Per previous GM Authority coverage, General Motors and Honda have been collaborating to develop several new all-electric vehicles, including the 2024 Honda Prologue and 2024 Acura ZDX. In the past, we’ve captured a Prologue prototype testing out in the wild, and today, GM Authority spy photographers came across another mostly undisguised Prologue unit.
This parked grey unit appears to be largely production-spec, albeit missing some key badging. More notably, we’re able to see a photo of the interior of this upcoming EV, which appears to mesh together both Honda and GM design cues. However, the Prologue will feature Honda’s infotainment system and, unlike the Blazer EV, offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
For those who may be unaware, here’s a breakdown on the Honda Prologue. Heavily based on the upcoming 2024 Chevy Blazer EV, this by-product of the GM-Honda collaboration is likely to be more of a badge-engineered vehicle than a fully-fledged Honda design that shares GM’s electric vehicle architecture. In fact, judging from the photos we’ve captured so far, it appears as though the Prologue will feature similar exterior dimensions to the Blazer EV, although with adjustments made to follow Honda’s corporate design language.
In regard to drivetrain configurations, the Prologue is likely to feature either a FWD or AWD layout. Meanwhile, the Chevy Blazer EV will be offered in FWD, RWD and AWD configurations.
As a reminder, GM announced an investment of over $1 billion USD in the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico back in April 2021 to re-tool the facility for EV production, which includes the likes of the Blazer EV. With that in mind, production of the Honda Prologue is anticipated to take place at the same plant, while the Ultium-based crossover is expected to launch in Winter 2024.
Under the skin, the Prologue shares its structure with the Blazer EV, and will ride on the GM BEV3 platform. Motivation is derived from GM Ultium batteries and GM Ultium Drive motors.

Wow. They lifted that interior straight from GM.
That looks better than the Acura version IMO, but not as good as the upcoming Chevy Blazer EV that’s around the same size. All probably have a nicer interior than the Model Y Tesla.
I would drive this if it linked up to the Tesla superchargers.
I love how the EV chassis lets the designers give these vehicles nice proportions. This might be the first mainstream Honda product since the legend to offer an attractive dash to axle ratio.
Hope it has a FRUNK….I just don’t get why the Lyric doesn’t have one. Or why they spelled it Lyriq.
Look again. With that exception of some switchgear pieces and the steering wheel (likely for compatibility with Super-cruise) , this is very much a modern Honda interior.
GM & Honda did good job giving this vehicle its own identity inside and out.
Hello, I have a 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 crew cab, I was wondering if there is a way to connect my I pod on apple play. I tried to do it but it won’t let me do it. Is there anything that GM can do about this matter.
Holy cow. How on earth they made the interior even more ugly than the Chevy version is beyond me. The outside is going to blend into the rest of the bland and boring SUV’s very well. But that inside is terrible.
Nice looking, now if only it had a gas engine….
No room, look at how small the back end is. What makes the model y popular is that it’s very functional. Has a lot of room for its size. Like a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4. But they’re not going to canabolize those models yet. That’s why Honda is in bed with GM. The reason why some of the other entries do not have frunks as they are Band-Aid products using traditional layouts with electric drivetrains versus full-on EV from the ground up.
