2015 TOYOTA PRIUS PERSONA SERIES: FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2015 Toyota Prius Persona Series is presented as a comprehensive review, highlighting its aerodynamic design and impressive fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 51 MPG city, 48 MPG highway, and 50 MPG combined, translating to a remarkable 595-mile range. The Persona Series distinguishes itself with unique styling cues, including 17-inch dark metallic alloy wheels and turn signal indicators integrated into the bodywork, along with exclusive black soft-tex leather seating with contrasting stitching. While the interior offers practical features like a waterfall dash for extra storage and a 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, the reviewer notes the material quality is largely hard-touch plastic, though fit and finish are acceptable. The infotainment system, while functional, uses an older version of Toyota's InTune. The reviewer also points out the standard six-speaker audio system on lower trims, with an upgrade to a JBL GreenEdge system on higher trims. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample rear legroom and headroom, and 21.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The car offers distinct drive modes (EV, Eco, Power) and a backup camera with an accompanying beep. Overall, the Persona Series offers a unique aesthetic and the core Prius efficiency, but compromises on interior material richness compared to higher trims.
