I'll disagree - the Tesla Model Y is not the best car and I can argue that all day long. Part of the thing Honda NAILED is the styling - my wife hated every other EV because, like Tesla, they look like a Space Ship. "I don't want to drive a space ship. I want a smart SUV that happens to be electric."
The Prologue looks way better. The Model Y has sentry mode, lane centering, supercharger access, dog mode, bioweapon defense mode, phone as key, more horsepower, and more range. Everyone pays the price that’s advertised for the Tesla, the seats are more comfortable, there are driver profiles (steering wheel and seats) that automatically adjust when you open the door, it charges at 250kW, and it’s cheaper. The Prologue is better looking, for sure. But, as an owner of both, it’s hard to argue that the Prologue is better.
After watching many Prologue review videos, I have to tell you that this video and the others you’ve done on the Prologue are super detailed. Things you’ve shown I have not seen in any other reviews. Thank you so much for being so thorough and explaining things so well
@@Aslash304 The honda chevlogue EX FWD is better than a model Y. No crappy leather seats that crack and wrinkle and get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It has real door handles the model Y doesnt. The charging port door isnt electronic like crap like the model Y and neither is the glovebox like crappy model Y. Also it has a full metal roof and hailstones wont bust through the glass like that guy in canada and hailstones busting through his glass roof in his tesla. Front wheel drive is better for the winter and you cannot even get a front wheel drive tesla and it has more range than a model Y. Also it has a real gear shifter and real turn signal stalks and real AC controls so on. Also the door handles are better for icy conditions so on. overall better design. you made wrong choice getting the trim you did tho glass roof is a no no.
@@Aslash304 My choice would be prologue EX mercury silver metallic color FWD OR LX Trim FWD if they offered it. The cloth interior will last longer than leather on higher trims also full metal roof is a winner no worries about cracks/chips or hailstones busting through or leaks from seals lol. Also the front wheel drive will have less cv axles to replace/repair and more range. If the dealer got one id trade current one for that tbh save money and have better car tbh. base models more rare, but they are better in alot of ways people dont realize actually weigh less so better mpge/mpg also and just less crap to gizmos to break. if you intend to keep the car and not just a lease this is what i would do personally.
I like having physical controls for climate, windshield wipers and such (not to mention gear shift, turn signals). I also like having a small driver display, rather than having to take my eyes off the road and look off center to check my speed. Maybe I’m old, but I just prefer not having everything in one screen, buried in levels of menus. So the Prologue seems right up my alley.
Good review of the good and bad. It seems car makers seem to be caught up in the technology/toy department. It seems impossible to just jump in and drive. First you have set up all your options, figure out how the dam screen menus work or don't work. Interior options are limited to black and grey, and there are so many buttons on the steering wheel that you have to look down to see which one to push. Worst of all is the talking navigation, which sometimes works great, other times not so great.
Thanks for the feedback. Totally agree with the sentiment on the GPS. For the avoidance of doubt, my 2012 Toyota RAV4 has 2 fewer buttons on the steering wheel than the Prologue. Following distance and driver Display configuration are the only differences. This is a 10 year old car layout that happens to run on electricity.
I too got a prologue. After testing out the Model 3 and Y, I settled on the Honda. I didn't purchase, but leased. For a gateway EV, it's the best option for me. My first big test is a 3000+ mile roadtrip in WA, ID, UT, CO, and AZ. Some spots are few and far as far as chargers, but so far the mileage range estimates are off, and I believe I can maximize the range.
@@Aslash304 Well my roadtrip cut short. The Prologue started giving me service brake system and other braking warnings on the dash, disc braking not working right, so I brought it into the dealer. There's another on there for 44 days that needs a new master cylinder. Mine has 1804 miles on it. Just a heads up.....looking at some forums seems the Chevy blazer may have the same issue too.
The Google built in makes it easy to recommend Honda Prologue (or Acura ZDX) for the first time EV driver. Google built in shows your arrival SOC and adds charging stops which are optimized to be at the faster stations along your route. I’ve now spent almost 3000 miles road tripping this system in Prologue and ZDX and it’s proven in my experience to be simple and conservative, again what a first time EV owner needs.
for the seat memory, once you set it, you have to just hold down. So if you're driver #2, you have to hold 2 down until it moves into the memorized position. It's not press it once and it moves into that position.
