Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

The 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is powered by a 220-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive (FWD). This makes the Prius PHEV more fun to drive than you might imagine, with a quick 0-60 mph time of six seconds. It’s responsive in city driving between traffic lights and even has decent highway passing muscle.
We’ve found that it’s similarly lively using just the electric motor. So if drivers want to stay in EV mode as much as possible, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid can still deliver an enjoyable experience. A button on the center console enables EV mode or an automatic mode that brings the combustion engine in or out as needed. It’s simple to use.
There’s comfort and composure in equal measure, and we like how the car feels nicely poised. We’d be happy to run commutes and longer trips alike in the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. A more confident initial bite on the brake pedal would be welcome, though.
The cabin is mostly quiet, with just some tire noise coming up while driving over rough surfaces. That’s to be expected since these are special tires with low rolling resistance that contribute to overall fuel economy.
When checking the rearview mirror, the slope of the back window creates a small aperture, so outward vision isn’t great. The top XSE Premium trim offers the option of a digital rearview mirror for a much clearer and wider view behind. It’s a shame it’s not available with lower trims, but at least blind-spot monitoring is standard.
<h3>Fuel Economy and Range</h3>
In the base SE trim, the amazingly efficient Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid goes up to 45 miles on a full charge. With a depleted battery, it returns 52 combined mpg. In the XSE and XSE Premium trims, those numbers drop to 40 miles of all-electric range and 48 combined mpg with an empty battery. The EPA estimates that the difference in monthly fuel costs is only about $4, so don’t feel bad about springing for one of the upper trims.
The electric range, efficiency ratings, and fuel costs of the Toyota Prius PHEV are all better than the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid. The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is simply one of the most efficient vehicles with a gas engine that money can buy.

Sleek Exterior

Exterior

With this latest generation, the Prius makes an entirely different statement than earlier models. It’s really sleek and seems as if it should hover just above the ground and hum quietly — as opposed to making any kind of typical engine noise. We think the Prius is cool now.
Visual differences between the PHEV and the regular Prius are much subtler this time around. That’s fine by us. Compared with the previous generation, the body is lower by a couple of inches, an inch wider, and an inch longer.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

45-mile electric range 
The ability to travel up to 45 miles on electricity alone means the average American can potentially go weeks without burning any gas. Just plug in overnight, and you’ll have enough juice for daily driving duties, but the gas engine is there for when you need to go farther.
Infotainment systems 
Excellent tech throughout the Prius Plug-in Hybrid lineup includes wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as standard, six USB-C ports, and decent-sized touchscreens. Voice control, wireless charging, and over-the-air updates are also available.
Proactive Driving Assist 
A standard feature. When cornering, it detects any vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians that might be up ahead, then activates minor steering and throttle adjustments to optimize safety.
Traffic Jam Assist 
This is available with a Drive Connect trial or subscription. At speeds up to 25 mph, the system can operate the throttle, brakes, and steering — as long as the driver is still concentrating on the road ahead.
Digital Key 
By recognizing an authorized phone, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid allows access as well as functions like remote locking/unlocking. This is optional in the XSE, standard in the XSE Premium.
Solar glass roof 
Solar panels in the roof help charge the battery when the Prius Plug-in Hybrid is parked, or add extra power to run things like climate control while on the move. This is another option for the XSE Premium model.

High-Tech Interior

Interior

Toyota used to lean into the weirdness of the Prius by putting all of the gauges in the middle of the dashboard. With the most recent generation, we’re grateful that the driver information display is now in front of the driver. It’s a little thing, but existing Prius owners upgrading to the newest generation will appreciate it.
Elsewhere, there are clean lines and pleasing shapes. The whole thing looks and feels a cut above typical Toyotas. The infotainment touchscreen is a generous size, while the aerodynamic exterior results in low levels of wind noise in the cabin. The only real downside is an under-padded center armrest. Since this is pricier than the average compact hybrid, we expect a little more from the interior quality.
Rear passenger space in the 2025 Prius PHEV remains the same as the regular Prius — a bit tight for average-sized adults, but not unbearable. The hatchback style is useful for carrying larger items, and there’s 20.3 cubic feet of luggage space behind the rear seats —  easily enough for three sets of golf clubs.
If cargo-carrying is a serious consideration, check out the more SUV-like Kia Niro PHEV with 54.6 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded. The Prius Plug-in Hybrid only has 26.7 cubic feet.

