On the used-car market, the Honda Prologue has dropped into a different price class. Low-mileage examples are showing up for well under half of the electric SUV's original cost of nearly $60,000.
That shift could put a roomy, modern electric vehicle with more than 270 miles of range within reach for many more people.
Here's what to know
YouTube content creator Andrew Lambrecht of electric vehicle dealer channel Ever (@evercarsofficial) reviewed the vehicle. Used 2026 EX trims are priced just under $25,000, with Tourings a little above $25,000 and Elites around $30,000. Since the model started at roughly $49,000 to $59,000, the depreciation has been dramatic.
The EX comes with heated cloth seating, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 19-inch wheels, and adaptive cruise control, while the Touring adds leather, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a panoramic moonroof, and a power liftgate.
Every Prologue has an 85-kilowatt-hour battery, and EPA range varies from 273 to 308 miles depending on trim and model year. Peak direct-current fast charging is 150 kilowatts, with a 10% to 80% session taking about 40 minutes.
At the top of the lineup, the Elite includes standard all-wheel drive with 21-inch wheels, a head-up display, a surround-view camera, and ventilated front seats.

More background
When the Prologue went on sale in early 2024, it became Honda's first electric SUV for the U.S. market, and ran on General Motors' Ultium platform. Honda handled the design work in Los Angeles, while GM built the vehicle in Mexico. In July 2026, Honda said production would end in December 2026, limiting the Prologue to roughly three model years.
Sales lagged far behind the segment leader. Lambrecht said Honda sold about 39,000 Prologues in the U.S. in 2025, compared with roughly 357,000 Tesla Model Y vehicles over the same span. He characterized the Prologue as a capable EV, but not a standout.
Inside, the Prologue emphasizes usable space and familiar operation, with a flat rear floor, solid rear-seat legroom, 25.2 cubic feet of cargo room, and controls that do not rely entirely on a screen.
For shoppers considering making their next car an EV, a used Prologue could also mean lower running costs, since EVs typically save drivers money on fuel and reduce routine maintenance compared with gas models.
What can be done?
Buyers who want the most range should focus on front-wheel-drive EX and Touring versions, while the Elite sacrifices some efficiency for all-wheel drive and more features. Lambrecht also said shoppers who are hesitant about a first-year 2024 model can look at 2025 Prologues, which are starting to come off lease at only a modest premium.
For more cautious shoppers, the remaining warranty could be part of the appeal. Lambrecht said the Prologue carries three years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage, five years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, and eight years or 100,000 miles for the battery.
Buyers who consider lane centering essential may want to keep looking, because no Prologue trim offers it.
For Lambrecht, the main takeaway was this: "This was a $50,000 car that now costs less than $25,000 with low miles."
Where can I learn more?
The Prologue's resale slide also says something about Honda's broader EV push in the U.S., which stalled out after some early success.
• Honda's first EV became a top-selling model in the U.S. as electric-SUV demand climbed.
• Honda's Prologue turned into a surprise hit as shoppers scrambled for practical electric SUVs.
