    IIRC, that is about right, driven at least in part by MG1's rpm limit. Similar for my RAV4 Prime. To go faster, the ICE must be fired up, or at least spun up.

    Non-Primes, at least of older generations, had lower ICE-off speed limit thresholds, above which the ICE must spin to protect MG1 from overspeed.

    The 2017 Prime has a lower top speed than the normal 2017. This is due to the lower gear ratio that the prime has.