"EV 80quitte" is another big reason these won't catch on as a total replacement for ICE. It's one thing when it's a bunch of snooty tech bros who are all "in the know" about EV and charging etiquette, and entirely different thing when every asshole feels the need to charge at 50% when they're just 10 miles from home.
I haven’t been late for anything since I got one. Every time I leave where I am I either have enough charge to get where I’m going, or I’ve planned my route that sets aside time to charge.
I've had a Prologue Elite for 3+ months and 4,000 miles now, and I have to say I agree with everything you said in this video (not something I can usually say about UA-cam videos from car folks). I traded in my '22 Hyundai Ioniq 5 (which I had for about 5 months) for the Prologue, and the only thing I regret about the move is the low trade-in value I got for the Ioniq. I like the ground clearance and the fact that this car sits higher than the Ioniq (my last ICE daily driver was a CR-V Hybrid), I like the generous passenger space (I'm a big guy) and I like ride and handling. I do a lot of driving on two-lane highways and the 288hp gives me plenty of confidence when passing. As a 60-something older guy who has driven ICE cars for 40+ years, the Prologue is the perfect EV. Maybe not the best EV, but the best EV for me. Thanks for the video. I've subscribed to your channel and will look for more great content from you. But, you know, no pressure.
I really appreciate this sincere insight. I am glad you found some value in my video. I’ll try the best I can to meet your expectations going forward. Many thanks for the feedback
The seat memory on my Prologue Elite works great. Perhaps the feature is set to "off", or you're not allowing the seat in your profile? Also, the color you show for the Elite if the orange/gray is an OPTION. You can get it in two-tone dark gray, light gray/dark gray, or orange/gray.
I've had my Prologue touring AWD for a couple of weeks. It's my first EV. I really like it. It's plenty fast, quiet and handles just fine. Not a fan of the GM sounds and the horn honking instead of beeping to let you know things like getting out with the car on. Also not a fan of the piano black (why do they still put this in cars!?) I installed a chargepoint level 2 charger hardwired into my panel. I am not sure I would own a non Tesla as my only vehicle due to the wonky charging infrastructure especially here in the PNW. Lots on the west side but not so much east of the mountains. We have my wife's cr-v hybrid for trips out of town. I like that it's more or less like a traditional car. Not super great looking but not ugly or weird looking. Lots of controls that are NOT only in the touchscreen which is the main reason I would not buy a tesla. For now it's just day to day driving around town which is perfect for my use case. Maybe once superchargers are available I will take it further out of town.
16:00 Great owner interview. Cool that folks gawked at his car just for the color. Nice color. It looks like Ford's grabber blue. You're right. It doesn't look like an EV because it doesn't have recessed door handles.
That looks NOTHING like the original accord let’s be real. Stop lying to yourself. But it still looks better than most other crappy Hondas these days. Nowhere nears as good looking as the Fisker. Thanks again for a great video.
From 10%-20%, it’s $15-$35 depending on where you are in the US and what network you’re using. For example, EVGo credits are available for the Prologue, making those sessions free. Here’s a complete road trip video that shows data from the 3 most used Fast Charging networks: ua-cam.com/video/UrN9LWT7lF8/v-deo.htmlsi=4DC0HIlKHoghcW9z
I have a MY LR and will soon be in the market for a second vehicle. We''ve always driven Hondas and I was hopeful that the Prologue would seem promising. Seems like a decent car, but this crapshoot of a charging situation, with no real fast charging, is an absolute deal breaker. Is it like that with most non-Tesla EVs? Or is this just a Honda Prologue thing.
@@krisbrown04 this is how it works. The ionic 5 and EV 6 have decent charging also. However, other than a Porsche Taycan, or a hummer EV, this is just how it is.
Adam, I think there was recent court activity in Delaware re Fisker. And Magna International CEO Swamy Kotagiri said the company is unlikely to open a contract manufacturing plant like the one it has in Austria. I guess this is the one in AZ.
110v = 3 miles per hour. No matter mu bolt or tesla. 220v in my bolt is 25 miles per hour with a 40 amp "Oven cable" install. If you have a "dryer cable" install, you will get 12 miles per hour. The thing I like about the Prologue versus the blazer is the door is not a wonky dropping door that you know will stick later in life. Also Honda has android auto
LMAO I got sidetracked 17:44 watching your friend eat a snack 18:09 in the reflection of the screen. Ps. the description of charging was extremely helpful.
