Lethalstrike Turbocharged November 17, 2022 Share November 17, 2022 94km electric only range, provided u keep your speeds below 50km/h. Go above 50km/h and engine will kick in for Toyota/Lexus hybrids 😁 But good car for taxi lau to idle or cruise at low speeds while hunting for passengers ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For PHEVs, they have a bigger battery and will behave like an EV until the battery is exhausted. Of course 94km e-range is only possible in ideal conditions. NSHW at 160kmh probably only 30km. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah shit, I didn't read properly. 94km is only for the PHEV drivetrain, not the usual parallel hybrid with only regenerative braking. So I guess the electric only range of the parallel hybrid version is unlikely to be 94km, should be much less.

I drove Prius rental (4G) in Japan before, wow in their road conditions, I got 26km/l over 5 days.... amazing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full EV mode will only work when the battery is sufficiently charged and the demand on power is low. PHV drivers love the Prius for its fuel efficiency. I rented a Prius 4G in Okinawa and was wowed by its parsimony and its ride and handling capabilities. Then I bought a used GS450h a few months later. Hehe! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe! in 2019, I did <1100 km in victoria in a camry hybrid with about 7/8th tank. The 5th gen prius only has marginal gas mileage improvement over old generation. 57 instead of old 56mpg under EPA standards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
