2024 Toyota Prius PHEV Review
The 2024 Toyota Prius PHEV is a surprisingly compelling package, shedding its 'ugly duckling' image for a sleek, modern design that the revi... moreewer finds stunning. The top-spec XL trim, priced just under £40,000, offers desirable features like 19-inch wheels and heated/ventilated seats. A standout feature is its impressive 53-mile all-electric range, making it a true plug-in hybrid. The interior is praised for its quality, practicality, and significantly improved infotainment system, though the lack of wireless charging is noted as an oversight. Driving dynamics are characterized by exceptional calmness and quietness, outperforming many EVs and luxury cars in cabin insulation. While not a performance car, it offers brisk acceleration (0-60 in 6.8 seconds) and comfortable, smooth progress. Real-world efficiency is a strong point, with the reviewer achieving 50 MPG even after the battery depleted, a figure significantly higher than expected for a PHEV. Downsides include restricted rear legroom and headroom due to the sloping roofline, and a disappointing 284-liter boot space, suggesting a shift away from the traditional taxi/Uber market. Despite these minor drawbacks, the reviewer concludes it's a very clever, efficient, reliable, and enjoyable car that makes the plug-in hybrid concept sensible, highly recommending it. less

Interior quality is praised as a major step up, with excellent material choices, comfortable seating, and a well-integrated dual-screen infotainment system featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The rear cabin is lauded for its spaciousness and thoughtful features, making it competitive with premium rivals. While the plug-in hybrid system offers a respectable 30+ mile electric range and a sensible price premium over standard hybrids, real-world MPG on petrol alone is noted at 38.5 MPG, which is not groundbreaking.

The Seat Mii Electric is presented as a no-nonsense, practical, and exceptionally affordable electric vehicle, ideal as a second car or for urban comm... moreuting. The reviewer highlights its incredibly compact size, making parking effortless, and surprisingly comfortable front seating for adults. However, rear legroom is limited, making it less suitable for longer journeys with more than two adults. The interior is utilitarian, with a basic infotainment system that the reviewer upgraded, but it offers essential features like Bluetooth and DAB radio.

The SE Sport model, as tested, starts around £34,500, with a fully loaded version reaching £43,000, which is acknowledged as strong money but justified by the car's unique proposition and driving enjoyment. The reviewer concludes that it's the best small electric car they've driven, ideal as a fun city car or a second household vehicle, strongly recommending a test drive. less
