Besides the Civic Type R, Honda’s range of vehicles is endowed with restrained, classy styling that won’t alienate brand loyalists, and the Prologue is another example of this approach. The days of quirkily styled electrified models, such as the previous Clarity, are gone.
The Prologue has squared-off proportions – referred to by Honda as neo-rugged styling – and a touch of Range Rover Evoque, which is no bad thing. 21-inch wheels are available, the largest ever offered on a Honda, and details like the stylized typeface of the Honda name make it known that this is one of the brand’s newest cars.
Inside, the Prologue is typically Honda, with a carefully considered mix of traditional controls and digital interfaces. An 11-inch gauge cluster and 11.3-inch touchscreen have all the requisite connectivity features, but it also looks like a cabin that doesn’t have a frustratingly steep learning curve. Classy leather upholstery on upper trims adds a touch of luxury.
Anyone coming from a Passport or CR-V is likely to find the Prologue’s design agreeable.
