- A new report alleges that Honda will end production of the Prologue in December.
- Honda said the report was ‘purely based on speculation.’
- The Prologue uses General Motors’ Ultium platform which is shared with the Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq.
Honda is in a tough spot with its EVs. While the company recently announced it would discontinue three electric vehicles already in development—including the recently introduced Acura RSX—now there are rumors that Honda might discontinue the Prologue as well.
According to Automated Forecasting Solutionsas originally reported by Automotive News, Honda will end production of the Prologue SUV in December. The Prologue, as you may remember, was based on GM’s Ultium platform, which also underpinned the now-discontinued Acura ZDX and several Chevrolet models.
When asked for comment, Honda denied these rumors. A company spokesperson said Motor1“That Automotive News This article is based purely on speculation. Prologue remains in our lineup.”
Nonetheless, we remain skeptical. As of February, Honda had only sold 1,731 Prologues, down 74.6 percent compared to the same period last year. In September 2025, the United States ended federal incentives for electric vehicles, resulting in a near-term decline in sales of electric vehicle models.
The Honda Prologue is an electric crossover co-developed with General Motors, which supplies the platform and builds Honda at its facilities in Mexico along with the Chevrolet Blazer EV. The Prologue goes on sale in 2024, with the automaker selling 39,194 units in the crossover’s first full year of sales in 2025.
Honda Motor Company shut down the Acura ZDX in September, which shares a platform with the Prologue, citing “market conditions” for the decision to halt production. North American buyers didn’t flock to electric vehicles as automakers expected, and now they’re correcting.
Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis all reported big losses related to their EV efforts. Honda will do the same and expects to post a loss of nearly $16 billion. Just yesterday, Honda discontinued three EVs before they even went on sale—the Acura RSX and 0 SUVs and 0 Wedge-shaped Honda Sedans.

Motorcycle Pickup1: It wouldn’t be surprising if other electric vehicles would stop production soon. The market in North America has slumped since those incentives were eliminated, and now automakers, including Honda, are shifting resources to hybrid vehicles.
