The Honda Prologue outsold the Odyssey and Passport last month, thanks to big savings

The Honda Prologue quietly outsold much of the competition last month after sales surged 80% from last August. With over 9,300 models sold in August, the Honda Prologue is coming off its best sales month yet.

Honda Prologue had its best sales month in August

Honda’s electric SUV is one of the most popular electric vehicles in the US. After delivering the first models last March, the Honda Prologue quickly became a surprise hit.

In the second half of the year, it was the second-best-selling electric SUV behind the Tesla Model Y. The Cinderella story continued in August after Honda sold a record 9,347 Prologues, its best sales month so far.

Honda sold more Prologues last month than the Odyssey (6,690) and Passport (5,173). It also outsold most EVs in the US.

Despite setting its own monthly sales record, the Prologue outsold Ford’s Mustang Mach-E. Ford reported earlier today that Mach-E sales hit a record 7,226 in August. Hyundai’s new IONIQ 5 had a breakout month with 7,773 units sold, up 61% from last August.

Honda has now sold nearly 32,000 Prologue models through the first eight months of the year. The Mach-E remains ahead on the year with 34,319 units sold, followed by the IONIQ 5 at nearly 32,700.

Although GM doesn’t provide a breakdown, the company said it sold a record 21,000 EVs between the Chevy, GMC, and Cadillac brands.

GM expects the Chevy Equinox EV to be among the top three best-selling EVs this year, behind only the Tesla Model Y and Model 3. Meanwhile, GM warned that with the “irrational discounts” ending, EV sales will slow next quarter.

Like most automakers, Honda is offering some serious savings opportunities ahead of the $7,500 tax credit expiration at the end of the month.

Honda is promoting Prologue leases as low as $159 per month. The offer includes a $3,500 conquest or loyalty bonus and is available in most US states.