KBB Editors' Overview

The Toyota Prius has historically been something of a compromise. If you wanted the best fuel economy, you paid the price of pokey performance and, shall we say, unconventional styling. The 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) removes the compromises from the Prius formula and delivers incredible efficiency, sleek styling, and even a fun driving experience. This PHEV is both more efficient and more powerful than the Prius powered by a conventional hybrid powertrain (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius/">reviewed separately</a>); this one can travel up to 45 miles on electricity alone. Meanwhile, it carries the Prius’ other virtues of excellent safety ratings, outstanding resale value, and the reliability you expect from a Toyota.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/phev/best-phev-cars/">PHEV cars</a>, including the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid.

The closest rival to the Prius Plug-in Hybrid is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/niro-plug-in-hybrid/">Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid</a> which is priced very similarly. The Prius Plug-in Hybrid is pricier than rivals that use a conventional hybrid powertrain, like the hybrid versions of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-hybrid/">Honda Civic</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-hybrid/">Hyundai Elantra</a>.
Before buying a Prius Plug-in Hybrid, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid resale value is excellent for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Range and Charging

Under the Hood

A 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine is augmented by an electric motor to send a total of 220 horsepower to the front wheels. It travels up to 45 miles on electricity alone and a whopping 600 miles when the battery and gas tank are both full. These range ratings decrease a bit in the XSE and XSE Premium trims: 40-mile all-electric range, 550-mile total range.
Charging the battery takes about four hours using a 240-volt supply or 11 hours on a diet of 120 volts from a typical household outlet. That means you can get by without having an expensive Level 2 charging unit installed in your garage; just use the regular outlet and you’ll usually have enough electric power for gas-free daily driving duties.
More Prius Plug-in Hybrid efficiency information is available on the <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA’s website</a>.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Toyota has a new-car warranty of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. This is all typical for the mainstream category. The warranty for hybrid-related components is eight years or 100,000 miles. And the hybrid battery is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Two years or 25,000 miles of free routine maintenance is also included.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
This generation of Prius has received the accolade of Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) and the top 5-Star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, plus front cross-traffic alert and intersection assistance.

What's new for 2025

Aside from a name change, this hybrid hatchback rolls into the 2025 model year unchanged. It’s dropped the &#8220;Prime&#8221; branding from its name and now just goes by Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid.

The full-size, 3-row Ford Expedition MAX is the blue oval’s biggest, most family-friendly SUV, and it’s all-new for 2025.

<ul>
<li>Pricey upper trims</li>
<li>No Tremor trim</li>
<li>Steering wheel has a learning curve</li>
</ul>

Although the Ford Expedition MAX has entered a new generation, it carried over the turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 engine that powered the previous generation. However, the new standard tuning makes 400 horsepower, and it’s upgradeable to 440 horsepower. A 10-speed automatic transmission sends output to the rear or all four wheels.
The 2025 Ford Expedition MAX provides plentiful power, even with a full load of passengers and a boat in tow. The base 400-horsepower engine is more than adequate for daily driving duties, but the enthusiast in us loves the extra 40 horsepower in the high-output tuning that&#8217;s optional in the Platinum trim. That extra boost in power makes a big difference when sprinting on an on-ramp or passing on the highway.
The Expedition&#8217;s handling is a little sharper than we expect for such a big SUV, especially with the optional sport suspension system that comes with the Stealth Performance package. With the standard suspension, this drives like the big truck that it is, which is typical for this class. Taking a sharp turn too fast can result in some predictable body roll. However, this is a truck made for devouring miles on the highway, and it&#8217;s perfectly engineered for that task, especially when equipped with the BlueCruise hands-free highway driving system. Smooth, comfortable, and powerful, the Expedition drives exactly like a full-size SUV should.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
There&#8217;s no EPA rating specifically for the Expedition MAX, but the regular Expedition gets 16 city/24 highway/19 combined mpg with rear-wheel drive. Subtract one from each of those numbers for the 4-wheel drive models.
These fuel economy ratings are about average for this class, but the diesel versions of the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon XL are more efficient. The Jeep Wagoneer L, also powered by a turbo 6-cylinder, is about as efficient as the Expedition MAX. The fact that this Ford runs on regular-grade gas helps keep the fuel costs manageable, the optional 6.2-liter V8 in its GM rivals requires premium.

