Honda Gives First Look at Prologue BEV
Honda has offered the first look at the exterior and interior styling of the all-new Honda Prologue battery-electric SUV that will come to market in North America in 2024.
According to Honda designers, the Prologue design features clean and simple “Neo-Rugged” exterior and interior styling and ample interior space.
The Honda design team based in Los Angeles is responsible for leading the exterior and interior styling of the all-new Prologue. Dubbed “Neo-rugged,” the design features 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 exterior of the Honda e EV model, Honda said.
The Prologue will be available in an exclusive North Shore Pearl exterior color and exclusive charcoal and light gray interior color, which was inspired by Lake Tahoe in California.
“Our goal was to create a clean harmony based on a rugged SUV image by coordinating the colors and materials to express neo-rugged design styling that’s familiar to our customers and uniquely Honda,” said Masaki Sumimoto, design lead for the Color, Materials and Finish.
To further build the Honda EV brand identity, the “H-mark” badge on the rear of the vehicle is replaced with the full Honda brand name in a stylized typeface. In addition, to align with Honda’s global EV models, Prologue will adopt the brand’s e: series name badging.
Prologue was conceived as a modern and fresh design that will feel at home in the showroom with existing Honda SUVs, Honda said, and its dimensions position the SUV alongside the Passport in Honda’s light truck lineup. Prologue will have a wheelbase of 121.8-inches, and is about 8-inches longer and 5-inches wider than the all-new 2023 Honda CR-V.
Showcasing a tech-rich cabin, the Prologue will have a standard fully digital 11-inch driver display panel and an 11.3-inch audio/connectivity display.
