This is the sensation in terms of electric car sales in the United States. However, very few observers bet on its success. The Honda Prologue thus displays excellent figures for a vehicle launched during the year. Let’s take stock of this success and its origins.
Impressive results
Electreka media outlet that is always very well informed on the subject, looks back on the sales figures for the Honda Prologue. The South Korean manufacturer sold 6,800 units in November, enough to allow it to end the year with 33,000 units sold. A figure to say the least impressive considering this model was only launched last March.
Even stronger, the Honda Prologue is now playing in the big leagues and hot on the heels of Elon Musk’s company on its own land. Thus, it is the best-selling electric car across the Atlantic in November, just behind the Tesla Model Y and Model 3.
Anatomy of a success
While many experts did not bet a kopeck on this model, which some summarized as a General Motors vehicle subtly redesigned by Honda, success has been achieved for the time being. So, how can we explain this launch with great fanfare from Uncle Sam?
As explained ElectrekHonda has been able to refine its SUV by integrating its own features. The same goes for its front and rear suspensions which add a “sporty” feeling when driving. The integration of options such as wireless support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also appeal to motorists.
The site Insideevs notes that the Prologue is an electric vehicle that focuses on “normality”, which can give confidence to owners of thermal cars who want a smooth transition.
Our colleagues also rightly add that this Honda model has solid specifications, such as its 85 kWh battery and its range of between 440 and 475 km. Finally, its maximum charging speed remains average, but appreciable. It can be recharged between 20 and 80% in approximately 35 minutes.
These advantages taken together seem to make the difference and place the Honda Prologue in a strong position to enter the new year. The sales figures for the coming quarters will confirm this upward trajectory or, on the contrary, calm the current euphoria.
