The AWD dual-motor version with up to 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque starts at $50,400, while the range-topping Elite trim’s starting price is $57,900.

Honda announced the 2024 Prologue is eligible for the full $7,500 EV tax credit. With the credit, the Prologue’s starting price falls below $40,000.

Woelfer explained that the Prologue hits the “sweet spot” as a sleek, sporty electric SUV with the right price.

Although it’s based on GM’s platform, Honda tuned the vehicle with added multi-link front and rear suspensions for a “sporty and engaging” drive.
