(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)

The creators of the Prius Plugin Hybrid managed to achieve this result by increasing the efficiency of the internal combustion engine (petrol 1.8), improved electric part, reduced weight, optimized traction battery and better aerodynamics. One of the interesting features of the design is the fact that the generator turns into an electric motor during intensive acceleration, helping the main traction electric motor and the internal combustion engine.

By the way, the lithium-ion traction battery (8.8 kWh) can be charged from a household electrical network of 110 V for five and a half hours. From 240 V, the charging time is cut in half. Moreover, this process can be controlled via the Prius Prime Apps from a smartphone. There you can also compare driving profiles with other Prius Plug-in Hybrid owners.

It’s also worth mentioning that the interior of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid, unlike the regular hybrid, has an 11.6-inch screen on the center console. It is part of the multimedia and navigation complex. As an option, you can get a projection display, leather upholstery seats, a premium JBL audio system with 10 speakers, an automatic parking system, wireless phone charging and so on. But even the basic equipment includes climate control, heated front seats, eight airbags and Toyota Safety Sense technology package.
