In an era where rising costs have turn out to be the norm, Honda is doing something refreshingly unexpected with its all-electric Prologue. For 2025, the Prologue not only gets a noticeable boost in power and driving range, however it does so without inflating its price tag — other than a modest $55 increase in destination fees. That makes the updated Prologue a fair stronger value within the increasingly competitive EV landscape.
This thoughtful upgrade comes as Honda’s first mass-market electric SUV continues to make waves, outselling every General Motors EV in 2024 despite being built on GM’s Ultium platform. In reality, the Prologue earned the title of best-selling non-Tesla EV within the U.S. through the final quarter of 2024 — no small feat in today’s EV market.
What’s Latest for 2025?
For its sophomore model 12 months, the 2025 Honda Prologue gets a revamped front power unit that adds extra horsepower and torque across the lineup. The one-motor, front-wheel-drive variants now produce 220 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, up from 212 hp and 236 lb-ft. Meanwhile, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive versions step as much as 300 horsepower and 355 lb-ft of torque, gains of 12 hp and 25 lb-ft over the previous model 12 months.
Those bumps in power also include added range. The Prologue EX and Touring trims with single-motor setups now boast an EPA-estimated 308 miles, a 12-mile improvement over 2024. AWD versions see similar gains, with as much as 294 miles of range, while the top-trim Elite offers 283 miles on a full charge.
No Price Hike (Sort Of)
Despite these worthwhile upgrades, Honda is keeping the Prologue’s pricing regular for 2025. The bottom EX starts at $47,400 (plus a $1,450 destination fee), and with the still-available $7,500 federal EV tax credit, buyers can see that price dip to $39,900 — assuming they act before any potential policy changes.
Here’s how the 2025 Prologue lineup breaks down:
| Trim | Drive | Price (Before Incentives) | Range | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EX | Single Motor (2WD) | $47,400 | 308 miles | 220 hp / 243 lb-ft |
| EX | Dual Motor (AWD) | $50,400 | 294 miles | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft |
| Touring | Single Motor (2WD) | $51,700 | 308 miles | 220 hp / 243 lb-ft |
| Touring | Dual Motor (AWD) | $54,700 | 294 miles | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft |
| Elite | Dual Motor (AWD) | $57,900 | 283 miles | 300 hp / 355 lb-ft |
Charging Made Easy
Whether you’re charging at home or on the go, Honda goals to make the Prologue experience as painless as possible. Every purchase comes together with your selection of three comprehensive charging packages, starting from home charger installation credits to public charging credits with networks like EVgo and Electrify America.
For instance, buyers can select a Level 2 home charging station with a $500 installation credit or go for as much as $750 in public charging credits in the event that they rely more on fast chargers. Honda also throws in 60 kWh of free charging at Electrify America stations for each latest Prologue owner.
DC fast charging speeds are solid, with the flexibility so as to add about 65 miles of range in only 10 minutes because of its 150 kW charging capability.
Should You Buy Now?
While the 2025 Prologue is a greater vehicle than before, its future faces some uncertainty. Some reports have claimed that Honda recently asked GM to slow production, likely as a result of an oversupply on dealer lots and possible concerns over tariffs or the potential rollback of federal EV tax credits under shifting political winds. With the Prologue in-built Mexico, any latest import tariffs could further complicate pricing down the road.
Honda is already trying to its future, with plans to launch its own in-house EV platform out of Ohio by 2026. Nevertheless, the Prologue — together with its Acura ZDX sibling — stays the brand’s flagship EV for now.
So, if you happen to’ve been eyeing the Prologue, now could be a sensible time to purchase or lease. Attractive incentives are still in place, and the improvements for 2025 only strengthen the case for Honda’s all-electric SUV. Whether it’s the upgraded range, the bump in power, or simply the safety of owning a well-equipped and thoughtfully designed EV from a trusted brand, the Prologue proves that sometimes, you possibly can get more in your money — even in today’s market.
