2012 Prius PHEV - Winner of the RAC Future Car Challenge

With no Chevrolet Volt?s or Opel Ampera?s on hand, the Prius PHEV wins best overall PHEV category without a fight. 2012 Toyota Prius PHEV ? 15-miles of AER, 87 MPGe and 49 mpgUS combined on our very own EPA. Preliminary figures but still good ones! Joining the standard and very fuel efficient third-generation and all-new Prius v, the new Prius PHEV combines the benefits of the standard Prius model?s superlative hybrid vehicle operation with a short range extended electric vehicle (EV) operation that is far more affordable than the LEAF and Volt.
