The Honda Prologue serves as the Japanese automaker’s first all-electric utility vehicle, sharing its platform, battery technology, and motor systems with the Chevy Blazer EV. Both vehicles ride on the GM BEV3 platform, and both utilize a GM Ultium powertrain. The two crossovers are even assembled side-by-side at GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico. Despite all this, the Honda Prologue offers a number of distinct advantages that could make it the more attractive choice compared to the Chevy Blazer EV.
First, the Prologue includes standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, popular features which GM has opted to phase out from new vehicles – including the Blazer EV. Meanwhile, the Prologue includes both systems as standard across all trim levels, ensuring seamless smartphone integration.
The Prologue may also be more reliable, as, thus far at least, the Prologue has avoided the early software and battery drain issues that have plagued some Blazer EV owners.
Honda also appears to be more aggressive when it comes incentives. Currently, Honda offers zero percent financing (similar to promotions available for the 2024 Blazer EV) as well as attractive lease terms. Notably, Prologue sales outpaced the Blazer EV in Q3 of 2024, with 12,644 units delivered compared to the Blazer’s 7,998.
Charging perks are another major consideration. The 2024 Honda Prologue offers several flexible options, including a home charging station with a $500 installation credit and $100 in EVgo credits; a dual-level charge cord with a $250 installation credit and $300 in EVgo credits; or a $750 EVgo credit. While the 2024 Blazer EV does include a dual-level charge cord, this perk will not carry over to the 2025 model year.
Finally, the Prologue features a conventional charge port door, while the Blazer EV’s motorized charge port door could face durability challenges in colder climates, adding a practical edge for Prologue owners.
Indeed, despite the similarities, the Honda Prologue stands out from the Chevy Blazer EV for a number of reasons. The questions is – which would you rather have?

You buy one first and let us know how it goes…
Neither one.
The Prologue looks better without the cheap black plastic that the Blazer EV has.
No super cruise. No deal.
Why is GM Authority promoting foreign owned brands…???
If this continues I will be unsubscribing…!!!
you subscribe? You already have questionable intelligence.
No EV cars for me. Batteries had too much weight and expensive to replace. Range also a detriment. Sticking with the internal combustion engine.
By law, EV batteries have to be guaranteed for 8 years or replaced with no cost to the owner.
If you think I’m buying a Honda over a Chevy, or any other GM product, your nuts!
I will buy an EV when they make one that does not record everywhere you go and everything you say and do. They have the potential to be so simple but the just pile additional electronics on them. An electrically controlled charging port door has to be one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of on an EV. Honestly, why would you even have to lock if it does not have charge sharing or access to the cars programming?
You know that all GM vehicles record everything you are doing, right?
