With a new front electric motor, the 2025 Honda Prologue has more speed and a longer range. Front-wheel-drive Prologue models now generate 220 horsepower, reflecting an increase of eight horsepower, while all-wheel-drive versions deliver 300 horsepower, marking a boost of 12 horsepower. All-wheel-drive Prologues can now travel up to 294 miles, and front-wheel-drive cars can travel an extra 12 miles for a total of 308 miles. The Prologue, Honda’s first electric vehicle made just for the US, got off to a great start in 2024. Even though it didn’t come out until the end of the second quarter, the Prologue was the sixth-best-selling electric mid-size SUV in the US last year, with 33,017 sales. The Prologue will be more appealing to EV buyers in 2025, though, thanks to a new front power unit that increases the SUV’s speed and range. The Prologue can be set up with either a single motor for front-wheel drive or two motors for all-wheel drive. The new electric motor increased the front-wheel-drive Prologue’s 220 horsepower by eight and torque by seven pounds per foot to 243 pounds per foot. The front-wheel-drive version of the Prologue gets an extra 12 miles of range, taking the total to 308 miles. Both of these things mean that it is more powerful and has a longer battery life. Also, the all-wheel-drive cars now have more power thanks to a better motor that adds 25 pound-feet of torque and 12 horsepower (for a total of 300). The Elite trim’s range has grown by 10 miles to 283 miles., and the Touring trim’s range has grown by 13 miles to 294 miles. In 2025, the base EX model with front-wheel drive will cost $48,850, which is only $55 more than the year before. The Touring grade starts at $53,150 with a front-wheel-drive engine. For an extra $3000, you can get all-wheel drive on the EX or Touring grade. All-wheel drive is the only way to get the top-of-the-line Elite trim, which starts at $59,350. Also, Honda says that all 2025 Prologue cars can take advantage of the $7500 federal tax credit for EVs.
