PLANO, Texas (Sept. 26, 2024) – In 2016, the Prius Prime was introduced to the world as a plug-in hybrid model that offered the best-of-both worlds, operating on battery electric power for a limited range or hybrid gas-electric power for longer range drives. In 2022 a new Prius Prime model was introduced, with a manufacturer estimated EV range of up-to 44 miles and an impressive 6.6-second 0-60 time. It’s a powertrain option that has become a great choice for many drivers, giving them the power to take on a daily commute in all-electric mode or head for that destination road trip that’s across the country.
