Charging Ahead: The 2024 Toyota Prius Prime
The key to the Prius Prime’s performance capability is the perky 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 150 horsepower and 139 lb.-ft of torque, and the 120-kW electric motor, which generates 161 horsepower. The net power for this PHEV system is 220 horsepower. This powertrain is paired with an ECVT transmission for buttery speed transitions on the road and electric power steering for easy handling.
The base SE model has a hybrid mode gas mileage of 53 MPG in the city, 51 MPG on the interstate, and 52 MPG combined. The EPA-estimated electric driving range for this trim is 44 miles, and the combined mileage is 127 MPGe. As for charging, it takes 11 hours to charge this PHEV using a 120-volt charger and four hours using a 240-volt charger.
Exterior
The SE is outfitted with 17-inch alloy wheels, which reduce the weight of the entire vehicle and ensure precision cornering control. Rain-sensing front windshield wipers automatically buff away rain as soon as it hits your windshield glass and heated outside mirrors keep fog, snow, and rain off your mirrors to ensure blind spot visibility. These side mirrors even have a folding feature just in case you need to park near a wall or column.
Interior
The SE comes with single-zone climate control with an integrated pollen filter to reduce outdoor allergens. A multi-functional steering wheel with ultra-soft SofTex fabric is standard, along with remote keyless entry and push-button start to get you on the road quickly. This model has 60/40 split-folding rear seats, so you can fold one or both to maximize your interior cargo volume.
This model comes with a seven-inch multi-information display so you can have real-time information about your vehicle’s fuel economy, trip time, warning messages, outside temperature, and much more. A standard integrated backup camera gives you more confidence when you are reverse parking or backing out of your parking space.
Infotainment
The SE comes with a six-speaker sound system and an eight-inch multimedia system. This infotainment center features five USB charge ports and hands-free compatibility with Bluetooth-capable devices for wireless calling, texting, and audio streaming. This model is compatible with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to access music playlists and navigation apps.