One little thing to add. I’m not sure if you mentioned that it has normal door handles. Something I try not to care about but I do. For future content you could compare it more to the Blazer EV. I like the way the Elite trim of the Prologue is packaged, GM is doing some odd things with the Blazer, at least with the 2024. If you watch reviews of this car GM gets a lot of hate and Honda a lot of anger for working with them. But my worry is with Honda, not GM. GM seems all in to me, the only reason I’d choose the Blazer over the Honda is I’m not sure if Honda is committed. I think one exception to your Japan not being into EVs is Nissan. The Ariya is a good car, that started out too expensive and with some mediocre specs. You can tell Nissan put some love into it. I’m a Toyota fan and I agree that Toyota’s EVs were designed to not sell and prove the point that EVs are not ready from prime time. Toyota couldn’t help but make the BZ4X a car that was reliable to get from point a to b short distances but you can tell they didn’t want to make it. Thanks for the review.
This proves that for road tripping, you need a Tesla. But I agree with people that say Tesla's have an appearance problem. Does that mean the EVs in general that look...normal, are simply not a good road trip vehicles?
A 2 Liter at a convenience store is $5. It’s $1.49 at the grocery store. A few minutes of planning and an EV becomes the $1.49 option. If you don’t plan, you continue to pay $5.00 (gasoline). I’ll prove the Prologue is a perfectly good roadtrip vehicle in an upcoming video. From the largest DC fast charging desert in the eastern United States.
Thanks Adam, that's a lot to take in, especially when trying to compare with the Blazer EV. There are a lot of similarities, but also plenty of differences. I'd like to see a side by side comparison at some time. I'm on the West coast and got the Blazer EV because they took my Fisker Ocean in trade and gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, just the day before the Note holder called Fisker's loan.
Sounds like you got a pretty good deal getting out, especially compared to others. I’ll see if I can track down a Blazer EV and look side by side. I know there are changes for ‘25. I appreciate you sharing your story. And thanks a lot for watching!
I haven’t finished watching all of this video - but bless you for the Slow Res Chart - I’ve been trying to get my head around 800v architecture EV and the limitations with different charger stalls for the duration I’ve had my GV60 RWD nearly 2 years and you with your Slow Res Chart have finally made it all make sense. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I purchased this car, and intend to own it. Because of that, I won’t run the battery to zero. I’ll be more than happy to do a range test for my next video. But I’ll do a mathematical calculation based on a 90% drain ( 100-10% ) because running a battery to zero is really not good for the battery. Look for it soon
Great discussion on the Prologue. Can you discuss reliability in light of the General Motors problems with this platform in their Blazer. Would you recommend leasing the Prologue as a hedge against reliability, service availability and long term durability problems? I understand Honda is abandoning its relationship with General Motors and this car in 2025. Thank you. I test drove a Prologue yesterday; liked it but have concerns.
If you can get a good deal on a lease, then that’s something to consider. The software issues that resulted in a stop sale of the Blazer have been fixed. Finally, if you’re concerned about reliability, don’t buy any 1st generation car.
What I can’t seem to find out is if it come with a heated steering wheel? Or is that on just the Elite trim? I can’t seem to find anything about it which makes me worried that it’s not even an option!
A long one - but content warranted it. Really appreciated. Highly informative video and your constant change of tempo and use of graphics makes viewing easy. Nice job.
@@Aslash304The effort you put into all your videos short or long is hugely appreciated and I’m sure we don’t fully realise the commitment it takes. Informative and entertaining - simply stellar. Thanks.
So glad I stuck with my Honda CRV sport touring hybrid instead of going with the Prologue. I LOVE the way it looks but hate all the bads you mentioned, many of which (No lane centering and wonky memory seats) are real deal breakers. Also Piano black is a huge nono in interior design.
@@Aslash304 This is true. The moment Honda makes a completely Honda SUV in jumping in! In the meantime, if I wanted a GM product I'd just go with the Lyriq.
I just switched from a CRV Hybrid Touring to the Prologue Elite and the only issue that bugs me is the lack of LKAS... but I'm willing to live with it because of all the other benefits. Seat memory works just fine on my Prologue.
