2021 Toyota Prius Prime in Salisbury, MD
The 2021 Toyota Prius Prime is an excellent choice for the fuel-conscious among us. While perhaps its primary strength lies in its great gas mileage, the 2021 Prius Prime also comes loaded with an intimidating lineup of driver assists, along with a comfortable cabin to spend time in. It also looks like a spaceship.
The Prius Prime is the plug-in hybrid variation of the Prius; it’s the only version of the model that has such a powertrain. It boasts a lot of similarities to the standard Prius, though it does have less cargo room. It shares with its brethren that uniquely (and, dare we say, beautifully) weird Prius flair.
While the 2021 Toyota Prius does not care much for trifling matters like speed or acceleration, it does boast a truly wild EPA-rated fuel economy and can drive in electric-only mode for a full 25 miles. The whole package is sure to be impressively reliable, as one would expect of a Toyota. All of these factors help to make the 2021 Toyota Prius Prime perfect for an eco-friendly lifestyle.
