What’s So Great About the Toyota Prius Prime?

Almost everyone’s heard of the Toyota Prius, one of the first widely available hybrid vehicles on the market. Adding Prime to the title is Toyota’s way of telling you that this is the plug-in hybrid vehicle, so you can drive it like a hybrid or electric vehicle as you please. The 2021 Toyota Prius Prime offers a perfect choice for driving around the Baltimore area.

Performance

This plug-in hybrid version of the Prius has a predictably impressive fuel economy. The EPA estimates the Prius Prime to drive 55 MPG in the city and 53 MPG on the highway, and you can drive up to 25 miles in EV mode. Altogether, it has an estimated 133 MPGe, making it ideal for any environmentally conscious or gas-station-hating drivers in Alexandria.

When you buy your new Toyota Prius Prime, you won’t have to worry about paying to keep it in stellar condition. ToyotaCare covers your first two years or 25,000 miles of ownership, whichever comes first, with factory-scheduled maintenance. Plus, you’ll have three years of 24/7 roadside assistance, so if something goes wrong in between visits, you won’t be stranded outside Arlington.

Safety

Your Prius Prime will come with a suite of Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 driver-assist technologies. You don’t have to worry about missing a speed limit sign when Road Sign Assist can detect and display posted speed limits, and it can even detect stop signs, yield signs, do not enter signs and more.

Specially designed for their electric vehicles, the Prius Prime also has the Vehicle Proximity Notification System. This system emits noise when the vehicle is operating in electric mode and at low speeds, and it’s designed to match the audible detectability of similar-sized gas vehicles to keep the visually impaired and distracted aware of your position.
