The success of the RAV4 Prime shows Toyota should have made performance hybrids a long time ago. There is no reason to saddle PHEVs with weak motors. The promise of electrification is performance AND economy in the same vehicle.

302 hp, 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds, 38 mph in gas mode.


Why does the Prius Prime struggle to get to 60 mph in 11 seconds !?!