Imposing Exterior

The exterior design of the Ford Expedition MAX strikes a nice balance of modern and traditional. It’s satisfyingly boxy, but a handsome light signature and stylish wheels make it look modern. The look changes quite a bit throughout the lineup; the Active is humble yet stylish, the Platinum looks fancy, and the King Ranch is like a cowboy wearing his Sunday best.
The Ford Split Gate is a new, unique exterior feature of the Ford Expedition MAX. This class-exclusive split liftgate has a clamshell design, with the bottom part folding down like a truck’s tailgate. That means you can open the hatch from the driver’s seat and not worry about a bottle of wine rolling out and smashing on the garage floor. A Cargo Tailgate Manager option integrates a serving table and a backrest for the split gate, making the Expedition MAX the ultimate tailgating SUV.

Ford Split Gate 
The Ford Split Gate makes the Expedition MAX the only full-size SUV in its class with a split tailgate. We love the convenience and versatility it brings to this family SUV.
Towing muscle 
The Ford Expedition MAX is among the best in its class when it comes to towing. With a max tow rating of up to 9,600 pounds, it’s ready and willing to pull boats, campers, and a wide range of other toys.
BlueCruise 
BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving system, and it’s one of our favorites. It allows for safe and relaxed hands-off-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road driving on over 130,000 miles of North American highways. It’s standard on the King Ranch and optional on all other trims.
Ford Digital Experience 
The Ford Digital Experience consists of a 24-inch panoramic display working in concert with a 13.2-inch central infotainment display. Wireless smartphone connectivity, crisp graphics, and a user-friendly interface make for a pleasant experience.
360-degree zone lighting 
A nice touch of the Ford Expedition MAX is optional zone lighting all around the exterior of the SUV. It can project light in any direction, which is helpful for setting up a campsite or just lighting the way in a dark parking lot.
Luxury trims 
The Western-inspired King Ranch trim and the fancy Platinum Ultimate package turn the Expedition MAX into a luxury SUV with features like BlueCruise, massaging leather seats, a High-Output engine, and a B&amp;O premium audio system with up to 22 speakers.

Vast Interior

Historically, some full-size SUVs have had interior dimensions that don’t feel so full-size, especially in the third row. However, clever packaging in the Ford Expedition MAX yields a truly massive interior. There’s also plenty of cargo space to boot, and the second- and third-row seats all fold flat, creating an enormous cargo hold with a flat floor. Notably, the legroom in the second or third row doesn&#8217;t change when you spring for the Expedition MAX. However, the longer Expedition serves up 36.1 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. That&#8217;s a 67 percent increase over the standard wheelbase but less cargo space than the Suburban and Wagoneer L.
We can confirm that each of the many seats in the Ford Expedition MAX is adult-friendly. Tilt-and-slide second-row seats make the third row easy to access, and there&#8217;s plenty of room back there with amenities like cupholders and USB-C ports. Even the middle third-row seat has decent width for when you need to use every seat. With a generous 36.5 inches of third-row legroom, the Expedition MAX&#8217;s third-row space is almost identical to the Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon XL, and Jeep Wagoneer L.
Interior materials get nicer as you work your way into pricier trims. All but the base Active trim have leather seats, and the King Ranch model boasts what Ford calls Mesa Del Rio leather with Kingsville stitching. A fully loaded Expedition MAX feels like a luxury SUV inside, but it’s also priced like one.
The new Expedition MAX has a unique screen arrangement. A large 24-inch display is perched on the dash in front of the driver, serving as a digital gauge cluster and a nav screen with a small section that&#8217;s customizable. But that’s not meant to be tapped with your fingers; a more traditional 13.2-inch infotainment display is on the center stack for controlling your maps, music, and other functions. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. We love what Ford calls the Ford Digital Experience, it&#8217;s an excellent execution of multiple big screens that are clear and easy to use. The oval-shaped steering wheel helps to keep it all easy to read.
Speaking of the steering wheel, it comes with a bit of a learning curve. It has two square pads where your thumbs go with haptic controls that can change based on what you&#8217;re trying to do. As you swipe your thumbs on these pads, their functions show up on the screen in front of you so you can manipulate your cruise control and audio. We found this system pretty intuitive, and we like the uncluttered look of the steering wheel, but we know some drivers might prefer a more traditional steering wheel button layout. Also of note, the HVAC and seat climate controls are all on the screen, forgoing physical knobs and switches.

