Overview
Cars like the 2024 Toyota Prius might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The Toyota Prius uses its 2.0L I-4 engine and an electric motor along with a 4.08 Ah lithium-ion battery to produce 194 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. This gives the Toyota Prius a 0-60 mph time of 7.1 seconds. The hybrid system here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2024 Prius achieves a combined fuel economy of 57 MPG. As part of the compact hybrid hatchback, the Prius competes with the Honda Insight, the Kia Niro Hybrid, and the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. It offers 3 trims, starting off at an MSRP of $29,000.
