Honda has released a sketch of its upcoming fully electric SUV, to be called Prologue<\/a> and arriving in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Honda points to the smooth design as representing \u201cthe clean, simple and timeless values of the global Honda design direction, together with a long wheelbase, shorter overhang and strong stance outfitted with a capable tire.\u201d It notes that the mid-size electric SUV was designed in Los Angeles in collaboration with a team in Japan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>With the perspective of the rendering shown a bit distorted, it\u2019s difficult to trace the Prologue\u2019s profile. Slimmer headlamps wrap into the beltline, and while Honda notes a strong hint of the Honda e small electric hatchback in front, we\u2019re not seeing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s working with dealers on \u201ca tiered approach\u201d for updating them for EV sales, based on the potential EV sales in local markets. It\u2019s not clear whether that refers only to how it prepares its dealers, or whether it means it will only offer EVs in states where it might see an advantage. The company plans to sell 500,000 EVs in the U.S. by 2030.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/strong>The Prologue will be based on GM\u2019s Ultium electric vehicle platform<\/a>, providing large-format pouch cells, a wireless battery management system, a suite of GM-designed motors, and heat-pump technology<\/a>. GM will assemble the Prologue and an upcoming Acura electric SUV<\/a>.\u00a0The Acura is expected to be assembled in Spring Hill, Tennessee, alongside the Cadillac Lyriq<\/a>, but the companies haven\u2019t yet announced a location for the Prologue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Honda calls the Prologue its \u201cfirst volume Honda EV,\u201d and notes that Honda-engineered EVs will start arriving in North America in 2026. In West Coast states Honda previously sold the\u00a0Fit EV<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0Clarity Electric<\/a>\u00a0models, as well as the Clarity Plug-In Hybrid and Accord Plug-In Hybrid.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Separately, Honda plans to start production and sales on a new series of affordable EVs co-developed with GM<\/a> in 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
