Introduction
The Toyota Prius Plug-In offers those who enjoy the standard Prius the joy of more miles on electric propulsion. Thanks to a larger battery, the Prius Plug-In can travel up to 11 miles on battery power before the traditional concert of its Hybrid Synergy Drive kicks in.
What's New for 2015
The Prius Plug-In is basically unchanged for 2015.
Choosing your Toyota Prius Plug-In
The Plug-In variant is based on the mid-level Prius Three, and the major decision revolves around whether to take the $5,000 jump to the Advanced trim level. Like other top-level Prius trims, it adds leatherette seats and JBL audio, as well as opening up the options sheet to some technology toys.
Base
The Prius Plug-In starts off with a generous roster of equipment that includes heated front seats and the ability to control the interior temperature remotely, backup camera, 15-inch alloy wheels and a navigation system with voice controls and Toyota's Entune suite of apps. For around $30,000, it comes comprehensively equipped for a plug-in hybrid.
Advanced
The Advanced trim, however, takes things up a considerable step. There's a more elaborate navigation screen, now with a 7-inch screen and JBL audio and with apps specific to the plug-in model, as well as a head-up display, Safety Connect telematics and 8-way power driver's seat with a leatherette interior. The available Technology Package includes radar-guided cruise control and a pre-collision system, as well as LED headlights. For those interested in having plenty of gadgets on their Prius, this is the trim to go for.
Advanced has a lot of features, but it's a steep price compared to other plug-ins that have greater range. Stick with the base model, however, and the Prius Plug-In makes more sense.
