Why is the Honda Prologue not selling?

The Honda Prologue is not selling well due to a combination of high cost, a lack of unique features, a perceived low-quality interior compared to its price, and a strategic sales model that may be designed to encourage leases over purchases. Other factors include a less-than-competitive charging speed and the perception that its infotainment and user experience are dated or are not truly "Honda" quality.
 
Cost and sales strategy

• High price: The Prologue is not considered cheap, and some argue it isn't a good value compared to its features and quality. 
• Lease-focused strategy: Honda may be intentionally offering attractive lease deals to get customers into the vehicle, with the ultimate goal of converting them to more expensive, in-house-designed EVs later on. 

Vehicle features and performance

• Lack of unique features: The Prologue does not have advanced driver-assistance features like hands-free driving, which are becoming common in competitors. 
• Underwhelming performance: It is criticized for having a subdued, lazy handling feel and lacking a sporty character, which is a disappointment for a brand known for performance. 
• Slow charging: Its charging speed is slower than many competitors, topping out at 150 kW. 

Interior and user experience

• Perceived low quality: Some reviews point to cheap-feeling materials, particularly in the rear seats, and steering column stalks that feel "flimsy," a significant drawback given the car's price. 
• Dated infotainment: The user interface uses generic GM graphics and branding, and the system has been criticized for not integrating supercharger locations into its native navigation. 
• Clunky usability: The car has a number of minor inconveniences, such as requiring the car to be turned off to view battery percentage and the auto high beams being integrated with the blinker stalk, which can be confusing for some users. 

Honda's brand perception

• Perceived "not-a-Honda" feel: Because the Prologue is built on a GM platform, some existing Honda customers feel it doesn't have the quality or feel of a true Honda.
