Overview

The 2026 Honda Prologue is a fully electric midsize SUV built on GM’s Ultium platform. Sharing its architecture with the Chevrolet Blazer EV, the two-row 2026 Prologue seats five and offers either a single-motor FWD setup with 220 horsepower or a dual-motor AWD system producing 300 horsepower.

An 85-kWh battery delivers up to 308 miles of EPA-estimated range in FWD form. DC fast charging can replenish the battery from 20% to 80% in about 35 minutes. Standard Honda Sensing, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Google Built-In connectivity make the Prologue a practical option for families transitioning to electric ownership.

What’s New for 2026

The 2026 Honda Prologue midsize SUV carries over without changes to its design or powertrain, but charging is updated. Every Prologue now includes a Portable Charging Kit as standard. Buyers can choose between a wall-mounted home charging station with a $1,250 installation incentive through Honda Home Electrification or a $500 sales credit applied to the purchase or lease. The only other change is that Frostline White Pearl replaces Snowfall Pearl on the paint palette. Two trims are also cheaper this year, the EX AWD (-$900) and the Touring AWD (-$200).
