Seven years is a long time to go with no significant changes, but that’s how long the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid has sported the same look and battery. The Prius Prime’s 8.8 kWh battery sustains it for 25 miles, but some of its competitors boast a more impressive range.

The Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), aka the Prius Prime, joined the Prius family in 2017. Since then, drivers have enjoyed the electric-only range provided by its rechargeable battery pack, but many are past ready for a power boost—and a facelift.

Rumor has it there’s a redesign on the horizon for the 2023 Prius, which could include a battery upgrade for the Prius Prime PHEV. In the meantime,

How does the Cybertruck’s battery measure up to the competition?

The current Prius PHEV is getting a little long in the tooth, and so is its battery pack. That said, it still stacks up pretty well to its competition in terms of battery size and maximum all-electric driving range. Let’s take a closer look.

Model	Battery capacity	Maximum range
2022 Toyota Prius Prime	8.8 kWh	25 mi
2022 Hyundai Ioniq PHEV	8.9 kWh	29 mi
2022 Kia Niro PHEV	8.9 kWh	26 mi
2022 Subaru Crosstrek PHEV	8.8 kWh	17 mi
2022 MINI Cooper Countryman PHEV	10.0 kWh	18 mi
