not earth shatteringly apparent but from your fingertips to your butt…you can tell the difference between a Honda interior and a Hyundai interior.
Not so much with this Prolazer, it feels the same as the Blazer. Yes, Honda thankfully fixed at least two of the Blazer’s annoying issues:
It has a Starter Button
It has CarPlay
Also there is a Honda badge on the steering wheel but at the same time it’s missing GM’s Supercruise. So well…boo.
While I think the Blazer looks better, the Prologue also suffers from the Blazer’s inherent faults.
