Manufacturer data · WLTP-estimated consumption · Caralogy-simulated performance

Among the 11 compacts plug-in hybrid, the Prius PHEV combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use (mid-table), a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the Prius PHEV through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for

Home-to-office commute up to 60 km in pure electric. Overnight charging is sufficient.

Less suitable for

Very long trips without stopping. With 69 km combined range, expect more frequent refuelling than other PHEVs in the segment.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Audi A3 allstreet (1st with 128 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 (1st with 954 km) takes the lead.

In the city: 69 km pure electric (mid-table)

With a full battery, the Prius PHEV drives in pure electric mode for the first 69 km WLTP - placing it 5th of 11 in Electric WLTP range, behind the Audi A3 allstreet (128 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Prius PHEV behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.

Toyota Prius PHEV: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the Prius PHEV rank in its segment?

Among the 11 compacts plug-in hybrid 2021–2025, the Prius PHEV ranks 5th of 11 in Electric WLTP range (69 km, behind the Audi A3 allstreet), 9th of 11 in Combined range (69 km, behind the Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8), 6th of 11 in 0–100 km/h (6.8 s, behind the DS4 E-Tense 300 4WD).

What is the électrique range of the Prius PHEV?

69 km WLTP announced - making it the 5th of 11 in Electric WLTP range out of 11 models. The reference is the Audi A3 allstreet (128 km).

How much does the Prius PHEV cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Audi A3 allstreet instead?

The Audi A3 allstreet leads in Electric WLTP range (128 km vs 69 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the Prius PHEV vs Audi A3 allstreet duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
