- The Honda Prologue is dead after the 2026 model year.
- Move follows the death of the similar Acura ZDX in 2025.
- Model was American Honda’s last BEV in the United States.
Honda had high hopes for electric vehicles, so they invested billions in an assortment of different models. Since their own in-house vehicles were a ways off, the company teamed up with General Motors to get the Prologue and ZDX to market.
Both were essentially restyled versions of the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq. However, they didn’t get a welcome reception.

While the Prologue proved relatively popular, the ZDX landed with a thud and was killed off in 2025. Since then, the company has axed the 0 Sedan, 0 SUV, and Acura RSX as well as the entire Sony Honda Mobility brand.
Given the grim turn of events, it’s not surprising to learn the Prologue is the latest casualty. In a statement to Carbuzz, the automaker said “Honda will conclude sales of Prologue later this year following completion of the 2026 model year. Prologue customers will continue to receive full support through our dealer network, including service, parts, and warranty coverage.”
Last year, Prologue sales in the United States were up 19.1% to 39,194 units. This was likely driven by a mad dash to secure the federal tax credit before it was eliminated. Unsurprisingly, after it was phased out, sales plummeted and a mere 932 crossovers were sold in December for an 88.6% decline.
2026 has also proven to be a rough year as dealers have only sold 8,407 EVs in the first six months of the year. That’s down 48.5% and equates to around 1,400 per month.
The drastic decline meant the Prologue was American Honda’s second-slowest selling vehicle behind the Prelude. Sales were so low, the electric crossover was outsold by every single Acura still in production including the soon to be discontinued RDX.