The Ford Expedition MAX has consistently been one of our favorite entries in a competitive class of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/">full-size SUVs</a>, and it earns a spot on our <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-family-cars/">Best Family Cars</a> list. Its vast interior, impressive towing muscle, luxurious options, and surprisingly reasonable fuel costs make it good at just about everything that’s important to families who need one rig that can do it all. The Expedition MAX enters a new generation for 2025 with updated styling inside and out, a clever split liftgate, and the latest in safety and infotainment technology. Load up the whole crew; everyone’s going to enjoy the ride.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of full-size SUVs, including the Ford Expedition MAX.

The Ford Expedition MAX is priced on the higher side of the full-size SUV class, close to a similarly equipped <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/yukon-xl/">GMC Yukon XL</a>. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/suburban/">Chevy Suburban</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/jeep/wagoneer-l/">Jeep Wagoneer L</a> are a bit more affordable.
Before buying an Expedition MAX, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. The Ford Expedition MAX resale value is above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Engine and Transmission

Every 2025 Ford Expedition MAX is powered by a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard tuning produces 400 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque, but a High-Output version is available, making 440 hp and 510 lb-ft of torque. Like all of its rivals, rear-wheel drive is standard, and 4-wheel drive is optional.
<h3>Warranty</h3>
Ford’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are typical terms among mainstream manufacturers.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The new generation of the Ford Expedition got mixed ratings in its crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). It earned the top &#8220;Good&#8221; score in the side test, but &#8220;Marginal&#8221; ratings in the small overlap front and moderate overlap front tests. It has not yet been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Its standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors.

What's new for

The Ford Expedition MAX is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-ford-expedition-gets-new-screen-tech-tremor-model/">fully redesigned</a> for 2025. In addition to the new exterior and interior designs, a few of the highlights of the new generation are a new infotainment system, wider availability of the BlueCruise hands-free driving system (now either optional or standard on every trim), and the class-exclusive Ford Split Gate. Notably, the standard-wheelbase Expedition has a new off-road-ready Tremor trim, but it’s not available with the extended Expedition MAX variant.

Smooth, comfortable, and powerful, the Expedition drives exactly like a full-size SUV should.
We got to test out the Expedition Tremor off-road and came away impressed. Its beefier tires, extra ground clearance, and electronic locking rear differential made traversing muddy trails in its off-road drive mode effortless. It&#8217;s safe to say the Expedition Tremor can handle just about any terrain that the average Ford Expedition owner will encounter, and it will look great doing it.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2025 Ford Expedition is rated at 16 city/24 highway/19 combined mpg with rear-wheel drive. Subtract one from each of those numbers for the 4-wheel drive models.
These fuel economy ratings are about average for this class, but the hybrid Toyota Sequoia and the diesel versions of the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon are more efficient. The Jeep Wagoneer, also powered by a turbo 6-cylinder, is about as efficient as the Expedition. The fact that the Expedition runs on regular-grade gas helps keep the fuel costs manageable, the optional 6.2-liter V8 in its GM rivals requires premium.

Tremor 
The Ford Expedition finally gets the Tremor treatment. Following the lead of the Tremor versions of Ford pickup trucks, the Expedition Tremor has a rugged appearance package, standard 4WD, skid plates, an electronic locking rear differential, and meaty 33-inch all-terrain tires.
BlueCruise 
BlueCruise is Ford’s hands-free highway driving system, and it’s one of our favorites. It allows for safe and relaxed hands-off-the-wheel, eyes-on-the-road driving on over 130,000 miles of North American highways. It’s standard on the King Ranch and optional on all other trims.
Ford Digital Experience 
The Ford Digital Experience consists of a 24-inch panoramic display working in concert with a 13.2-inch central infotainment display. Wireless smartphone connectivity, crisp graphics, and a user-friendly interface make for a pleasant experience.
360-degree zone lighting 
A nice touch of the Ford Expedition is optional zone lighting all around the exterior of the SUV. It can project light in any direction, which is helpful for setting up a campsite or just lighting the way in a dark parking lot.

