ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Honda Prologue EV?
The 2024 Honda Prologue EV enters the market with an overall Safety Index score of 87 out of 100, placing it in the Strong band. This initial assessment is particularly notable given it is the first model year for the Prologue EV, leaving no prior data for comparison. A near-perfect crash protection subscore of 66 out of 70 underpins the Prologue EV's strong showing. The vehicle also achieved a full 10 out of 10 for crash-avoidance technology, reflecting the standard inclusion of forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. However, the defect record subscore, at 11 out of 20, clearly impacts the overall Safety Index. This is attributed to three recall campaigns. The most structurally significant of these addresses a manufacturing defect in a front suspension lower control arm. Two additional campaigns concern the rearview camera system, one linked to hardware and the other to software, both affecting a critical backing safety feature. Owner complaints for this inaugural model year are substantial, totaling 790 reports. Of these, 247 unverified allegations pertain to Steering, and 203 to Suspension. The volume of suspension complaints is particularly noteworthy given the active recall for a front suspension component. In crash testing, the 2024 Prologue EV received a 4-star rollover rating, indicating an 11 percent risk. This result is the single factor preventing a clean sweep of top marks in its evaluated crash-test categories.
