LOVE the versatility of Prius Prime
by MM from Cambridge, MA on Sun Apr 15 2018
I love the EV capabilities of my plug-in hybrid Prius Prime. I cannot wait to start using this car every day. I'll definitely rack up the EV miles by charging it. I'll be very happy when I realize how little gas I'm using each month.

The Prius Prime Premium is sporty and runs well, however, I would not recommend it to anyone who lives in upper Westchester or to anyone who has Con Ed , nor to anyone without a dedicated accessible outlet . The outlet installation costs $350. There are virtually no charge stations available in the vicinity of my home. Con Ed's fees are very high. It may be my ideal car in the future when a plug in is cheaper and readily available. For now, though, I overpaid fro a feature that is too expensive to use.

I've owned this car for less than a week but I love it. I know lots of people think this is an ugly car but I really like the look. I got it in blue magnetism and it really stands out. So far the drive is quiet and it's more powerful than my old Camry

Very comfortable and reliable, but not sporty!
by admflr from Barre, VT on Tue Jan 02 2018
I've owned my Prius Prime for a few months now. I absolutely love the interior styling, including the 7" touch screen. Most of the controls are intuitive, however some aspects require some getting used to. My only real gripe so far is that the vehicle is so under-powered, that it becomes somewhat embarrassing trying to not slow down too much going up hills when there is a car behind me. Obviously this was done on purpose to make the car more efficient, which is good.

Great for short travel in and around town, economical even for long travel. Host of tech yet easy to use for everyone. Fairly roomy and good storage for a mid size car.

Prius hybrid is my choice of vehicle and this one is better than the one I traded in. It's a plug in and the styling has been updated to give it a more racy look.

The car is a pleasure to drive. I love the MPG and all the safety features. I am up to 87 miles per gallon with daily charging. Can't believe it.

I love everything about this car except the trunk space and the fact that it only has 4 seats. Not using gas for weeks is amazing. The safety sense is fantastic.

This car is perfect. Great gas mileage! It's safe. It has great technical specs! Plenty of room, comfy. It's nice to have the rear view camera too

The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is quirky in the driving department and overly expressive in the looks department, but its electric-only range, gas mileage and green-car mission are admirable.
Other plug-ins offer similar fuel efficiency and electric-driving range, as well as more understated, regular-car styling, but the Prius Prime's value is hard to beat.
As many of us learn in playing (losing) the stock market, timing is everything. Toyota is likely in the middle of that lesson. New for 2017, the Prius Prime is a plug-in version of the regular Prius gas/electric hybrid, and now is not a prime time for it to debut: Sales of hybrids and electrics are down, and low gas prices and a White House teeming with climate-change deniers will likely keep them that way. That’s a shame; the Prime delivers a solid fuel economy win — you just have to put up with some quirks in exchange.
The Prime goes up against other plug-in hybrids like the Kia Optima Plug-In, Chevrolet Volt and Ford C-Max Energi. Compare them here.
