The Prius crossover redefines hybrid expectations with style and efficiency.
The 2026 Toyota Prius crossover emerges from the shadows of its predecessors with a bold new look and a commitment to fuel economy that remains unmatched. With its gas/electric I-4 engine, delivering 194 horsepower and an impressive 52 mpg both in the city and on the highway, this Prius is as much a statement piece as it is a practical choice.
What truly surprised us was how the Prius handles on the road. The improved driving dynamics make it agile enough for winding canyon roads, while the AWD system adds confidence when the weather turns gloomy. However, a firm ride and limited rear visibility might pose challenges for some, especially in urban settings.
If you're the eco-conscious driver who refuses to compromise on style and efficiency, the Prius crossover deserves a spot on your shortlist. Just be prepared to deal with some minor road noise and a few cheap interior bits.
