Honda has confirmed it will end production of the electric Prologue SUV after the 2026 model year. The Prologue, introduced in 2024 and based on the Chevrolet Blazer EV, saw a sharp drop in sales in 2026 and will leave Honda without any electric vehicles (EVs) in the U.S. market starting next year.
Prologue Sales and Market Performance
The Prologue sold just over 80,000 units in the U.S. since its launch. It started strong with 33,000 sales in 2024 and nearly 39,200 in 2025. However, sales significantly declined in 2026, with only about 8,400 units sold in the first half of the year.
- The removal of the federal EV tax credit played a major role in the drop
- Sales declined by nearly 50% compared to the previous year
- Remaining Prologue units continue to be available at dealerships
End of Honda’s Electric Plans in the U.S.
Honda’s partnership with General Motors led to the Prologue being based on GM’s technology, shared with the Chevrolet Blazer EV and the short-lived Acura ZDX. Honda had planned to replace the Prologue with the 0-series SUV and 0-series Saloon, built on a new platform in Ohio. However, these models have been shelved, leaving Honda without a U.S. electric lineup from 2027 onward.
Honda’s Support for Current Prologue Owners
Despite discontinuing the Prologue, Honda will continue support for existing owners. The company confirmed customers will have access to service, parts, and warranty coverage through its dealer network.
Why It Matters
Honda pulling the plug on the Prologue raises questions about the automaker’s EV strategy in the U.S. With electric vehicles growing in popularity, Honda’s exit from the market leaves a gap just as competitors ramp up their options. Buyers looking for Honda EVs may now need to consider other brands or markets where Honda remains active.
