What's the Prologue's competition?

I'd have thought it'd be the Tesla Model Y, but listed prices for the Prologue at dealers is about ten grand more than the equivalent Model Y.

Does the Prologue have an MSRP disadvantage, or is does the vehicle exist only to provide an alternative to other Ultium vehicles (Blazer and Equinox)?

 

This couldn't be posted in the existing EV thread because...?

 

Just happened to notice that a forum had been created?

Why are you here?

 

Oh I wandered in from the new post list not looking where I was going. Back to your q&a in the empty theater.

 

While taking my ridgeline in to get the software updated, i glanced at the prologue. It was nice, but not nice enough for me to move over to the EV train. I still dont trust the longevity of all the electronics. I see alot of failures in my industry

 

Too much GM in that interior for me. That blue color on a touring sure looks sharp.

I am already EV and loving it.

 

What are you driving, if you don't mind?

The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX are the only Ultium Hondas that will ever exist. Honda has already sold its share of the Ultium company, although I'm not sure how all that worked out for them.

GM, LG and Honda were the three partners in the Ultium project.

 

Audi e-tron, the SUV. Amazing machine.

With the way EVs are deprecating I will probably be picking up a Taycan here soon.

 

:-). That could very well be.

We might've been spoiled by recent market conditions. When I traded my Chevy Bolt after driving it for three years, I got within a couple hundred dollars of what I paid for it.

Those days are gone.

 

they are *super* cheap with all the EV incentives, esp on leases...

not a bad car to lease to get yourself unburied if you are deep into a car and you need a car...

 

Obviously the direct competition is the Blazer EV since it's the same car.

I think they should be super negotiable as the take rate appears to be pretty low, and dealers are probably hot to unload as many as possible before the incoming administration s-cans all of the great EV incentives. Corporate H is leaning on senior employees quite heavily to take them as their manager cars right now. As for the car itself. rides and drives too much like a GM car for me (heavy, cush, and lazy) but if you want a highway cruiser that's probably just fine.

My local dealer has a gaggle of them lined up across the front and the entire lobby full of them save for one FL5.

If you get one, it's gotta be that blue or bust!

 

Same here, Honda lots are packed full of prologues.

But it's not just Honda. GM across the street has 70+ EVs sitting including a dozen Hummers.

 

Prologue is selling very well.

I hope it doesn’t lose Honda factory support as the years go by.

 

the chevy equinox lt would be the direct competition seeing as they share parts and whatnot.

 

The Prologue is more Blazer EV than Equinox EV, although all three are close.

The Equinox and Blazer overlap quite a bit with the sticker price.

Something I've noticed is that there are now quite a few Prologues around, and the sales price and leasing contracts are very aggressive and consumer friendly.

I've been keeping my eyes on complaints and what I'm seeing is disappointing.

There are all kinds of problems showing up involving the front suspension. Major components have to be replaced sometimes, and it can take weeks or even months to get the parts from GM.

"HondaLink" (OnStar) gets a lot of complaints. It's hard to tell if this is because these are Honda users who aren't familiar with OnStar, but the complaints are rolling in.

On the other hand, people think the Prologue looks better than the Blazer and Equinox, the Honda parts of the software are better, they like the dash design better, and they certainly like being able to have CarPlay.
