Toyota is actively working on the next generation 2016 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid. Compared to the 2015 Toyota Prius, the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid lets the car drive solely on electric power for a limited time before switching to a blend of electric and gas performance. If you are curious about the current generation of the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid, this is the time to get behind the wheel!
The automaker recently announced they would stop production of the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid as they ramp up for the next generation. 2016 hybrids will likely start showing up towards the end of this year or early in 2016. Not much is known so far about the upcoming model, but Toyota has said they want to focus more on styling. Currently the 2015 Toyota Prius and 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid have the same styling and that’s expected to change.
Since the current 2015 Toyota hybrid is halting production next month, this is one of your last chances to get behind the wheel before the next generation comes out. The current hybrid is powered by a 1.8L four-cylinder engine supplemented by two different electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack. A continuously variable transmission produces a total 134 hp from all sources.
It takes about 90 minutes to fully charge the 2015 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid using a 240-volt power outlet or about three hours with a standard 120-volt outlet. When fully charged, the car can drive around 11 miles solely on electric battery. Once that charge is exhausted, drivers can still take advantage of the hybrid powertrain thanks to a regenerative braking system that helps to recharge the battery. Fuel economy is estimated at 51 mpg city and 49 mpg highway.
