Having a conventional DOHC design, a 1.8 L gasoline engine is standard in the Prius Prime. All events in the valvetrain are controlled by the patented VVT-i technology. This I-4 engine is paired with an induction system that uses the signature ETCS-i function for optimal efficiency. Sequential multi-point injection is another notable feature in the four-cylinder engine. The plug-in hybrid powertrain also includes an electric motor that produces 600 peak volts. A Lithium-ion traction battery generates supplemental electrical energy under the hood of this Toyota model.
All gear changes are executed by the standard ECVT system that is mated to a front-wheel drive system. Three driving modes are available for the plug-in hybrid system that offers class-leading fuel economy. The EV Mode guarantees a maximum driving range of 25 miles. The ECO Mode burns the ideal amount of gasoline for excellent fuel economy on the highway and on the city streets of San Diego and elsewhere. Additionally, the peak output from the engine is maximized by the POWER Mode. A 240-volt charging system is available for the Prius Prime. It takes approximately 5.5 hours for this charging unit to fully restore the power level in the battery pack before you get back out onto the streets of Oceanside.
