• Honda shows off the styling of its first all-electric SUV, the 2024 Prologue.
• The model sits above the CR_V and alongside the Passport in the Honda hierarchy of SUVs.
• Honda vaunts the Prologue’s “Neo-Rugged” styling!
Honda has shared images giving a fairly detailed look at the upcoming 2024 Prologue. The brand’s first all-electric SUV won’t hit the North American market until 2024, but now we know what it will look like outside and in. This midsize model is, by the way, a joint project between Honda and General Motors, and is in fact a close cousin ot the recently unveiled 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EV.

Neo-rugged styling
We’re not quite sure what this appellation means, but it’s how Honda is describing the exterior look of its Prologue. The idea, most likely, is to convey that the model, all-electric though it is, is equipped to handle at least mild off-roading or rugged terrain. Or at the least, look like it can. But the ‘Neo’ implies something modern and fresh, so not your uncle’s rugged vehicle. Here’s Honda’s explanation:
“Neo-rugged was coined as the design direction, bringing the harmony of nature’s elements to the exterior and interior of Prologue. This design direction is reflected in details like the panoramic roof and large 21-inch wheels, which give the model a capable and planted exterior. The front fascia is influenced by the distinctive exterior of the ground-breaking Honda e EV model.”

Otherwise, Honda has replaced the usual ‘H-mark’ badge on the model’s back end with full HONDA lettering in a stylized typeface. It’s a sign of the times, so to speak, since we’ve seen several brands adopt the same kind of straightforward identification in lieu of a badge.
Honda puts the Prologue EV on the same level as the Passport SUV and above the CR-V, size-wise. The SUV will have a wheelbase of 3094 mm and be about 203 mm longer and 127 mm wider than the revised 2023 CR-V.
All-wheel drive will be a standard inclusion.
Inside, the Prologue will feature a standard 11-inch driver data screen and 11.3-inch infotainment display on the center console.
That’s it for now, but don’t panic, Honda promises more gradual divulgations of details about the 2024 Prologue in the coming months, so stay tuned.
