Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
The fifth-generation Prius introduced last year brought back the plug-in hybrid variant, only this time with a much more potent setup delivering a total of 220 horsepower. Equipped with a 13.6kWh lithium-ion battery, the latest Prius Prime can drive up to 72 km in pure electric mode. Unlike the standard Prius, however, all-wheel drive is not available. Still, performance and handling are much more inspiring than in the past.
