Honda Prologue Sales Kicked Off In The U.S. In April, Acura ZDX Starts Arriving Today
Honda and its luxury brand are starting their Ultium-powered EV push.
In the last days of April, Honda officially started customer deliveries of the all-electric Honda Prologue model in the U.S. In total, the company sold 93 units last month.
Compared to Honda's 106,042 vehicle sales during the month (up 3.2% year-over-year), that's just 0.1%, but let's wait for the first whole month's result. It should quickly go into the hundreds.

Honda and Acura EVs are based on GM's Ultium platform
The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX all-electric models in the U.S. are based on General Motors' Ultium platform and are produced at GM factories. The two models will be used to jump-start Honda's electrification, which at a later point will rely on Honda's in-house platform.
While the Honda Prologue sales are expected to gradually ramp up in the following months, Honda's luxury arm—Acura—launched the Acura ZDX model. The ZDX and its performance-oriented ZDX Type S begin arriving at dealers today.
The Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX are based on General Motors's Ultium platform and are produced at GM's factories using lithium-ion batteries produced in North America (Ultium Cells).
This partnership allowed the Japanese company to accelerate electrification and catch on to the $7,500 federal tax credit for both models (as we reported here and here).
