Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryWith the 2021 Prius Prime, Toyota does what Toyota does best—packaging. The car comes with a good list of standard equipment and features while maintaining the range and efficiency qualities that plug-in hybrid shoppers are looking for. But a hard-to-use infotainment system and slow acceleration eat into the ownership experience as the market gets increasingly more competitive. | |
