Find your perfect Prius

The Toyota Prius is more appealing than ever and this latest version is the best we’ve tested. It’s quieter and rides more comfortably than a VW Golf eHybrid, plus it remains fuel-efficient even with a depleted battery. However, rear passenger space is tight and the Golf eHybrid is a better company car option thanks to its much longer electric-only range. The cheaper entry-level Design trim is likely to be the best choice.

This is the top-spec version of the Prius and it adds 19in alloy wheels, ventilated front seats, a digital rear-view mirror and a powered tailgate.

The Prius is powered by a 2.0-litre petrol engine and an electric motor that combine to produce 220bhp. That’s enough for an official 0-62mph time of 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 109mph.
