Trims and Powertrain
The 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid comes to you in trim grades called SE, XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium. They employ a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that joins forces with Toyota’s exceptional plug-in hybrid system for a total of 220 horsepower. This output is channeled to the front wheels through an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT).
According to the official estimations of the EPA, the SE's fuel economy under hybrid operation reaches 53 mpg in the city and 51 mpg on the highway; the XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium are rated at 50 mpg around town and 47 mpg on the open road. For all-electric driving, the SE can travel up to 44 miles when it’s fully charged, while the other grades are rated for 39 miles. Charging time is approximately 4 hours on a Level 2/240-volt charger or about 11 hours using a standard 120-volt household outlet.
