The model
Read full New Toyota Prius reviewThe Toyota Prius is more appealing than ever and this latest version is the best we’ve tested. It’s quieter and rides more comfortably than a VW Golf eHybrid, plus it remains fuel-efficient even with a depleted battery. However, rear passenger space is tight and the Golf eHybrid is a better company car option thanks to its much longer electric-only range. The cheaper entry-level Design trim is likely to be the best choice.
The trim
See full equipmentThis is the entry-level trim for the Prius and it comes with plenty of equipment as standard, including keyless entry, a 12.3in touchscreen infotainment system with sat-nav, rear privacy glass, a rear-view camera and dual-zone climate control.
The engine
See full engine specsThe Prius is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 220bhp. That’s enough for an official 0-62mph time of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 109mph.
