Recently, Honda released the first sketch previewing the design of the all-new Prologue full-electric SUV set to launch in 2024.  Honda has a bold objective of 500,000 electrified vehicle sales by 2030 and in order to reach that ambitious number, they're preparing to offer a wide range of new electrified vehicles including the 2024 Honda Prologue electric SUV.

 


Promising to be both practical and spacious, the Honda Prologue will be a fully electric crossover designed to meet and exceed the needs of both EV buyers and families. The first Honda model designed primarily through virtual reality visualization technology, Prologue styling suggests an adventure-ready SUV capable of satisfying everyday driving and weekend getaways with a strong hint of the well-received Honda e in the front fascia.

Drivers are eagerly awaiting hybrid versions of popular Hondas like the upcoming hybrid versions of the CR-V and the perennial Canadian favourite: the 11th generation Honda Civic.  Ultimately, Honda plans to offer a wide range of new electric vehicles which will be built on a brand-new platform set to be introduced after the Prologue. This platform will create a starting point for a wide range of new Honda electric vehicles that are coming in the next few years.


Arriving for the 2023 model year, the All-New CR-V will include a hybrid version and a Canadian first. 


“The Prologue is Honda’s first electric vehicle in Canada and is the result of a strategic North American plan announced 2 years ago that includes a collaboration with GM to produce EVs in a more efficient manner,” said Steve Hui, Vice President, Honda Canada. “The Prologue signifies our transition to electrification, with more Honda-engineered and manufactured EVs in North America coming in 2026. Our Canadian dealers are excited to see it come to their showrooms.”

Toward its global goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, Honda will introduce 30 new EVs globally by 2030, with a volume of 2 million units. In North America, Honda has laid out an aggressive timeline of EV introductions based on three phases leading to 2030:

  • 2024: Begin sales of the Honda Prologue, co-developed with GM
  • 2026: Begin production and sales of Honda models based on the new Honda e: Architecture.  
  • 2027: Begin production and sales of a new series of affordable EVs, based on a new vehicle architecture co-developed with GM.
