2022 Toyota Prius Prime
“The 2022 Toyota Prius Prime is beautiful to look at, fun to drive, and never a source of range anxiety,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc.
Prius Prime powertrain
The powertrain features a combination of high-torque electric motor/generator, continuously variable transmission, a 1.8L Atkinson cycle four-cylinder engine and a high capacity storage battery.
For most daily driving, Prius Prime will operate in pure electric vehicle (EV) mode for up to 40 km on a single charge.
For longer trips, Prius Prime eliminates range anxiety by seamlessly switching to a full self-charging hybrid mode.
The result is a vehicle with an impressive fuel efficiency rating of just 1.8Le / 100 km (city/highway/EV combined) and a total driving range of up to 1,035 km.
