For twenty years, the Toyota Prius has been closely associated with the word “hybrid,” remaining the go-to choice for drivers seeking outstanding fuel economy and easy driving experience, hatchback functionality, and solid dependability. With the well-founded reliability and practicality of a Swiss Army knife, consumers have trusted this vehicle for decades.
There isn’t a vehicle with a more substantial reputation for fuel efficiency than the 2021 Toyota Prius, EPA-estimated 58 city and 53 highway mpg rating. Drivers and passengers will enjoy a spacious cargo space, as well as an index of standard features, making each drive better than the last.
While we might see more efficient vehicles, those same vehicles usually require a plug to charge batteries. With the standard Prius, attaining 50 mpg is as simple as getting behind the driver’s wheel and driving. Here’s what you can expect from the 2021 Toyota Prius Hatchback:
