The Prius is the most economical five-passenger car that doesn't have to be plugged in. In our tests it averaged 44 mpg overall, and 55 mpg on the highway. With light throttle input it can quietly drive on electric power up to 25 mph. The ride is firm yet steady, and handling is sound and secure, but not particularly agile. Road noise is pronounced. The interior is roomy and the driving position has improved, but some controls take a bit of getting used to. A plug-in version is available and will deliver around 12 to 15 miles on electricity. When the electric range is depleted, the car alternates between gas and electric modes like the regular Prius. Reliability of both versions are well above average.
