2021 Prius: Primed to Perfection
Since its debut in 1997, the Prius has been a Toyota staple and a hybrid ahead of its time. Known for its electric capabilities and unmatched fuel efficiency, the Prius has rightfully earned its reputation as the world’s best-selling hybrid vehicle—and it’s a reputation Toyota is expecting to continue to uphold.
Prime Improvements
Safety, efficiency, durability, and technology—these are just a few of the many improved aspects that make the 2021 Prius primed to perfection. Adopting the Toyota “Prime” badge means the all-new Prius is a distinguished model of the manufacturer, and quite literally, the best of the best. Combining the best features of its previous counterpart with modern upgrades, the Prius Prime truly is as its name defines: of first importance and best possible quality.
When charged, the Prius Prime is capable of operating almost completely silently, with a no-gas EV mode that can travel up to 25 miles (equivalent to the average commuting distance of many Americans). Additionally, the Prime adds new Android Auto compatibility and its plug-in capabilities allow it to achieve an astounding 640-mile driving range. Also new is the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0, a suite of driver-assist technologies, highlighted by automatic emergency braking and also including a pre-collision system with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beam, lane tracing assist, and road sign assist.
Also impressive, are the Prime’s fuel efficiency numbers:
- 55 city MPG
- 53 highway MPG
- 54 combined MPG
- 133 MPGe when fully charged
- 640-mile total driving range
