Toyota Prius Plug-In Engines and Transmissions
The 2.0 CVT Liftback illustrates how the Toyota Prius Plug-In engine and electric motor work together, driving the front wheels through a continuously variable transmission. You get automatic operation without conventional stepped gear changes, though engine speed can rise and stay elevated during strong acceleration.

Toyota Prius Plug-In Battery
The 2.0 CVT Liftback uses a lithium-ion battery that you can recharge externally for electric driving. Toyota Prius Plug-In battery capacity helps determine how much of your daily route you can cover on electricity, alongside speed, weather and heating use. When that charge runs low, the car continues as a petrol-electric hybrid.
