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 is the fifth-generation plug-in hybrid hatchback, exclusively offered as a PHEV in the UK. Powered by a 220bhp 2.0-litre engine and electric motor, it achieves 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds and offers up to 53 miles of official electric range. While its 284-litre boot and compromised rear headroom may not appeal to all, its striking design and surprising driving dynamics set it apart in the segment.

This latest Prius delivers a genuinely enjoyable driving experience with responsive steering and composed handling, a significant departure from its predecessors. Technology is modern, featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay. Running costs are highly dependent on charging frequency, with real-world EV range around 40-45 miles and hybrid MPG around 50-60. Priced from around £38,000, it offers a well-built, efficient, and distinctive alternative to conventional PHEV hatchbacks.

Best for: Drivers seeking an efficient, well-built, and genuinely fun-to-drive car that stands out from the SUV crowd, and those who can regularly charge.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum boot space or abundant rear headroom, or those who need a longer electric range for company car tax benefits.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Prius if: You're looking for an efficient, well-built, and genuinely fun-to-drive plug-in hybrid that stands out from the crowd, and you can regularly charge it.

Consider alternatives if: You need maximum boot space or rear headroom, or a longer electric range for company car tax advantages.

Competitive Position: The 2025 Toyota Prius transforms into a surprisingly enjoyable driver's car with sharp styling and a strong 220bhp plug-in hybrid powertrain. While boot space and rear headroom are compromised, its impressive efficiency (when charged), build quality, and engaging driving dynamics make it a compelling choice against rivals like the VW Golf GTE or Cupra Leon e-Hybrid, especially for those seeking something distinct from the SUV market.
