How is the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime vs. the Prius?

I want to get a brand-new hybrid and I’ve had my eyes on both the 2022 Prius Prime and the regular Prius. However, I’m not exactly sure what the differences are. Can you tell me more about the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime vs. the Prius?

Shopping for a brand-new car is always exciting—especially when you have a car vs. car scenario! The 2022
Toyota Prius Prime
and the
Toyota Prius
are similar in name and the fact that they’re both hybrids. However, the major difference is that the Prius Prime offers plug-in capabilities.
The Prime’s plug-in capabilities mean that you can get up to 25 miles on electric power alone, which can save you even more gas. On the flip side, only the Prius offers all-wheel drive, if that’s something that appeals to you.
However, both cars have their upsides, so a test drive is the best way to choose the right option. For your convenience, here’s a quick breakdown of the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime vs the Prius:
Toyota Prius Prime
  • Engine: 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor
  • Horsepower and torque: 121 hp and 105 pound-feet of torque
  • Fuel economy: 54 mpg highway, 54 mpg city, 133 MPGe
  • Drivetrain: Front-wheel drive
