Honda Prologue Is Likely to End Production This Year

  • Honda's Prologue SUV is likely ending production in 2026 after sales dropped 76% when EV tax credits expired, with just 17,900 units expected for the year.

On the heels of Honda's announcement that it is canceling development of its 0 Series SUV, 0 Series Saloon, and Acura RSX EVs, Honda is expected to end production of the electric Prologue SUV at the end of this year.

Initial production of the Prologue had strong sales with Honda moving 39,000 units in 2025. However, with the expiration of the $7,500 tax credit at the hands of the Trump administration, sales tumbled 76 percent.

The Prologue is a joint-venture built with General Motors at GM's plant in Mexico. Honda has already slashed production of the Prologue and now expects to sell only 17,900 units for 2026. The Acura ZDX, another GM joint venture EV model was canceled late in 2025.

Honda's electric vehicle restructuring could cost Honda up to $15.8 billion.

This is disappointing. I really like the looks of the Prologue compared to its GM counterparts.

I am keeping an on eye on local ones because they've depreciated so damn much. I'd love to get into one of these. I need to get to my closest Honda dealership to test drive one.

Short sighted vision, GM incurred costs to stop / slow down EV production not because it was costing them money as they were at a breakeven point. 

Honda was smart to team up with GM and could move forward, but again short-sighted view makes me think Honda Automotive is not long for staying independent in this new era.

Costco is offering MASSIVE deals on Prologues right now, like $17,000 off plus cheap leasing.

I've seen many in the 23-27k range and they only have like 15-20k miles on them. It's hard to believe Costco pricing beats that.

Sure, but those are used, I’m talking new.

Obviously. I'm also sure the lease mileage wouldn't fit my needs either.

Oh, if you're talking for yourself try and find a ZDX. Slightly more range, nicer interior, slightly bigger, more powerful.  Based on the Blazer / Lyriq instead of Equinox.  Just harder to find.

The Prologue is a sibling to the Blazer, not the Equinox.

you're right. I get that confused because the Prologue has the motors/power/battery of the Equinox but is more structurally similar to the Blazer.  My point about the ZDX stands though, I see a few of them out there in the high $27k range. I think you'd be more satisfied with the ZDX than the Prologue at similar pricing like that.

The base FWD and non-SS AWD are also the same as the Prologue, battery and motors. The Prologue just doesn't get the RWD-only RS or AWD SS. 

I'd be perfectly fine with a ZDX, but there are none within 200 miles of me... Of course.

Dang, there are no ZDX within 200 miles of me and when I jump to 300 miles, they're more like 34-40k still... 

Do you guys have a link to read more on this Costco discount?

I don't see it on the website @G. David Felt linked, but they have a Prologue out in front of my costco with the deal posted on it. I'll see if I can get a pic.

Maybe because I'm not a Costco member, but that link didn't show any Hondas. It showed deals on Volvos, Polestars, and the Silverado EV. Also, nowhere close to 17k. The best deal was 2k off for the EX90 and only for executive members. 

Ideally, I'd love the press release green/blue. I'd settle for the other blue or red and would really not want silver, white or black. If I'm being honest though, I'm sure I'd still buy silver, white or black for the right price. Okay, maybe not black. I don't want to deal with a black color and trying to keep it clean. I've had one black car and that was enough to experience the hatred for attempting to keep it clean.

Albert went to Costco this morning and I asked him to get a pic.  This is the very top trim Prologue, but lower trims should be similar.

I am also thinking that maybe not everything shows up as they look at the region your in and what offers are there.

PNW with hitting 30% of new car sales are EVs I think has a much higher support for EV sales and discounts.
