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 Analysis

Tailored to this vehicle?

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.
