Comparing Toyota Prius Prime alternatives

CarMax produced a roundup, reviewed and distributed by Stacker, comparing the previous-generation Toyota Prius Prime with other PHEVs for used-market buyers.
For buyers unsure about full EVs, PHEVs offer all-electric mileage for short trips plus a gasoline engine for longer drives, easing range anxiety and cutting fuel costs for daily commuters.
Toyota Prius Prime adds an 8.8-kWh battery for about 25 miles of electric range, with Edmunds noting 63.3 mpg and a recharge time of roughly five and a half hours on 120-volt or about two hours on 240-volt, according to statements 13, 9, and 15.
The Chevrolet Volt offers an EPA-estimated 53-mile range, with Edmunds testing reaching over 70 miles, but production ended in 2019 and visibility is a trade-off.
As a budget-minded option, the Hyundai Ioniq PHEV offers roughly 30.3 miles of electric range, 59.3 mpg, and the largest trunk, while the BMW 530e provides 16–21 miles of electric range but sacrifices about 4 cubic feet of cargo space.
