Did Honda Fix the Blazer EV? - 2024 Honda Prologue
The 2024 Honda Prologue, Honda's take on GM's BEV3 platform. Does it outshine the Blazer EV with its refined interior and tech-savvy features, or is it just a badge-engineered Chevy?
Driving the Prologue felt nearly the same as driving the Blazer EV - huge and heavy. While plenty powerful, this crossover felt nearly as unwieldy as the Blazer EV did, with an inside-out POV that made it difficult to perceive where the corners of the vehicle are, leading to a lack of confidence going around corners or down narrow roads. This effect is not as bad in the Prologue, which I attribute to the more traditional square styling up front, where the Blazer EV has a sloping front end that obscures boundaries for those of us without good depth perception. The Honda still felt wide, but it compensated for this with an impressive turning radius, allowing me to play it safe and make up for it with a tighter turn coming out of a corner. Stopping still feels boaty - the EV stop-n-rock is more pronounced on this platform than any other I've driven.
Thanks to Cape Girardeau Honda for the use of their Honda Prologue for this review.
