Honda
Like its Acura cousin, Honda had time to release one vehicle developed as part of its partnership with GM and that’s the Prologue, a compact crossover with standard dual-motor running gear (a single motor model is available in the U.S.). Power is decent at 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque, but the 452 km of max range is the real attraction.
Inside, the connection with GM is clear thanks to some shared switchgear, but the Prologue does get some touches – namely the dual pod dash as opposed to the single display the Equinox and Blazer get – to add some uniqueness.

Hyundai
Hyundai is well-ensconced on the EV market with its Ioniq twins, which continue to woo buyers and win awards. The Ioniq 5 crossover is the star of the show (and just wait until the N model arrives for 2025), with very unique styling that is an ingenious mix of retro and ultramodern, as well as a spacious interior and of course, top-drawer EV tech.
The Ioniq 6 sedan is arguably even more unique looking than the Ioniq 5 and while at first many said its arched roofline and sloping rear decklid might not age well, people continue to flock to Hyundai dealers to get their hands on one. Its slippery shape, meanwhile, means even better range than the Ioniq 5 from the same running gear thanks to better aerodynamics.
