7 Innovative Features of the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid

Are you thinking about upgrading to an energy-efficient vehicle this year? Check out our top reasons why the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is a winner and where to take one on a test drive near you.

1. Single-Zone Climate Control with Pollen Filtration 

A single-zone climate control system allows drivers to quickly adjust temperature settings for the entire car at once. Plus, the additional pollen filtration feature helps keep fine dust and debris particles out of your cabin air to help you breathe easier behind the wheel.

2. Smart Key System 

The 2025 Prius Plug-In Hybrid also comes with a Smart Key System on the driver door that allows you to lock, unlock, and start the car remotely. The sophisticated key fob also has a panic button that immediately starts the car alarm when pushed, so you can alert other people nearby to your presence if necessary.

3. Heated Power Folding Side Mirrors 

Ohio can get cold and snowy in the winter, making heated power folding side mirrors on this year’s hybrid Prius incredibly helpful. Not only do these melt stubborn ice when you defrost your windows, they can also be manually folded in to help you fit into tight parking spaces.

4. Rain-Sensing Variable Intermittent Windshield Wipers 

The base trim of the Toyota Prius comes equipped with rain-sensing windshield wipers that turn on automatically when water droplets are detected by an infrared sensor mounted behind the windshield. This enables the wipers to change speeds to accommodate increases or decreases in precipitation. The wipers are also designed to pause intermittently between wipes to help reduce smearing.

5. Smartphone Charging and Infotainment 

Drivers and passengers have plenty of places to stay charged with six USB-C ports placed strategically in the front, in the center console, and in the rear. There’s also an 8.0-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

6. Fast Charging 

When you need charging flexibility, the Prius delivers with the ability to charge on either a 120V or 240V charger. It takes 11 hours for a full charge from empty on a 120V charger, while using a 240V setup can get you up and running in just 4 hours.

7. Excellent Safety Features 

The Hybrid Prius boasts several safety features that are worth noting, including: 

• Front Cross-Traffic Alert (FCTA) 
• Lane Change Assist (LCA) 
• Safe Exit Alert (SEA) 
• Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) 
• Hill Start Assist Control (HAC) 
• Vehicle Proximity Notification System (VPNS) 
• Toyota SafetySense 3.0 with Star Safety System
