The all-electric crossover segment offers two strong contenders by way of the Chevy Blazer EV and Honda Prologue, both of which ride on the GM BEV3 platform and utilize GM’s Ultium powertrain technology. Although the Prologue shares its all-electric DNA with the Blazer EV, there are several compelling reasons why the Chevy Blazer EV emerges as the superior choice for buyers. GM Authority previously covered why you should buy a Honda Prologue rather than a Chevy Blazer EV. Now, we’re covering why you should by a Chevy Blazer EV rather than a Honda Prologue.

First, performance enthusiasts will naturally gravitate toward the Chevy Blazer EV SS model. With a staggering 595 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, this high-performance variant leaves the Honda Prologue with no equivalent. For those who crave power and speed, the Blazer EV SS is the obvious answer.
Infotainment is another area where the Blazer EV shines, offering a massive 17.7-inch touchscreen. By contrast, the Prologue makes do with a smaller 11.3-inch touchscreen.

Speaking of the interior, cabin aesthetics also sets the Blazer EV apart, with Chevy offering a more interesting interior design overall. Meanwhile, the Prologue cabin is functional, but suffers from a bland aesthetic, despite three colorway options.
The Chevy Blazer EV also offers more drivetrain options, including front-wheel drive (FWD), rear-wheel drive (RWD), and all-wheel drive (AWD) variants, providing buyers with greater flexibility to suit their needs. The Prologue, on the other hand, lacks a sporty RWD variant, limiting its appeal.
Finally, the Blazer EV delivers more miles when it matters, with the RWD RS model, equipped with a 102-kWh battery pack, offering a longer max range (334 miles) than the Prologue’s 85-kWh pack (296 miles).
Of course, not everyone has the same priorities when it comes to their EV. Which leads us to ask – which would you rather have?

For EV cliffjumpers, the market is already speaking pretty plainly: they prefer the Prologue. One glaring reason is design. The Prologue is a much tidier, more normal looking vehicle, inside and out, v. the overwrought, ridiculous Blazer. The Prologue design draws ppl in, where the Blazer puts them off at first sight. “Clean” design made GM the undisputed industry leader in style trends when Harley Earl was at the helm, from the 1930s-70s with Bill Mitchell at the top. These EV siblings drive another nail in that coffin. It’s Honda’s “Keep It Simple” mantra that sings loudest.
A real question, when it comes to design: which of these two would you rather spend a Saturday cleaning, inside and out? The smoooooth Honda, or the Blazer EV, with more nooks and crannies than a Thomas’ English Muffin?
Also, with drive configurations, ppl generally aren’t going to care that much about RWD, FWD or AWD choices. And gearheads who MIGHT consider drive wheels aren’t into EV. Two configs, per the Honda, are perfectly sufficient.
The Honda wins this contest, hands-down, as much as it may hurt the feelings of GM adherents. Prologue selling at nearly double the rate of the Blazer is the proof.
How did you come up with all those claims? OPINION or solid data to back it up. The Prologue is a redesigned Blazer, so it’s a GM vehicle. Most folks look at the badge logo. Reverse those badges, and opinions would reverse as well. Design is subjective. Whatever you think doesn’t mean anything. Prologue is also cheaper, so it will naturally draw more interest.
Chevy interior design beats the Honda’s stand up screens by a long way.
Why not just write one compare and contrast article to show similarities and differences between the two vehicles?
Buy what you want. Don’t listen to unknowledgeable individuals.
Why do I get the feeling I’m comparing Chevy and GMC rather than Chevy and Honda? Badge engineering rears its ugly head once more. I suspect, however, Honda will get the nod because of its (perceived) quality image when it comes to putting your money down…
It’s amazing how some of the switch gear, display, steering wheel, etc in the Honda look like the same stuff in the 2023 Colorado we have at work.
I read somewhere that the Prologue was designed by Honda engineers working with GM parts in the US GM design labs. I have not seen the inside myself, but it ended up with GM switchgear as a result.
Wile I dont like car-play many seem to not be able to use the same apps in the GM system because they are too lazy to put in there passwords etc. I just offer car play and be done with it as people need have cell phone addictions.
Didn’t you guys just post an article yesterday or the day before touting why the Honda was a better vehicle than the Blazer? Good grief, this place has gone to crap.
They literally said that and explained everyone is different, each article covers the good of each one but not everyone wants the same thing.
I prefer the look of the Honda. It also looks smaller where as the Blaser looks much bigger but that could just be the pictures
I’m tired of ugly monotone interior design
I like that red interior of the Blazer
And I like the screen on the Blazer. I hate a screen that looks like it’s a cheap add on leaning against the dash.
I personally bought a Blazer EV RS AWD, I find it more appealing than the Prologue, but as always it all depends on your tastes. I find the design more aggressive and the reaction from bystanders confirm the design is a looker. When you have very similar designs with very similar technology the design makes all the difference. I believe the Honda name is tilting the balance on almost the same car. Also Honda has been advertising a lot more than the Blazer, chevy is putting all their marbles behind the Equinox EV. So far I’m super happy with my Blazer EV. Just compare them side by side and forget the pre conception , there more similar than different. And please get over the car play and android debacle. I don’t miss it one bit, the native system does everything I need.
The Prologue pffers Android Auto & Carplay, the Blazer does not. For AA users this isn’t a huge deal since that person simply needs to log in to their Google account to access most of the same features/histories. For a Carplay used there are more limitations.
On the other hand the Prologue dues not offer a digital rear view mirror. With that tiny rear window you learn to appreciate the digital RVM. Blazer EV will offer Supercruise where I don’t thing the Prologue will.
