Solar Panel Equipped Toyota Prius Prime Review

This is the Toyota Prius Prime, the Plug-In hybrid version of the brand new Prius which also happens to be the hottest and most powerful Prius ever, and serves as a sort of long-range version along with cool features like an optional solar panel roof that charges the car when parked and runs accessories like air conditioning while driving improving the car's efficiency, but it also means that technically the roofcould pay for itself with enough time.
All of that comes at a cost, about 5,000 more than the standard hybrid at every trim level, with a starting price of just under $33,000.
The Prime is powered by the same 2.0 liter four-cylinder hybrid producing 220 horsepower paired with Toyota eCVT, which isnt really a CVT, and is only offered as a front-wheel drive model, no all-wheel drive here, as the battery packs have been changed underneath the car but that change also results in 44 miles of EV only range, a huge improvement over the standard Prius and will run 0-60 in 6.5 seconds.
The Prius Prime features seating for 5 with heated and ventilated power front seats, optional heated rear seats, apple carplay and Android Auto, and more.
