4 Innovative Features of the 2025 Toyota Prius

As the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle, the Prius is the original hybrid innovator. Now, the 2025 Toyota Prius continues to innovate with exciting features that add capability, safety, and convenience to every drive.

4 Innovative Features of the 2025 Toyota Prius

1. Efficiency and Performance, Combined

With decades of experience behind them, Toyota’s engineers continue to innovate to make hybrid technology more powerful and efficient than ever. The Prius showcases this innovation with its EPA-estimated efficiency of up to 57 MPG combined with 194 net horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph speed of 7.2 seconds. Available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive gives the Prius 196 net horsepower with a 7.0-second 0 to 60 mph time and efficiency of up to 54 MPG combined.

2. Remote Connect

With the included 1-year subscription to Remote Connect, you don’t have to be in or near your Prius to lock the doors or start the engine. Open the Toyota app, and you can remotely perform these tasks from nearly anywhere. You’ll also receive a notification if you’ve left a door unlocked or a window open. You can even locate your Prius’s parked location, activate the horn and hazard lights, and monitor guest and teen drivers.

3. Top-Mount Gauge Cluster

Inside its five-passenger cabin, the Prius has thoughtfully placed controls and displays, like the top-mount gauge cluster that’s located above the steering wheel for easier viewing. All your important driving information is visible on the 7-inch LCD, and you can even customize the information you want to see, like outside temperature, fuel economy, and a trip timer. There’s also an 8-inch touchscreen that controls audio and vehicle settings and connects to your phone with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

4. Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

Once you try the Prius’ Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), you’ll never want to go back to normal cruise control again. Like cruise control, DRCC allows you to set a highway cruising speed, but it also uses its sensors to adapt to traffic conditions. If the vehicle ahead is driving at a slower pace or suddenly slows down, this system can adjust your speed to maintain a safe distance, even bringing your Prius to a stop if needed.

These features are just the beginning of the Prius’ exciting innovations. To find out more and schedule your test drive, reach out to our sales team at Phil Meador Toyota in Pocatello, ID.
