Honda Prologue EV $249/month + tax lease on a new 2025 Touring 2WD !

[metroshot]

Took the wife on a test drive with the Honda Prologue at our dealer and they had an awesome $249/month + tax lease special.

Dealer confirmed in writing that the figure is correct for us as we have top tier credit during a soft pull.

Wife did not get it due to the wife not liking the 1PD that got her nauseated during the test drive.

After we returned, salesperson showed us how to turn off 1PD and go back to traditional 2PD which would have made the sale had we known.

Not a competitor to Slate.

Not a good deal for me.

Thanks for this Honda info. I think a Slate purchase decision will invariably be made by informed consumers who will weigh all the factors one of which is surely price of ownership.

I am now seriously going to lease the Prologue for 24 months because who knows how long the Slate will take.

My Ford BEV is starting to give me issues as I near the end of warranty....

Really not a fair price comparison given the federal tax credit applies on the Honda and it won't apply to the Slate.

If it’s the price the consumer pays, it’s a fair comparison

With the Slate, no; but my past 2 EVs have had the tax credits applied (after the sale) instead of POS.

Not mention that not only is the $7500 tax credit applied at the time of sale; Honda Financial is kicking in $9000 of cap cost reductions!

This is really about $400/month (+monthly sales tax) considering the upfront payment required. I’ve leased in the past but I never put cash into it upfront.

Keep in mind that the Prologue is really a GM product rebadged by Honda.

Yes I noticed the OnStar SOS button on the headliner.

The infotainment system looks antiquated GM style too.

Charging at Tesla Supercharger requires you to tell it you are a GM Blazer vehicle...

It will do for 2 years when the Slate should be out.

Color me shocked that a Ford is already being problematic.

😅Of all the new cars I have had, my '23 Ford BEV has been the least problematic of all - OTOH the worst was a new Land Rover Discovery that was on the other end of the spectrum....

However, as the Ford Mach E just reached 30K miles, it is starting to show up with many annoying issues:

Front camera faults so no hands free driving (repaired under warranty)
Speakers are failing (repaired under warranty)
Door seams are separating (waiting for next service)
Safety belt CSP
Currently it's under a stop sale for a 12V battery & locking recall
