If you thought the Prius was all about saving gas and humming along quietly, think again. The latest generation of the Toyota Prius is evolving into something far more compelling — and it might just be the “hottest” Prius ever built.
From the get‑go, the 2025 Prius steps up its game with a redesigned body that finally shakes off the “eco‑box” image. Exterior changes include sharper lines, a sporty stance, and the new Nightshade Edition trim bringing 19‑inch black‑finished alloys and exclusive Karashi colour options. autonationtoyotatempe.com+2Car and Driver+2
Power‐wise, Toyota hasn’t held back. The new generation hybrid system mated to a 2.0‑litre petrol engine delivers up to 196 net combined horsepower depending on configuration. autonationtoyotatempe.com+1 That means the Prius is no longer just ultra‐efficient—it can move. In fact, tests show a 0‑60 mph time of about 7.1 seconds for some trims. Car and Driver
Efficiency remains at the forefront. The base front‑wheel‐drive Prius still boasts an EPA‑estimated 57 mpg combined, showing that performance and fuel economy aren’t mutually exclusive here. Car and Driver+1
Inside, you’ll find a cabin that blends tech and polish. A large touchscreen (up to 12.3 inches in higher trims) and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto support make it modern and connected. autonationtoyotatempe.com