The fob isn't printed with a number on it, but there is a 1 and 2 fob. My memory started working when I programmed my position for both fobs... so try that. It tells you on the dash when you powerup which driver position is being used.
Don't feel bad about the Fisker. You took a risk which is commendable. Many folks told us not to buy a Rivian because they were new in 2022 but we did and its been great.
@@Aslash304 Oooh so that's why. I met an engineer (who bought a house with solar panels already installed in Winston-Salem North Carolina). This engineer had never owned an EV. He wanted to buy a Toyota Bz4X, an Acura ZDX or a Prologue. I said those were the worse 3 EVs he could buy and that made him sad so I said you know what? Do what makes you happy. The engineer said he was a Honda and Toyota guy. I said just do the research and buy what you want.
Honda is starting to sell the Prologue in some numbers because they're being discounted pretty heavily and people are leasing. Honda & Toyota sell quite a few hybrids. Given that every legacy manufacturer has backed off their EV plans due to 'market issues', Honda & Toyota are probably feeling pretty smug right now.
The thing that was super intriguing about the Ocean was how unique it was/is. It isn't like anything else, that was the attraction. Guys like me who own unique cars, 92 BMW 850i, Delorean, BMW i3, we like things that you don't see everyday. I would never buy a Tesla as I see 2-3 every mile in Scottsdale, AZ. So, that's where my head and car cash is at.
I’m certain there’s an action the dealer needs to take, and they did not take it. I can’t accept the terms in an email I didn’t receive. I bought mine May 8th, it was one of the first 600, this could have also been part of it.

I'm on the West coast and got the Blazer EV because they took my Fisker Ocean in trade and gave me a deal I couldn't refuse, just the day before the Note holder called Fisker's loan.
Sounds like you got a pretty good deal getting out, especially compared to others. I’ll see if I can track down a Blazer EV and look side by side. I know there are changes for ‘25. I appreciate you sharing your story. And thanks a lot for watching!
I haven’t finished watching all of this video - but bless you for the Slow Res Chart - I’ve been trying to get my head around 800v architecture EV and the limitations with different charger stalls for the duration I’ve had my GV60 RWD nearly 2 years and you with your Slow Res Chart have finally made it all make sense. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the kind words. It’s boring, but valuable information.
Have you done a "full on" range test video yet? I can't find any for the prologue by any youtuber?
Unfortunately, I purchased this car, and intend to own it. Because of that, I won’t run the battery to zero. I’ll be more than happy to do a range test for my next video. But I’ll do a mathematical calculation based on a 90% drain ( 100-10% ) because running a battery to zero is really not good for the battery. Look for it soon
Also, the Cadillac Optiq is on the Equinox frame. The Lyriq is same as Blazer and Prologue.
Thanks for this!
thanks
Thanks for watching!
With level 1 charging- once connected you can change from 8A to 12A in charge settings. It makes 110v charging at least slightly tolerable.
I’ll look into this. Much appreciated
Great discussion on the Prologue. Can you discuss reliability in light of the General Motors problems with this platform in their Blazer.
Would you recommend leasing the Prologue as a hedge against reliability, service availability and long term durability problems?
I understand Honda is abandoning its relationship with General Motors and this car in 2025.
Thank you.
I test drove a Prologue yesterday; liked it but have concerns.
If you can get a good deal on a lease, then that’s something to consider. The software issues that resulted in a stop sale of the Blazer have been fixed. Finally, if you’re concerned about reliability, don’t buy any 1st generation car.
Yup
The SiriusXM 90 day free trial has nothing to do with OnStar. All cars sold new or used with XM radio capabilities get the free trial.
The notifications didn’t start until I accepted the OnStar terms. Why didn’t the trial notifications happen before I accepted the OnStar terms?
@@Aslash304 On the lot before a car is even sold, the Sirius XM trial is active. I don't believe there's any connection between Sirius and OnStar.
I saw a honda prolong on side of the road in flagstaff. Hazards on. No flat tire visible
Cancel it. It’s over
Question for you: do you use the onboard WiFi while driving or sitting at a charge station?
I have not used it. I have unlimited data plans on my phones
What I can’t seem to find out is if it come with a heated steering wheel? Or is that on just the Elite trim? I can’t seem to find anything about it which makes me worried that it’s not even an option!
