The Technology Inside Honda's First Serious EV: Exploring the 2025 Prologue's Infotainment and Driver Assistance Systems
Honda has delivered a genuine electric vehicle contender. The 2025 Honda Prologue Electric SUV represents Honda's answer to Tesla and other market leaders, packed with technology that makes sense for everyday drivers in Florence, SC.
Google Built-In: The Heart of Prologue's Infotainment Experience
The Honda Prologue infotainment system centers around an 11.3-inch touchscreen working alongside an 11-inch digital instrument cluster. Google services are built directly into the vehicle, providing Google Maps, Google Assistant, and Google Play Store without needing your phone connected. This means smoother navigation during trips to downtown Florence or the Pee Dee region.
Seamless Smartphone Integration and Connectivity
HondaLink Connected by OnStar adds remote start, vehicle location tracking, and battery monitoring through your smartphone. The mobile app handles charging schedules and battery level checks. It can also turn your Prologue into a WiFi hotspot.
Honda Sensing: Comprehensive Driver Assistance Technology
Every Prologue includes the Honda Sensing safety driving assist system. The 2025 Honda Prologue's driver assistance uses radar, sonar, and front cameras to help watch the road. It has collision avoidance, lane keeping, and cruise control that work together to make driving around downtown Florence easier.
Advanced Safety Innovations
Beyond basic Honda Sensing, the Prologue adds blind zone steering assist that counter-steers when obstacles appear unexpectedly. Rear cross traffic braking watches for approaching vehicles while backing out. Only the Elite trim gets the surround vision camera system, providing complete 360-degree views valuable for tight parking spaces.
Premium Audio and Display Technologies
Higher trims feature a 12-speaker Bose premium audio system designed specifically for the quiet EV cabin. In the 2025 Honda Prologue, Bose's Electric Vehicle Sound Enhancement (EVSE) system pumps specially tuned sounds through the speakers. It gives the cabin a richer feel and covers up any harsh electric-motor noise. The Elite trim exclusively offers a head-up display projecting key information onto your windshield.
EV-Specific Technology and Range Optimization
One-pedal driving lets you accelerate, cruise, and stop using just the accelerator pedal with two selectable braking levels. With DC fast charging, you can get up to 155 kW, which means about 65 miles of driving range with just 10 minutes of charging. The 85 kWh battery should give you around 308 miles per charge, according to EPA estimates.
Market Positioning Against Competitors
Compared to the Tesla Model Y's 357-mile range, the Prologue offers 308 miles but includes standard connectivity and comfort features like Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto that are missing in the Tesla Y. The 155 kW charging speed trails the Hyundai IONIQ 5's 350 kW capability, yet the Prologue's conventional approach appeals to buyers wanting proven technology over experimental features.
The Future of Honda's Electric Technology Vision
The Prologue gets over-the-air updates and helps Honda test new technology. The electric future looks promising with the Honda 0 Series concept arriving by 2026 and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) charging standard adoption providing access to 100,000 DC charge points by 2030. This SUV launches Honda's electric future. Ready to experience these technologies?
