The 2020 Toyota Prius continues to be a leader in the hybrid world. Its Hybrid Synergy Drive system combines the output of a 1.8L 4-cylinder gasoline engine and two motor-generators through an electronically controlled planetary-type CVT, resulting in an EPA-estimated 56 mpg (L Eco grade). Front-wheel drive models use a lithium ion battery, while AWD-e versions employ a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery, which provides excellent battery performance in cold-weather conditions. All 2020 models now come equipped with standard Toyota Safety Sense P and upgraded audio with Apple CarPlay® and Amazon Alexa® compatibility.
