Toyota is world-leading in hybrid power innovation, and the Prius Plug-in is the marque’s latest technological achievement. This plug-in hybrid car has a bigger electric-only range than the standard Prius, making this model ideal for people who want to drive more on electric power alone. There are two trim levels available: Business Edition Plus and Excel.
The Prius Plug-in is highly distinctive, with a sweeping roofline and the same elegant profile as the other members of the Prius family. Toyota has also added some sharp styling cues to the front and rear ends, marking this model out with bold LED running lights and a sporty rear spoiler. Whichever trim you choose, your Prius Plug-in gets striking alloy wheel designs. You can also add a solar panel to the roof, which adds up to three miles per day to the pure electric range.
Interior Design
Inside, the Prius Plug-in is spacious and airy. The intelligent cockpit design places the driver at the centre of the action, with a streamlined dashboard and an eight-inch touchscreen which gives you access to the intuitive infotainment system. The Business Plus Edition features heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and a wireless phone charger. Upgrade to the Excel grade to enjoy leather upholstery and a premium JBL audio system which fills the cabin with rich sound.
Performance
The hybrid powertrain brings together a highly efficient electric motor and a petrol engine that delivers a combined output of 121bhp. When running on electric power alone, the Prius Plug-in is smooth and silent and emits zero CO2 emissions, and the engine kicks in at higher speeds or for longer journeys. This car is highly economical, delivering combined returns of up to 283mpg and CO2 emissions from just 22g/km. Using a standard domestic charger, the Prius Plug-in’s battery takes just two hours to charge fully.
Technology and Safety
Toyota has equipped this model with the latest innovative features, inside and out. The Business Plus Edition has adaptive headlights and a sophisticated pre-collision system with pedestrian detection to try and prevent accidents before they happen. The Excel grade has features such as parking sensors and a parking assistance system to help you to avoid any paintwork scrapes. The Excel trim also includes voice recognition controls, so you can keep your focus on the road ahead at all times.