Wide-Open Spaces

Historically, some full-size SUVs have had interior dimensions that don’t feel so full-size, especially in the third row. However, clever packaging in the Ford Expedition yields a truly massive interior. There’s also plenty of cargo space to boot, and the second- and third-row seats all fold flat, creating an enormous cargo hold with a flat floor. However, cargo space behind the third row is a little tight for such a big SUV. There&#8217;s 21.6 cubic feet of space back there, which is less than the Chevy Tahoe and Jeep Wagoneer.
We can confirm that each of the many seats in the Ford Expedition is adult-friendly. Tilt-and-slide second-row seats make the third row easy to access, and there&#8217;s plenty of room back there with amenities like cupholders and USB-C ports. Even the middle third-row seat has decent width for when you need to use every seat. With a generous 36.5 inches of third-row legroom, the Expedition has a roomier third row than the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon, but it&#8217;s not quite class-leading; that honor goes to the Jeep Wagoneer.
Interior materials get nicer as you work your way into pricier trims. All but the base Active trim have leather seats, and the King Ranch model boasts what Ford calls Mesa Del Rio leather with Kingsville stitching. A fully loaded Expedition feels like a luxury SUV inside, but it’s also priced like one.
The new Expedition has a unique screen arrangement. A large 24-inch display is perched on the dash in front of the driver, serving as a digital gauge cluster and a nav screen with a small section that&#8217;s customizable. But that’s not meant to be tapped with your fingers; a more traditional 13.2-inch infotainment display is on the center stack for controlling your maps, music, and other functions. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard. We love what Ford calls the Ford Digital Experience, it&#8217;s an excellent execution of multiple big screens that are clear and easy to use. The oval-shaped steering wheel helps to keep it all easy to read.
Speaking of the steering wheel, it comes with a bit of a learning curve. It has two square pads where your thumbs go with haptic controls that can change based on what you&#8217;re trying to do. As you swipe your thumbs on these pads, their functions show up on the screen in front of you so you can manipulate your cruise control and audio. We found this system pretty intuitive, and we like the uncluttered look of the steering wheel, but we know some drivers might prefer a more traditional steering wheel button layout. Also of note, the HVAC and seat climate controls are all on the screen, forgoing physical knobs and switches.

The Ford Expedition has consistently been one of our favorite entries in a competitive class of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/">full-size SUVs</a><a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-full-size-suvs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">,</a> and it earns a spot on our <a href="https://www.kbb.com/awards/best-family-cars/">Best Family Cars</a> list. Its vast interior, impressive towing muscle, luxurious options, and surprisingly reasonable fuel costs make it good at just about everything that’s important to families who need one rig that can do it all. The Expedition enters a new generation for 2025 with updated styling inside and out, a new off-road-ready Tremor model, a clever split liftgate, and the latest in safety and infotainment technology. Load up the whole crew; everyone’s going to enjoy the ride.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of full-size SUVs, including the Ford Expedition.

Pricing Notes

Expect the 2025 Ford Expedition to start at around $60,000. We have no reason to think Ford will tinker with the outgoing Expedition’s trim-level lineup. Consequently, our estimated starting price is for the entry-level XL STX and includes the factory-to-dealer delivery fee. Perched atop the trim hierarchy is the Platinum grade with an estimated beginning price of about $86,000. If your tastes run to smaller, we point you to the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/explorer/">Ford Explorer</a> for about $18,000 less. If you want bigger, well, reach for the Expedition Max. It adds overall length to the body and $3,000 to the bottom line.

Engine & Transmission

Every 2025 Ford Expedition is motivated by a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard tuning produces 400 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque, but an available High-Output version makes 440 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. Like all of its rivals, rear-wheel drive (RWD) is standard, and 4-wheel drive (4WD) is optional.
<h3>Warranty</h3>
Ford’s new vehicle warranty lasts three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first. Powertrains are covered for five years or 60,000 miles. These are typical terms among mainstream manufacturers.
<h3>Safety</h3>
The new generation of the Ford Expedition got mixed ratings in its crash testing by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>). It earned the top &#8220;Good&#8221; score in the side test, but &#8220;Marginal&#8221; ratings in the small overlap front and moderate overlap front tests. It has not yet been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Its standard safety features include automatic emergency braking, lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, a 360-degree camera, and parking sensors.

