Most dimensions are going to be quite large, but with only 2 rows. 192" long, a wide 78.3" and a very short 64.7" height. Seems the vaunted Honda packaging abilities will not be in play, possibly due to GM platform constraints. I was thinking CR V, not a lowered midsized utility sized between Passport and Pilot. Anything to do with GM was strike one for me, these dimensions are strike two. Looks are ok, now let's see how it drives.
 
Some carmakers have consciously given their EVs a distinct look. Honda seems to think the way to get its customers to go electric is to make its first EV look indistinguishable from any other Honda crossover. We'll see.
 
The 2024 Prologue AWD is equipped with two electric motors that deliver 288 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque. These motors are powered by an 85 kWh battery.

A comparison of the similar EVs coming off GM's assembly line in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico:
Prologue EX FWD 85 kWh battery 296-mi EPA range $48,795
Blazer EV LT eAWD 85 kWh battery 279-mi EPA range $56,715
Blazer EV RS eAWD 85 kWh battery 279-mi EPA range $60,215
Blazer EV RS RWD 102 kWh battery 324-mi EPA range $61,790

How does the Prologue exceed the range of the more expensive Chevy's Blazer EVs with the same battery?

I would expect the increase in range over the AWD Blazer trims with the same pack given the single motor FWD Prologue.
