What happens when a car that’s synonymous with a certain set of virtues adds a whole bunch more? It ends up here.
From the January 2024 issue of Car and Driver.You may be unsurprised to learn that 10Best voters praised the Toyota Prius for its “sleek, daringly styled hatchback bodywork.” But—record scratch—those plaudits were from 20 years ago when the 2004 Prius first made the 10Best list. That second-generation car became synonymous with “hybrid” and cemented the geek-chic appeal of a wild shape married to superlative fuel economy.
The Prius earns an EPA combined rating as high as 57 mpg, and doing our worst—you know, driving the way we drive—we observed 45 mpg in the Prius Limited. We saw 49 MPGe in the Prime, which also returned 33 miles of electric-only range at 75 mph. That could be enough range to realize the promise of fully electric daily driving, depending on your routine, while still allowing spur-of-the-moment 500-mile adventures.