The Ford Expedition is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2025-ford-expedition-gets-new-screen-tech-tremor-model/">fully redesigned</a> for 2025. In addition to the new exterior and interior designs, a few of the highlights of the new generation are a new infotainment system, wider availability of the BlueCruise hands-free driving system (now either optional or standard on every trim), a rugged new Tremor model replacing the old Timberline trim, and the class-exclusive Ford Split Gate.

$28,500 - $33,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

With incredible fuel economy, excellent safety ratings, and great resale value, the Toyota Prius is one of the most practical cars money can buy.

<ul>
<li>Compromised rear headroom</li>
<li>Noisy</li>
</ul>

The 2025 Toyota Prius is powered by a 194-horsepower hybrid 4-cylinder engine matched with a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. There were about 20 years when nobody associated the Prius with a fun driving experience, but that changed when the newest generation came out in 2023. Once notoriously lackadaisical, the Prius can now get a hustle on. It used to take 9.8 seconds to saunter from a standstill to 60 mph — this generation of Prius can manage the dash in a downright lively 7.2 seconds.
Coming back to a halt is similarly impressive. In the early days of hybrids, their regenerative braking systems felt odd compared with conventional cars and took some getting used to. But no one does this better than Toyota. We’ve found the brakes in the Prius to feel natural, smooth, and confident.
The ride is smooth, as is typical for a hybrid. However, also typical for a hybrid, we noticed some droning sounds in our testing. Occasional noisiness is still a necessary tradeoff in a hybrid with a CVT, maximizing fuel economy. The steering requires virtually no effort, which is an asset when maneuvering. The car also feels quite nimble and composed through the corners, yet the ride quality is completely comfortable.
A small rear window hampers outward vision. There is a remedy for this, though. Blind-spot monitoring is standard, and a digital rearview mirror comes with all but the base trim. It shows a clear image of what’s behind the car, courtesy of a rear-facing camera. Technology like this has enabled <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> to push the design envelope unrestricted by small compromises.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 2025 Toyota Prius achieves a remarkable 57 combined mpg (57 city, 56 highway). That’s for the base LE trim with front-wheel drive. For reference, in their most efficient variants, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid gets 54 mpg and the Honda Civic Hybrid gets 49 mpg.
The higher XLE and Limited versions return 52 combined mpg. If all-wheel drive is equipped, the LE is rated at 54 combined mpg, while the XLE and Limited equivalents run to 49 combined mpg.
It’s tempting to go with the base trim since it’s the most efficient, but according to EPA estimates, the difference in monthly fuel costs for the most efficient Prius versus its least efficient variant is only about $12.

It’s always been noticeable to the average bystander that Toyota prioritized efficient aerodynamics over attractive styling with the Prius. However, this newest generation actually looks good without compromising on its slippery aero. The driving character has finally found a favorable balance of verve and efficiency, and the handsome exterior follows suit. It’s a Prius you won’t be embarrassed to drive.

Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto 
Phone integration in a convenient cable-free format comes as standard with every new Prius hybrid.
Infotainment systems 
The base LE has an 8-inch touchscreen. An optional 12.3-inch display is available in the XLE and Nightshade and is standard in the Limited. Six USB-C ports are standard, and the Prius can receive over-the-air upgrades.
All-wheel drive 
For people who live in areas where winter tires are probably a good idea, adding this option brings extra reassurance. Yet fuel economy remains thrifty.
Digital key 
Accessing the Prius can be done by phone. This is optional in the XLE and Nightshade and standard in the Limited, and it enables functions like remote locking/unlocking.
Powered tailgate 
Exclusive to the top Limited trim, a powered rear hatch/tailgate/liftback/whatever-you-want-to-call-it adds a touch of luxury.
Advanced Park 
This is a hands-free parking system for parallel and perpendicular spaces, available as an option in the Limited model.

Practical Interior

Toyota used to lean into the weirdness of the Prius by putting all of the gauges in the middle of the dashboard. With the most recent generation, we’re grateful that the driver information display is now in front of the driver. It’s a little thing, but existing Prius owners upgrading to the newest generation will appreciate it.
The dashboard echoes the car’s front end—clean and modern. We also like the 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen available in the higher trims and the wireless charging location. This spot just ahead of the center armrest is secure and big enough to take the latest crop of giant smartphones with a case.
The low roof means tall adults will argue about who gets to sit up front. The Prius has 36.4 inches of rear headroom and 34.8 inches of rear legroom. If this is a concern, look instead at the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hybrid/">Corolla Hybrid</a> sedan or the even more spacious SUV-like <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/niro/">Kia Niro</a> (hybrid).
It’s a shame that those places where elbows usually come to rest are woefully under-padded. The usual Toyota aversion to using adequate sound deadening is also evident. Road noise blends with the noticeable thrum of the hybrid system.
The cargo space behind the rear seats is decent: 23.8 cubic feet with LE trim and 20.3 cubic feet with XLE and Limited trims. A couple of golf bags will fit with room to spare.

