The best of electric and hybrid driving

The 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is an easy choice to enjoy the benefits of electric driving without worrying where your next charge will come from. The fifth-generation plug-in hybrid system pairs a 2.0L engine with an electric motor to give you 220 horsepower and a 0-100km/hr speed in just 6.8 seconds.

The Prius Plug-In Hybrid can also travel up to 962 km on a full tank of gas and a fully charged battery, so you'll spend less time stopping for fuel and more time enjoying the drive.

Go further on electric power

The biggest advantage of the Prius Plug-In Hybrid is its ability to handle everyday driving using electricity alone. With up to 72 km of all-electric range (over 50% more than the previous generation), many daily commutes, grocery runs, and school drop-offs around the city can be completed without using any gas.

Toyota also placed the lithium-ion battery underneath the rear seats, so you don't lose valuable cargo space. That means you still have plenty of room for groceries, luggage, or gear while enjoying the added efficiency of plug-in hybrid tech.

Design Features

Sporty looks that turn heads

The Prius Plug-In may look a lot different than what most people think of when they think Prius. The newer, sporty look brings a lower and wider stance with a sleek and modern style.

Built on Toyota's TNGA-C platform, the latest Prius sits lower, wider, and slightly longer than the previous generation. The result is a lower centre of gravity that helps improve handling while giving the car a more planted, confident feel on the road. Available 19-inch alloy wheels complete the athletic look while adding even more confidence when you're cruising through Edmonton or heading out on the highway.

What is the difference between the Toyota Prius Hybrid and Prius Plug-In Hybrid?

The 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid has a larger battery that can be charged externally and provides up to 72 kilometres of all-electric driving, allowing many Edmonton drivers to complete their daily commute without using any gasoline.

Yes. The 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid can travel up to 72 kilometres on electric power alone when the battery is fully charged, making it possible for many daily trips around Edmonton to be completed without using gasoline. Once the battery's electric range is depleted, the vehicle automatically switches to its hybrid system, so you can continue driving without needing to stop and recharge.

How long does it take to charge the 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid?

Charging times depend on the type of charger you use.

For many Edmonton drivers, charging at home overnight is the simplest and most convenient option.

Where can I charge the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid in Edmonton?

In addition to charging at home, Edmonton has a growing network of public charging stations located at shopping centres, recreation facilities, workplaces, hotels, and along major travel routes.

Find your closest charging station here.
