August 12th, 2024 by

What’s better than a car with hybrid technology? If you ask the team behind the 2024 Toyota Prius Prime, their answer will be: a car with two hybrid technologies. With outstanding fuel efficiency, energy source flexibility, impressive performance, and all the safety and driver assist features we’ve come to expect from Toyota, the 2024 Prius Prime may be the most advanced hybrid in the world. Here’s what sets it apart from the (battery) pack.

 

The 2024 Toyota Prius Prime: Leading the Charge in Hybrid Technology

The genius behind the 2024 Prius Prime is conceptual: what if a plug-in hybrid switched to a regular hybrid when it ran out of juice? With the well-established Prius line already claiming the throne atop the hybrid heap, Toyota engineers took it further, adding a plug-in hybrid motor to the already-efficient Prius. The result? A hybrid that can charge from the wall, juice itself up from its brakes, and still get incredible efficiency when the juice runs out.

Efficiency Everywhere You Look

The 2024 Prius Prime offers an all-electric range of up to 44 miles, which is more than enough for almost any daily commute, and its charging system is compatible with over 42,000 charging stations across the United States. But efficiency doesn’t vanish at 45 miles; the Prius Prime still operates as a full hybrid vehicle, getting up to 52 mpg combined when gasoline is the primary fuel source. The result? An incredible 127 MPGe combined.

Powerful and Nimble

One of the advantages of hybrid powertrains is the incredible amount of torque offered by electric motors. And with its unique powertrain system, the 2024 Prius Prime offers up to 220 horsepower, enough to catapult it from zero to sixty in just 6.6 seconds (more than a half-second faster than the 2024 Prius).

Packed With Features

From the top-mounted Multi-Information Display that puts critical vehicle and driving information in the driver’s line of sight, to the generous 20.3 cubic feet of under-hatch storage, the 2024 Prius Prime is brimming with features. The infotainment system reaches up to 12 inches, JBL premium audio is available, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come wireless.

Makes the Road a Safer Place

With Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 on board, the Prius Prime offers lots of driver-assist technologies to make the journey safer. Radar cruise control works through the whole speed range, lane centering assistance helps prevent drift, and pre-collision braking helps prevent collisions. No wonder it’s an IIHS Top Safety Pick.

With an innovative, dual-hybrid powertrain, a sporty and enthusiastic drive, and plenty of features to drool over, the 2024 Prius Prime takes the hybrid market to the next generation. Help drive the change. Test drive the Prius Prime today at Don Franklin Toyota Corbin in Corbin, KY.
