Toyota Prius (2025) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent driving dynamics with responsive steering and composed handling	Limited 284-litre boot capacity, roughly half the size of the Corolla Touring Sports
Strong 220bhp plug-in hybrid powertrain with 6.8-second 0-62mph time	Shorter electric range than some rivals affects company car tax competitiveness
10-year warranty when serviced with Toyota, and legendary brand reliability	Sloped roofline compromises rear headroom despite decent legroom

Quick Summary

The 2025 Toyota Prius marks the fifth generation of this iconic hybrid, now exclusively a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in the UK. It combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 220bhp, achieving 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds. The 13.6kWh battery offers an official 53 miles of electric range (real-world 40-45 miles). Starting around £38,000, it competes with other PHEV hatchbacks and SUVs. While its 284-litre boot is modest and the sloping roofline compromises rear headroom, its longer wheelbase improves legroom.

Unexpectedly, the new Prius delivers genuinely enjoyable driving dynamics with responsive steering, composed handling, and brisk acceleration. The powertrain is refined, and real-world efficiency is impressive, with over 80mpg achievable with regular charging, and 50-60mpg when running as a normal hybrid after EV range is depleted. Charging takes about four hours from a home wallbox. The cabin boasts improved build quality and user-centric design, making it a well-equipped and comfortable car, though heated seats are reserved for the top Excel trim.

Best for: Drivers seeking a genuinely fun-to-drive and efficient plug-in hybrid that stands out stylistically, and those who value Toyota's legendary reliability.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum boot capacity or generous rear headroom, or company car drivers seeking the longest possible electric range for tax benefits.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Prius if: You're seeking a genuinely fun-to-drive and efficient plug-in hybrid that stands out stylistically, or you value Toyota's legendary reliability.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum boot capacity, generous rear headroom, or require significantly longer electric range for company car tax benefits.

Competitive Position: The Toyota Prius (2025) has been transformed into a genuinely enjoyable driver's car, offering strong performance and impressive efficiency for a plug-in hybrid. While its boot space and rear headroom are not class-leading, and some rivals offer longer electric ranges for company car tax purposes, its engaging driving dynamics, sharp styling, and legendary Toyota reliability make it a compelling choice for buyers seeking something beyond the typical SUV.
