Prius PHEV

On sale for nearly three decades, the Toyota Prius is the O.G. of consumer gas-electric hybrids. Revised in 2023, the current Prius PHEV bears little resemblance to the original, however, sporting a sleek profile and a fun-to-drive demeanor that was missing from earlier generations. The Prius PHEV's party trick is its ability to plug in and add enough juice to its battery for an EPA-estimated electric-only range of up to 45 miles, enough electrons for many drivers to commute on. Operating in regular hybrid mode, it can travel up to an EPA-estimated 600 miles before needing to refuel or recharge. Though its wind-cheating low roofline encroaches on headroom, it looks great and is a small tradeoff for its remarkable efficiency.
