If you’re having trouble deciding between a hybrid or all-electric powertrain for your next vehicle, why not have both? The 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid gives you the option to drive with its hybrid system or switch over to an electric-only driving mode. This boldly designed compact hatchback has a seemingly endless list of amenities, as well.
Power and Handling
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid’s powertrain features a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, permanent magnet AC synchronous electric motor, and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission. A healthy total output of 220 horsepower means admirable performance in any situation, plus drivers can expect an incredible fuel economy of up to 127 MPGe combined. When running on electric power alone, the vehicle has a range of up to 44 miles.
Not only is the Prius Plug-in Hybrid genuinely quick with a 0-to-60 time of as low as 6.6 seconds; it’s also a nimble handler thanks to its independent MacPherson strut front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. Body roll is minimal, and the ride quality is exceptionally smooth.
Exterior
This iteration of the Prius looks more sleek and sporty than ever before! It boasts futuristic lines, an aggressive stance, and premium features like LEDs for the headlights and taillights. While the base SE trim comes standard with eye-catching 17-inch alloy wheels finished in black, XSE and XSE Premium models have larger 19-inch wheels. The latter is available with a solar charging roof that helps to charge the powertrain’s lithium-ion battery.
Passenger Cabin
Inside, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid houses an ultra-modern and spacious cabin featuring tons of standard and available creature comforts. Generous seating for five people includes up to 38 inches of front headroom and nearly 36 inches of rear legroom. A 7-inch digital instrument panel, SofTex leatherette-wrapped and heated steering wheel, and single-zone climate control system with pollen filtering are standard.
The XSE makes trips even more comfortable by adding SofTex-wrapped seats and heating for the front seats. Its standard 8-way power driver’s seat with power lumbar support reduces fatigue during long road trips. XSE Premium models take luxury another step further with their ventilated front seats and driver memory system.
Infotainment System
An 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen is standard on the SE and XSE, but a larger 12.3-inch display is available on the latter and standard on the XSE Premium. Either promises added convenience and entertainment with the inclusion of wireless smartphone integration, Bluetooth wireless technology, and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. The 8-speaker JBL sound system that’s exclusive to the XSE Premium delivers an immersive listening experience.
