The Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the Prius Prime renamed for 2025.
It shares the same low-slung design as the regular Prius, but it adds a larger lithium-ion battery that can be plugged in for an electric-only range between 39 and 44 miles, depending on trim, impressive for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle.
Unlike a pure EV, it also has a 2.0-liter gas engine.
Once the battery is depleted, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid acts like a regular hybrid.
It managed 43 mpg with our tested XSE trim.
It takes about 10 hours to charge the battery on a standard 120-volt outlet, or about 4 hours on a 240-volt EV charger.
The PHEV is not available with all-wheel drive.
In most other ways it's very similar to the regular Prius, with responsive handling, a firm ride, a noisy engine, awkward access, and limited visibility.
Its hatchback design adds versatility.