My Touring Model does not have heated steering wheel. It would be Elite only.
I can confirm that the heated steering wheel is only on the Elite.
A long one - but content warranted it. Really appreciated. Highly informative video and your constant change of tempo and use of graphics makes viewing easy. Nice job.
I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks so much for watching!
@@Aslash304The effort you put into all your videos short or long is hugely appreciated and I’m sure we don’t fully realise the commitment it takes. Informative and entertaining - simply stellar. Thanks.
150kW is plenty to charge on a road trip
Agree
Chantilly Honda had a lease deal this weekend with $279 a month. 10k miles a year. zero down.
What trims/colors?
@@Aslash304 I got the pacific blue touring with AWD. Contact Jacob at the Chantilly Honda. He can give you their inventory. The deal ends today.
@@Aslash304 You would have to check with them for a current inventory. Its the Chantilly Honda in Virginia. I am not a salesman or an employee.
28:01 that’s where I got my CR-V Hybrid. Disappointed in it unfortunately.
Sorry to hear this. There are lots of deals on used EVs. I’ll do a video soon
DJ Khalid?
Really?
Who is DJ Khalid?
So glad I stuck with my Honda CRV sport touring hybrid instead of going with the Prologue. I LOVE the way it looks but hate all the bads you mentioned, many of which (No lane centering and wonky memory seats) are real deal breakers. Also Piano black is a huge nono in interior design.
Thanks for the feedback. Despite all the bads, the Prologue doesn’t use gas.
@@Aslash304 This is true. The moment Honda makes a completely Honda SUV in jumping in! In the meantime, if I wanted a GM product I'd just go with the Lyriq.
@@GetToThePointAlready understandable
I just switched from a CRV Hybrid Touring to the Prologue Elite and the only issue that bugs me is the lack of LKAS... but I'm willing to live with it because of all the other benefits. Seat memory works just fine on my Prologue.
@@HondaHarold Lane keep assist is right beside the parking brake, and works almost exactly the same as the Honda CRV
You need to hold down Seat Memory button to make the seats move.
I will try this
Yes. But it IS a software glitch because it’s supposed to be automatic based on key fob. Says so right in manual.
The fob isn't printed with a number on it, but there is a 1 and 2 fob. My memory started working when I programmed my position for both fobs... so try that. It tells you on the dash when you powerup which driver position is being used.
The battery sucks
Thanks for your feedback
You rushed to get your first sport ev from fisker and rushed to get unproven gm based honda. But it's your money.
He is buying these cars so we don’t have to !
I bought this vehicle because the Honda dealer took my trade on the Fisker.
Don't feel bad about the Fisker. You took a risk which is commendable. Many folks told us not to buy a Rivian because they were new in 2022 but we did and its been great.
@@Aslash304 Oooh so that's why. I met an engineer (who bought a house with solar panels already installed in Winston-Salem North Carolina). This engineer had never owned an EV. He wanted to buy a Toyota Bz4X, an Acura ZDX or a Prologue. I said those were the worse 3 EVs he could buy and that made him sad so I said you know what? Do what makes you happy. The engineer said he was a Honda and Toyota guy. I said just do the research and buy what you want.
Honda is starting to sell the Prologue in some numbers because they're being discounted pretty heavily and people are leasing.
Honda & Toyota sell quite a few hybrids. Given that every legacy manufacturer has backed off their EV plans due to 'market issues', Honda & Toyota are probably feeling pretty smug right now.
I went to the store and they only had the milk with the red cap. Headline reads: Blue Cap Milk takes sales dive.
The thing that was super intriguing about the Ocean was how unique it was/is. It isn't like anything else, that was the attraction. Guys like me who own unique cars, 92 BMW 850i, Delorean, BMW i3, we like things that you don't see everyday. I would never buy a Tesla as I see 2-3 every mile in Scottsdale, AZ. So, that's where my head and car cash is at.
Thanks for the feedback
1:57 mine took 5 minutes max LOL
I’m certain there’s an action the dealer needs to take, and they did not take it. I can’t accept the terms in an email I didn’t receive. I bought mine May 8th, it was one of the first 600, this could have also been part of it.
@@Aslash304 I suppose so, probably took some time getting issues fixed.
are you serious? happy with ev? :)
Yes. My channel is an EV channel. There are plenty of channels that are not.
