Key Points
- The 2026 Honda Prologue starts at $48,895 (all prices include $1,495 destination charge).
- No changes for the 2026 model year
- Up to 308 miles of range
Honda and its luxury brand, Acura, took a cautious step into the electric-vehicle market with the Prologue and ZDX, a pair of SUVs. The Prologue is based heavily on the Chevrolet Blazer EV, the ZDX on the Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. While Acura is discontinuing the ZDX for 2026 after just one model year on the market, the Prologue is sticking around, holding down the fort until the automaker’s all-new EV, the 0 Series, goes into production. But with that big project on the horizon, Honda is leaving the Prologue unchanged for 2026.

Powertrain Specs and Range
Front-drive Prologues have a single electric motor generating 220 horsepower and 243 pounds-feet of torque. With AWD, the SUV adds a second electric motor that increases total output to 300 hp and 355 pounds-feet.
All 2026 Honda Prologues have an 85-kilowatt-hour battery pack.
