The 2022 Toyota Prius Prime’s Powertrain
The 2022 Prius Prime’s powertrain is made up of a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and two electric motors that combine to produce 121 horsepower. The electric motors are powered by an 8.8 kWh battery. The powertrain setup is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Power goes to the front wheels through the standard front-wheel-drive drivetrain system.
When it comes to charging, the battery can be charged in about two hours with a 240-volt power outlet. The same will take up to 5.5 hours with a regular 120-volt household outlet.
2022 Toyota Prius Prime’s Increased Efficiency
While the powertrain in itself is advanced in its own right, other technological features added to the setup makes it that much more efficient. For instance, when the vehicle is set to EV Auto Mode while driving, it runs on electric power for the most part. In challenging situations like climbing uphill, the vehicle automatically switches to the gasoline engine for more power.
