2024 Honda Prologue Crash Test and Safety Rating

Honda’s latest electric utility vehicle, the Prologue, has made its way through testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), offering a mixed bag of results. Built on General Motors’ BEV3 platform with General Motors battery technology, the Prologue shares its foundation with the Acura ZDX. Though it performed well in certain areas, a few challenges kept it from earning a Top Safety Pick award.

While the Prologue scored well in side impact and moderate overlap front crash tests, its performance in the small overlap front crash test left room for improvement. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety observed that in this specific test, the head of the front passenger dummy moved into the space between the frontal and side curtain airbags, exposing a potential risk of impact with the A-pillar. Due to this, the IIHS rated it marginal for front passenger restraints and dummy movement.

For those keeping safety top of mind, the Prologue’s front crash prevention system received an acceptable rating in scenarios involving pedestrians, adding some reassurance. However, its projector-style LED headlights were noted for low beam glare and limited left-side visibility with high beams. Despite these points, the Prologue offers solid utility. Starting at forty-seven thousand four hundred dollars, it provides an accessible entry to Honda’s electric vehicle lineup. It also delivers up to two hundred ninety-six miles of range with front-wheel drive, making it a practical option for longer trips. Honda’s first step into a General Motors-powered electric vehicle is promising, but with room to grow.
