Toyota rebrands its 2025 Prius Prime, now known as the Prius Plug-in Hybrid.
Introducing the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid: A Leap Forward in Electric Mobility
The much-anticipated 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is set to hit the roads, boasting a range of innovative features and improvements. One of the most notable enhancements is the extended all-electric driving range, with an estimated 44 miles on a full charge across all three trims: SE, XSE, and XSE Premium [1][2][5].
The base SE model, XSE, and top-tier XSE Premium all offer impressive performance, blending power with extended electric-only driving. The vehicle delivers 220 horsepower and a combined fuel economy of 52 MPG [1].
Under the hood, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid uses Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain, allowing it to operate in EV, Auto EV/HV, or Hybrid Mode. The vehicle also comes equipped with an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia Screen on the SE and XSE grades, and a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen standard on the XSE Premium grade (12.3-inch screen available as an option on the XSE grade) [6].
The XSE Premium grade offers a host of premium features, including a JBL® Premium Audio system with eight speakers as standard, SofTex®-trimmed heated and ventilated front seats with a Driver Memory seat, a fixed glass roof, and power rear liftback [3][4]. For those seeking an extra boost, the XSE Premium grade also offers an additional option for a 185W solar roof (available in limited quantities) [6].
Moreover, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid features a solar roof that can charge the drive battery with power from the sun while parked, providing an eco-friendly and sustainable charging solution [2]. The solar charger also supplies power to auxiliary functions while driving, further enhancing the vehicle's efficiency [7].
The 2025 model also sees the Prius Prime model renamed as the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. The vehicle will be identifiable by its "PHEV" badge on the rear, indicating its Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle powertrain [6].
For those who value convenience, the XSE Premium grade comes with Digital Key compatibility (Digital Key requires an active Remote Connect trial or subscription. 1-year trial included) [6].
The new Prius Plug-in Hybrid represents a significant improvement over prior models, which had an EV range closer to 25 miles [5]. With its extended range, improved performance, and eco-friendly features, the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is set to redefine electric mobility.
