2022 Toyota Prius Prime in Lockport, NY
Design
It's clear that the Prius Prime is ready for the future. It has an eye-catching appearance with quad-LED projector headlights. At the back of the car, LED lights extend from one side to the other. There's a bit of a wave built into the back of the Prius Prime, creating and aerodynamic, and unique design.
With a hatchback design, the Prius Prime has a good amount of interior space. Five people can fit comfortably together in the two rows of seating. When it's time to maximize cargo space, you can lower the rear seats down. The entire row can be folded down, or you can leave one seatback in its upright position while lowering the other side.
Performance & Range
Toyota has given the Prius Prime a 1.8-liter, four-cylinder engine. It works in cooperation with an electric motor. Combined horsepower is 121. We know that this is a fairly modest number, but rest assured that the car feels energetic. After all, it's relatively small and light, and it does a good job of quickly accelerating when it needs to.
For the most part, the car can seamlessly transition between using gas and electric power. However, you do have the opportunity to influence this. There is an EV mode in which the Prius Prime only uses electric power. It can drive on electric power for about 25 miles. There's also an Eco mode, which optimizes efficiency as much as possible. When the vehicle is in hybrid mode, it can earn up to 54 miles per gallon.
If you aren't familiar with how plug-in hybrids work, here's a brief overview. They can run on regular gasoline and use energy supplied by an electric motor and a battery. The battery of the Prius Prime can be charged at any outlet. It takes about five and a half hours to get a full charge using a standard household outlet, and if you have a 240-volt outlet, it can be fully charged in approximately two hours.
Interior & Technology
The Prius Prime has many practical features. Heated front seats and a smart key system are standard. Seats can be fabric or a synthetic leather-type material called SofTex. It can be nice to have a model with a power-adjustable driver's seat with power lumbar support. There are two sizes of touchscreens available. One measures seven inches, and the other measures 11.6 inches. They both come with smartphone integration, Amazon Alexa, and SiriusXM.
Safety Features
As you may already know, Toyota has worked hard to integrate driver-assist systems into its new vehicles. The Prius Prime has the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 package with multiple mitigation programs to prevent frontal collisions and accidents resulting from drifting out of a lane. Blind-spot monitoring and parking assistance are available as well.
Trim Levels
Williamsville and Orchard Park customers have a choice of the LE, XLE, and the Limited. The LE has a seven-inch touchscreen, heated side mirrors, and 15-inch wheels. The XLE offers a smart charging cable lock, wireless charging, and a larger touchscreen. With the Limited, things are quite impressive. For instance, it has integrated navigation, a heated steering wheel, and LED fog lights.
