The 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid (formerly Prius Prime) offers the best balance of electric and overall range. It provides 45 miles of electric-only range and an EPA-estimated total range of 600 miles using both gas and electric power, setting a new benchmark for PHEVs.
For those prioritizing longer EV range within a shorter total range:
- Toyota Prius Prime (listed as 45 miles EV/total unspecified, though earlier models achieved ~492 miles total)
- Toyota RAV4 Prime: 42 miles EV/492 miles total
- Volvo XC90 Recharge: 29 miles EV/549 miles total
- Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: 25–32 miles EV/565 miles total
The Prius Plug-In’s combination of 600-mile total range and competitive EV range makes it the leader in balancing these metrics. For shorter commutes, the Kia Niro PHEV (34 miles EV/48 mpg hybrid) is a cost-effective alternative.
