Honda today offered the first look at the exterior and interior styling of the all-new Honda Prologue battery-electric SUV that will come to market in North America in 2024. It is the first full electric Honda SUV designed at the Honda Design Studio in Los Angeles.

The Prologue comes slots in above the CR-V in the lineup, where it will be positioned alongside the Passport. The SUV's wheelbase will be a whopping 121.8 inches (3,094 millimeters), made possible by the Ultium platform developed by General Motors. The extra legroom afforded by the increased distance between the front and rear wheels will be appreciated by all passengers. 

The Prologue has a "neo-rugged" design that is both stylish and practical. It comes in the North Shore Pearl color, which is exclusive to the new model. The tailgate has HONDA lettering in large letters, thus ignoring the old H logo. The "Elite" badge on the back probably refers to the trim level, and "AWD" most likely means that the vehicle has a dual-motor setup.

"Our goal was to create a clean harmony based on a rugged SUV image by coordinating the colors and materials to express neo-rugged design styling that's familiar to our customers and uniquely Honda," said Masaki Sumimoto, design lead for the Color, Materials and Finish.

The interior has two large screens, as is popular in many current vehicles. The instrument cluster is entirely digital and measures 11 inches. Although the touchscreen on the infotainment system has gotten a little bigger, at 11.3 inches, it hasn't swallowed up the climate controls because Honda still installs physical buttons and knobs for the HVAC.

More details on the Prologue will be released in the coming months. Honda hasn't revealed pricing or trim levels for the Prologue yet, but we anticipate it will start around $45,000.
