A plug-in hybrid powertrain makes Toyota’s eco icon even greener.

The Prius Plug-In Hybrid is, as the name states, a plug-in hybrid version of the seminal Toyota Prius, further boosting efficiency with up to 44 miles of all-electric driving range. This model was known as the Toyota Prius Prime up to the 2025 model year, and for 2026 a new Nightshade Edition joins the lineup. While other mainstream brands like Hyundai and Kia offer plug-in hybrids, the Prius stands out with svelte styling.

Verdict: A stylish alternative to other plug-in hybrids and an efficient commuter car, the Prius Plug-In Hybrid is let down by a chintzy interior.
