2023 Toyota Prius Prime Is Sleeker Than Ever

There are a few reasons why Toyota has yet to go full electric, and that is because Toyota still wants to focus on hybrid vehicles. The Toyota brand thinks hybrids are cheaper to lower greenhouse gasses and extend battery supplies even more. Even though Toyota still focuses on hybrids, it doesn’t mean they concentrate less on electric vehicles. A popular EV from Toyota right now is the all-electric bZ4X SUV. The Prius is an impressive Toyota hybrid vehicle that has been around for quite some time, and this new model is in its fifth generation. 

The newest Prius model has been significantly upgraded, from its sleeker new look to its up-to-date tech features. This Prius model is accessible in either a standard hybrid or the plug-in Prius Prime and range from $33,445 (plus destination fee) to $40,265 (plus destination fee). If the vehicle runs as a hybrid, it can reach 60 mph in 6.6 seconds. The cargo space is 20.3 cubic feet and can hold the charging cable under the trunk floor mat. Every 2023 Prius Prime will offer comfort, spaciousness, and excellent safety features. 

2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime

A top-rated SUV is the Toyota RAV4 Prime, the first plug-in hybrid from Toyota. Toyota has some of the best PHEV tech and has produced some of the best vehicles, like the Prius Prime and the RAV4 Prime. The RAV4 Prime has an excellent powertrain system, and it comes in strong as a competitor for the smaller SUV category with the RAV4. The RAV4 also has a great fuel economy, including an electric motor to improve its power. 

An electric motor inside the Toyota RAV4 Prime will produce more power and allow the car to travel further without dealing with gas. Another great perk of this vehicle is that it gives customers who want a more eco-friendly car but need more time to fully commit to an all-electric vehicle. This smaller in size SUV still produces an incredible amount of power and gets 302 horsepower. 

The electric motors are to thank for this small plug-in SUV that produces so much power and can accomplish 94 MPGe. The RAV4 Prime can travel up to 600 miles using its gas engine, electric motors, and battery. The starting price of the 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is $42,340 MSRP, and it’s worth every penny because people call this vehicle one of the best-selling small plug-in hybrid SUVs out there. 

2023 Toyota bZ4X EV

Introducing the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, which is Toyota’s first fully electric vehicle, and people are super excited about it! This is a five-passenger car and thrives on how spacious the inside is. From an outside view, the exterior design is sleek, stylish, and modern. The starting rate of this new model is $42,000 (plus destination fee). This electric SUV has five exterior colors: Wind Chill Pearl, Supersonic Red, Heavy Metal, Elemental Silver Metallic, and Black.

The bZ4X will come with cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Having a vehicle with lane-keeping assist is a safe way to prevent the driver from drifting into a different lane. There is an X-Mode (which was designed by the Subaru brand), but Toyota does own a portion of it and has installed it in this new vehicle. This mode helps people who live in more extreme climates. The bZ4X’s X-Mode allows any driver to be more particular about what the car is driving through. 

In case the information above isn’t convincing enough that this EV is a fantastic car, here are a few more reasons that might be convincing. In the front-wheel-drive model, the electric engine gets 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. A 12.3-inch touch screen comes with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa Connectivity.
