2020 Toyota Prius deals

Expect to pay quite a premium for Prius Plug-in motoring over what you'd have to find over the conventional version of that car. We're talking around £8,000. Also making this variant look expensive is the fact that it only comes in the two plushest levels of Prius trim - 'Business Edition Plus' and 'Excel'.

What it all means is that you'll need around £35,000 for a 'Business Edition Plus' Plug-in model - and around £2,000 more than that if you want the top 'Excel' variant.

You can though, subtract the usual £2,500 Government-funded Plug-in Car Grant from those figures. At least the car will me very well equipped for that kind of money, with nearly all the executive toys you would want.

We particularly like the clever gas injection heat pump automatic air conditioning system - a world first. This set-up is capable of heating the cabin without having to start the engine, even when external temperatures drop as low as -10??C.

This minimises the impact heating the car's interior has on the EV driving range. The heat pump is far more efficient than engine heating or high-power electric water heaters, being able to warm the interior efficiently using heat absorbed from the outside air.
