Toyota is gearing up to launch the 2025 Prius in Pakistan, and it’s already turning heads with its promise of efficiency, technology, and eco-conscious driving, especially for those commuting through busy city streets or between cities.
While official prices from Toyota Pakistan are still under wraps, automotive insiders have hinted at the likely ex-factory price ranges:
- Base 1.8 L HEV (U trim): Rs. 12,000,000
- Mid‑range 2.0 L HEV (G/Z Trim): Rs. 12,500,000–Rs. 12,800,000
- Top-end Prius Z PHEV (Plug‑in Hybrid): Up to Rs. 16,500,000
These prices are expected to shift slightly due to local dealership margins and applicable taxes.
Hybrid Powertrain with Stellar Mileage
The 2025 Prius showcases Toyota’s cutting-edge hybrid system, offering two powertrain options:
- A 1.8 L petrol engine delivering 72 kW, paired with a 53 kW electric motor
- A more robust 2.0 L petrol hybrid variant for those wanting added performance
Power is channeled via a CVT transmission, ensuring a smooth drive. What truly sets it apart is its fuel economy:
- 24–31 km/L in standard hybrid modes
- 36–40 km/L with the PHEV variant in hybrid mode
- That’s excellent news for fuel-conscious drivers facing rising petrol costs.
