Reader Review: 2017 Toyota Prius v

Fourth-gen hybrid defies seasoned Calgary driver's preconceived notions

CALGARY — Toyota’s Prius has been on Canadian roads for 16 years, but that doesn’t mean everyone has experienced hybrid technology. That’s why Calgarian Tim Hoy, a seasoned driver with no previous exposure to hybrid vehicles, wanted to spend a week with the 2017 Toyota Prius v. In Toyota parlance, that “v” indicates versatility in the hybrid crossover vehicle, with seating for five and a large cargo area.

5 Cool Things About the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime

Next month Toyota’s 2017 Prius Prime plug-in hybrid will go on sale in dealers as the premier product within the Prius line.

Based on the Prius Liftback with 1.8-liter engine and Toyota’s “Hybrid Synergy Drive” along with 8.8-kWh battery and limited-range all-electric drive capability, the car is the follow-up improvement to the 2012-2015 Prius Plug-in Hybrid.

In green car circles, that original PHV met with mixed reviews for a relatively short EPA-rated electric range. That said, while sold in only 15 U.S. states, it still managed to globally rise as high as third best seller a couple years ago among all plug-in cars.
