How Does the Chevy Blazer EV Compete Against the Honda Prologue?
Electric vehicles used to be hard to come by. But, over the past five years, it has become clear that electric vehicles (EVs) are the future of automation; demand has increased, and supply has risen to meet demand. While there may be more options on the market than before, not all EVs are made equal. Therefore, it is important to understand that an EV’s quality is never measured with one specification, feature, or overall popular opinion. It’s important to examine what each EV offers and decide from there.
The Blazer EV may look like any other Chevy Blazer, but there’s far more to it than meets the eye. If you’re searching for a Chevy Blazer EV for sale in Albany, you’ll find it here at DePaula Chevrolet. In addition to offering a wide selection of Blazer EV models, we also have a knowledgeable team at your disposal that can show you your options and answer any questions you may have about making the leap to an electric vehicle.
But, with so many EV options on the market now, what makes a vehicle like the Blazer EV stand out from the rest? Well, let’s take a look at the Blazer compared to its Honda Prologue rival. Both are great vehicles, so it’s a fair comparison; it would be fruitless to hold the Blazer up next to something that simply doesn’t compare. But, in examining these two powerful EVs next to each other, you’ll see why the Blazer EV comes out on top. So, how do they compare?
Chevy’s Unique Ultium Platform Design
When shopping for an EV, it can be easy to get caught up in basic specifications: range, acceleration rate, etc. But, these features don’t always speak to the actual structural integrity of a vehicle, which is especially important when considering an EV. Most of Chevy’s EVs are built with the foundation of the innovative Ultium Platform. In addition to supporting multiple range options, the Ultium Platform also supports the availability of four drive systems: dual-motor all-wheel drive, performance dual-motor all-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive.
Take a step back for a moment. The fact that one vehicle can offer all of those drive options is quite impressive; many vehicles offer standard front-wheel drive with an optional all-wheel drive package. The fact that the Blazer EV can offer front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and not only one but two all-wheel drive options means that the baseline structure of this vehicle is offering something truly special.
The Honda Prologue is an all-new vehicle for the 2024 model year. That is very exciting! As we said, the Honda Prologue is a great vehicle, making it a worthy opponent of the Blazer EV (competition is boring when there’s no actual competition). But, the Prologue is the first-ever all-electric SUV that Honda has produced, and electric SUVs are not an easy product to develop. Chevy, on the other hand, has been producing electric SUVs for years and has recently gone above and beyond the electric SUV with the electric truck in the Silverado EV. Chevy is well-seasoned in the electric vehicle market, as proven by its tried and true Ultium Platform structure. Honda, while offering a vehicle that has great specs, is not as seasoned in the area of electric vehicles and may be lacking in some of the structural integrity offered by the Blazer EV.
Superior Styling
Of course, the real unique offering of an EV is the superior engineering and capability. But, EVs have also proven themselves to be trailblazers in terms of vehicle fashion. It’s abundantly clear that no EV will keep up unless it’s offering fashion cues that go above and beyond traditional vehicles. Electrification is about more than just engineering; it’s about making the electrification felt throughout the whole experience.
The Honda Prologue offers some nice stylish features, including available leather-trimmed seating with hints of orange. Overall, though, the Prologue sticks to simple color schemes of gray and black; simple is not bad, however the cabin style does not necessarily feel like anything outside of the ordinary.
The Blazer EV goes all-out with style, making the electrification felt in every facet of the vehicle. While there are several trim levels offering varying degrees of stylishness, the 2025 Blazer EV SS trim is quite literally unlike anything you’ve ever seen in a vehicle before. With completely red leather seats–not hints of red, but quite literally all-red seats, the SS trim offers you the true vehicle of the future…except it’s right now. The race car-inspired interior makes every inch of the vehicle, from the flat-bottomed steering wheel to the available moonroof to the climate-control dials, feel like finely crafted details to make every day a special occasion.
Even the exterior provides finely crafted unique details like available walk-up lighting; imagine approaching your vehicle and being welcomed by the excitement of the exterior lighting up to announce its readiness for your ride. The Blazer EV has taken what we already know of premium EV style and has run away with it to make something truly outstanding and special.
The Blazer EV’s Impressively Large Standard Touchscreen
Of course, an EV must be high-tech. Similar to style, no EV will keep up if it’s not offering the latest and greatest tech features in a visually appealing way. Both vehicles certainly do this, but there is one vehicle which does it better than the other.
The Honda Prologue offers an 11.3-inch center display which has Google built-in and supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Those are all leading technology features, not all of which are seen in all vehicles, so the Prologue is definitely offering top-level features. The Prologue also has wireless charging capability, making it easy for your device to keep charged, which is especially helpful when utilizing features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The Prologue’s center display is supported by an 11-inch digital instrument cluster (sometimes referred to as the driver information/command center). Most vehicles don’t offer a digital instrument cluster that is essentially the same size as its infotainment center display, so you’ll definitely feel the presence of technology in the Prologue.
But…the Blazer EV still finds a way to top the prologue when it comes to technology. With its standard 17.7-inch Diagonal Display Screen, the Blazer’s center infotainment display has 6.4 inches on the Prologue’s screen. Think about that for a moment: 6.4 inches! That’s more than 1.5 times the size of the Prologue’s screen. Plus, the Blazer EV offers the same 11-inch Diagonal Driver Information Screen, so they’re tied in that regard. The EV offers a total of 28.7 inches of screenage in the front driver area; that’s a lot and unlike anything you’ll find in the Prologue. If you’re looking to experience electrification in terms of style and technology, the Blazer EV is the clear winner.
The Blazer EV is the Whole Package
From its unique Ultium Platform design to its massive 17.7-inch touchscreen display, the Chevy Blazer EV is the perfect EV for those who are new to the all-electric experience, as well as those who have already made the switch and are looking for a midsize SUV that’s packed with style and cutting-edge tech. While the Honda Prologue is certainly a solid EV, it just can’t compete with the Blazer EV and Chevy’s already extensive dedication to its all-electric lineup. We invite you to visit us here at DePaula Chevrolet and experience the Blazer EV for yourself. We’re confident that you’ll see just how unique it is from the moment you step inside its cabin and start it up. Say goodbye to the pumps and say hello to an all-electric driving experience with the Blazer EV.
