The 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV Presented by Dublin Toyota

Undergoing a revolutionary redesign just two years ago, the 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV continues to turn heads with its sleek, sculpted exterior and aerodynamic silhouette. The interior remains impressively modern, featuring an ergonomic layout and refined materials that make every drive comfortable and intuitive. Drivers across Livermore, Castro Valley, San Ramon, and Pleasanton will appreciate how this plug-in hybrid combines futuristic design with exceptional eco-friendly performance. Previously known as the Prius Prime, with its advanced plug-in hybrid system, the 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV delivers up to 80 miles of all-electric range, making daily commutes entirely gas-free for many drivers. When operating in hybrid mode, it achieves an impressive estimated 52 mpg combined, providing outstanding fuel economy on longer trips. Under the hood, a robust 220-horsepower powertrain offers responsive acceleration and confident highway passing, nearly doubling the horsepower of previous Prius Prime models. In this review of the 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV, Dublin Toyota explores its range capabilities, powertrain specs, interior highlights, and trim levels, including the well-equipped XSE Premium, so you can decide if this stylish, electrified hatchback fits your efficient and modern lifestyle.

Engine Specs and MPG Ratings

Every 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV model for sale at our Dublin dealership comes equipped with an advanced 220-horsepower hybrid powertrain system, combining a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine that produces 150 horsepower with a robust 161-horsepower electric motor-generator. This setup is paired with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT) that sends power to the front wheels, resulting in a quick 0-60 mph time of just 6.6 seconds, a dramatic improvement from earlier models that took nearly ten seconds. An electric range of 44 miles can be expected thanks to the lithium-ion battery pack, and when relying on both electric motors and the engine, drivers can expect 52 mpg city/highway combined. Drivers can tailor their Prius PHEV experience with three distinct powertrain modes: EV Mode, which prioritizes all-electric driving until the battery is depleted and then resumes electric operation once recharged, Auto Mode where the system automatically decides between electric and hybrid power for optimal efficiency, and finally Hybrid Mode, which blends both power sources seamlessly for standard operation. On top of that, four selectable driving modes adjust regenerative braking, throttle response, and climate control settings to match your preferences. Normal Mode balances all functions for everyday driving, Eco Mode enhances fuel efficiency by increasing regeneration and reducing climate output, Sport Mode sharpens accelerator response for a more engaging drive, and Custom Mode allows you to set each parameter to your personal liking.

Interior Highlights

Step inside the 2025 Toyota Prius PHEV, for sale now on our lot in Dublin, and you’re welcomed into a refined, driver-focused interior that elevates comfort and modern usability. For this model year, Toyota continues with its clean dashboard design, featuring separated digital driver and infotainment screens, both angled for optimal visibility. The dash layout showcases a sleek wraparound design with an elegant thin metallic accent and integrated LED lighting strip that divides the upper and lower sections, adding a sophisticated touch to the cabin atmosphere. The standard 8-inch infotainment screen sits prominently in the center, while higher trims upgrade to a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a premium JBL audio system for an immersive listening experience. Across all trims, drivers benefit from six USB-C ports and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility to keep everyone connected with ease. Comfort is prioritized with bolstered front bucket seats that provide excellent support for daily commutes or longer trips, while rear passengers enjoy a 60/40-split folding bench with adjustable seatback recline for improved comfort. As a sedan-style hatchback, the 2025 Prius PHEV offers impressive cargo versatility, providing 20.3 cubic feet of storage behind the rear seats, expandable to 26.7 cubic feet when the back seats are folded down, making it practical for both everyday errands and weekend getaways.
