Honda Prologue Lands in Top 10 U.S. Leased Vehicles
Honda’s all-electric Prologue is making waves. Launched just last March, the Prologue has already earned a spot among the top 10 most leased vehicles in the U.S.—and it’s the only non-Tesla EV on the list. That’s a big milestone for Honda, and it’s happening fast.
Affordable Leases Are Fueling the Momentum
Nearly 60% of new EV buyers in Q1 chose to lease. That’s up from 36% the year before, and the Prologue is riding that wave. With monthly lease payments around $486—far below the $708 average loan rate—drivers are jumping at the chance to try electric without the full cost of ownership.
In fact, nearly 90% of Honda Prologue customers in Q1 opted to lease. Just under 9% chose to finance, and fewer than 2% paid with cash.
Incentives Sweeten the Deal
Leasing makes the $7,500 federal EV tax credit instantly available—something that isn’t always possible when buying. Combined with Honda’s aggressive pricing, this makes the Prologue an easy choice for EV shoppers.
Acura, Honda’s luxury brand, is also moving EVs quickly. In May, the nearly $65,000 Acura ZDX was selling for under $40,000 on average. These discounts are helping more people make the switch to electric.
Chevy’s Equinox EV Joins the Battle
GM isn’t backing down either. The Chevy Equinox EV is now one of the best deals on the market, starting at $34,995 with a 319-mile EPA range. Lease prices dropped as low as $289 a month in Q1—nearly $243 less than financing.
Try Before You Buy—While It’s Still Cheap
With incentives under threat from policy shifts in Washington, these lease deals may not last. But right now, it’s the perfect time to experience a new EV. Whether it’s the sleek Prologue or the value-packed Equinox, affordable leasing is making electrification more accessible than ever.
