What’s Honda Prologue ownership like in Panama City?
Owning a Honda Prologue in Panama City means a quiet all-electric SUV that is easy to live with day to day: the 2026 EX (AWD) starts at $42,000 with 300 hp and 25.2 cu ft of cargo behind the second row.

What each 2026 Honda Prologue trim offers a Panama City buyer
The 2026 Prologue comes in trims that differ on drive type, power and cargo room.
| Trim | Drive | Starting MSRP | Horsepower | Cargo behind row 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prologue EX | Front-wheel drive | $39,900 | 220 hp | 25.2 cu ft |
| Prologue EX | All-wheel drive | $42,000 | 300 hp | 25.2 cu ft |
| Prologue Touring | Front-wheel drive | $44,200 | 220 hp | 23.7 cu ft |
| Prologue Elite | All-wheel drive | $50,400 | 300 hp | 23.7 cu ft |
A family that uses the space behind the second row gets 1.5 more cubic feet on the EX than on the Touring or Elite.
What is a Honda Prologue like to drive around Panama City?
Panama City drivers choose between 220 hp front-wheel drive and 300 hp all-wheel drive, and the all-wheel models add 355 lb-ft of torque. Honda’s EPA-certified range is 308 miles on front-wheel drive, 294 on AWD Touring and 283 on AWD Elite (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). Panama City commuters averaged 21.4 minutes one way in 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024).
Most daily Panama City driving makes the EX front-wheel drive the simplest pick.
What the Honda Prologue’s shared platform means for service in Panama City
Honda developed the Prologue with General Motors and built it on GM’s EV platform with the Ultium battery (Honda, 2024). For a Panama City owner, that means service and parts still go to a Honda dealer, and in this city that is Group 1 Honda Panama City.
In an August 2026 Google review, Jo D. wrote: “I arrived early, Dennis, our service advisor got me right in. I was waiting on my car and he kept me advised the whole time! Then he went over every line item in the invoice. Very pleased with the service and attention given to detail.” That review describes one visit. Parts can be requested online: submit your contact and model details, and the store calls when the parts are ready for pickup.
What happens to Honda Prologue support after the 2026 model year?
Honda will end Prologue sales later this year, after the 2026 model year (GCN, 2026). Honda says Prologue owners keep full support through its dealer network. Honda’s own wording: “Prologue customers will continue to receive full support through our dealer network, including service, parts, and warranty coverage.”
Every new Honda, including the 12-volt battery, is covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles against degradation below 75% of original value. Gradual capacity loss is expected and is not covered under that warranty.
What does a Honda Prologue cost to own in Bay County?
Honda’s starting prices set the base: $39,900 for the EX front-wheel drive, $42,000 for the EX all-wheel drive, $44,200 for the Touring front-wheel drive and $50,400 for the Elite all-wheel drive. Florida’s 6% state sales tax and Bay County’s 1% surtax go on top, and the surtax follows the county where the buyer lives (Florida Department of Revenue, 2025).
The county surtax is capped. It applies only to the first $5,000 of the purchase price, so the county portion stops growing after that. Every figure in this example is hypothetical. On a $42,000 EX all-wheel drive, the 6% state tax comes to $2,520 and the 1% surtax on the first $5,000 adds $50, for $2,570 before title and registration fees.
What are the lease, finance and used Prologue options in Panama City?
Group 1 Honda Panama City offers custom ordering of a new Honda and a secure online finance application. Through AcceleRide, a buyer can find a new vehicle, purchase it online and have it delivered. We ship cars out of state and deliver new or pre-owned vehicles to the buyer’s driveway.
For a used Prologue, each certified pre-owned vehicle comes with a free vehicle history report, so you can read the car’s history before you sign. If you want to lease, we can custom order a new Honda for you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to insure a Honda Prologue in Florida?
Insurify puts the average full-coverage premium in Florida at $2,839 a year, or $237 a month, against a national average of $2,241 a year (Insurify, 2026). That is a statewide average, not a quote for a Prologue. Get a quote for your own car and driver to see your figure.
What does Florida charge to register an electric Honda?
Florida’s base annual registration tax for a passenger car is $32.50 for vehicles weighing 3,500 pounds or more (Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, 2026). The EX all-wheel drive has a 5,086-pound curb weight, which falls in that band. The base tax is only part of the bill, since other statutory fees apply, and a $6.25 service fee can apply at a tax collector’s office.
What incentives apply to a Honda Prologue purchase in Florida?
The federal clean vehicle credits no longer apply to a Prologue acquired after September 30, 2025 (Internal Revenue Service, 2025). Florida offers no state tax credit, rebate or grant for buying or leasing an electric vehicle. The savings left to work with are in the price and in the finance terms.
What do you need to charge a Honda Prologue at home?
The home setup that matters is a Level 2 240-volt charger. On one, the Prologue adds up to 34.1 miles of range per hour. The Home Charging Station 48, hardwired and rated up to 11.5 kW, charges the 85 kWh battery from 0 to 100% in 8.9 hours.
What does the Honda Prologue carry for a flat tire?
Select Prologue trims come with a tire repair kit, which lets you reinflate a flat tire and drive to the nearest dealer to have it repaired or replaced. The kit is not on every trim, so confirm the trim you are considering before you buy.
What does a Honda Prologue’s second row offer a family?
The EX has 39.4 inches of second-row legroom and 25.2 cubic feet of cargo behind the second row, with 57.7 cubic feet maximum. Touring and Elite keep the same 39.4 inches of second-row legroom but offer 23.7 cubic feet behind the second row and 54.5 cubic feet maximum. Front-row legroom is 41.4 inches on each of those trims.
How Group 1 Honda Panama City sells, services and finances your Prologue

In an August 2026 Google review, Theresa R. wrote: “Very wonderful! Our salesperson listened to our needs and wants, and professionally responded for a great deal. The financial and management staff were also very professional and kind.” That review describes the sales side of one purchase.
