2017 Toyota Prius Prime
The Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid outsold all other electric models in May. That marked the second straight month in the top spot for Toyota’s plug-in hybrid that grants 25 miles of all-electric driving before resorting to gasoline. The model's relatively low price tag could partly explain why the Prius Prime is beating cars like the Chevy Volt and Tesla Model S, but it’s not the whole story.
The Prime’s sticker price is a few thousand dollars less than the Volt’s. However, the price advantage is reduced because buyers of the Toyota plug-in hybrid qualify for a $4,500 tax credit, while Volt buyers get a $7,500 credit. May 2017 sales of the Prius Prime were 1,908 units, beating the Volt—with its superior 53 miles of all-electric range—by about 100 cars.