The Toyota Prius name is synonymous with efficiency that’s easy on the environment and the gas budget, but there’s more to the Prius than just excellent fuel economy. When its most recent generation kicked off in 2023, the Toyota Prius retained its virtues as a frugal hybrid hatchback while evolving into a car with peppy acceleration and dashing good looks, two qualities that weren’t exactly strengths of previous Prius generations. It’s even available with all-wheel drive. If shoppers are looking for practical and efficient daily transportation, there’s almost no excuse now to ignore the Toyota Prius.
Reviewed separately, the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/prius-plug-in-hybrid/">Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid</a> is rated to travel up to 45 miles on electricity alone.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hybrid/best-hybrid-cars/">hybrid cars</a>, including the Toyota Prius.

Prius buyers seem to gravitate more to the XLE and Limited grades among the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=475865|475861|475786|475792">four trim levels</a>.
The Toyota Prius has always been priced a little higher than the average compact car, and that remains the case for 2025. When looking specifically at hybrids, the Prius is a little pricier than the hybrid versions of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/corolla-hybrid/">Toyota Corolla</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/elantra-hybrid/">Hyundai Elantra</a>, and it’s priced about the same as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic-hybrid/">Honda Civic Hybrid</a>.
Before buying a Prius, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Toyota Prius resale value is well above average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Every 2025 Toyota Prius is powered by a hybrid powertrain consisting of a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder gas engine and a CVT with a pair of electric motors. Front-wheel drive is standard, and an optional all-wheel-drive system adds another motor to the rear axle. Output is rated at 194 horsepower for FWD models and 196 hp for AWD variants.
More information on Prius&#8217;s fuel economy is available on the <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA’s website</a>.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Toyota’s basic new-car warranty is for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever happens first, with powertrain coverage going for five years or 60,000 miles. These terms are typical among mainstream car companies. Hybrid-related components have a warranty of eight years or 100,000 miles, while the hybrid battery is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles. Toyota also includes two years or 25,000 miles of free maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The latest Toyota Prius hybrid has stellar safety ratings. It has earned the lauded Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) and the top 5-Star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). All Prius models come standard with safety features including forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist detection, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and Lane Tracing Assist.

The Nightshade Edition joins the Prius trim lineup this year. It mostly features black accents, such as exterior badging, 19-inch wheels, door handles, and interior upholstery with gray stitching. The exterior colors are either Midnight Black Metallic or white — Wind Chill Pearl in Toyota-speak.

2025Subaru Forester Hybrid

2025Subaru Forester Hybrid Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid delivers 35 mpg without compromising an ounce of the Forester’s capability or charm.

<ul>
<li>Aging infotainment system</li>
</ul>

From a driving perspective, the newest Forester is the most refined and competitive ever. As is so often the case nowadays, the hybrid version is even more enjoyable to drive than the gas-only model, and perhaps even a tick quicker. The Forester Hybrid responds just a bit more quickly and smoothly to throttle inputs, brake feel is good, and it’s exceptionally quiet inside, even more so than the newly hushed non-hybrid Forester. The segment’s tidiest turning circle helps make tight parking lots more easily navigable.
The Forester Hybrid also maintains the same exceptional ground clearance and robust all-wheel-drive system that have long distinguished the Forester as one of the most capable and adventurous compact SUVs. We climbed a steep and rutted dirt hill that left some other compact SUVs fruitlessly spinning their wheels, the latest demonstration that those Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive badges mean something.
<h3>2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid MPG</h3>
The 2025 Subaru Forester Hybrid is rated to return fuel economy of 35 mpg in combined city and highway driving. That’s better than the gas-only Forester’s 29 mpg, for an EPA-estimated average savings of about $25 per month at the pump. The 2025 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid AWD is a standout at 39 mpg, which works out to a difference of about $12 per month compared to the Forester Hybrid.
