Toyota Prius Prime Engine Specifications
Under the hood, the Toyota Prius Prime will sport an inline 4-liter engine with a two-liter capacity like the standard Prius. However, the lithium-ion battery pack will be larger to support an enhanced all-electric driving range. The battery pack will be housed under the back seat, making way for increased luggage capacity.
The car will render 220 HP power that helps the car to hit from 0mph to 60mph in as less as 6.6 seconds. With the battery fully charged, the Toyota will deliver 37 miles of all-electric driving range. It is yet to be known whether the Prime car will be offered as an all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive.
