The 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is now available in Canada and is already turning heads. Known for more than 20 years as a pioneer in the hybrid world, the Prius takes another leap forward by offering greater electric range, bold design, and renewed interior comfort. For residents of Baie-Comeau and the surrounding area, this new generation represents a concrete option to reduce their carbon footprint while enjoying Toyota’s renowned reliability.
The standout feature of this plug-in version is its impressive electric range. According to manufacturer estimates, the 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid can travel up to 72 kilometers without using gas. For many daily commutes in Baie-Comeau—such as driving from downtown to Pointe-Lebel or Godbout—that means most trips can be made in zero-emission mode. Plus, the battery fully recharges in about four hours on a Level 2 charger.
Under the hood, the 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid combines a 2.0-L gas engine with an electric motor-generator. Together, they deliver 220 horsepower, offering a more spirited drive than ever before. Paired with a continuously variable transmission and front-wheel drive, this powertrain ensures both energy efficiency and driving pleasure. Even without charging, the vehicle operates as a traditional hybrid with an average fuel consumption of just 4.5 L/100 km.
For 2026, Toyota introduces the Prius Plug-In Hybrid Nightshade Edition, a trim that emphasizes distinctive style. Based on the XSE version, it adds elegant black details, including emblems, handles, and trim. Its 19-inch black-finished wheels enhance its sporty look, and two colors are available: Wind Chill Pearl and Midnight Black Metallic. In Baie-Comeau, where drivers value both style and performance, this edition clearly stands out.
The interior of the 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid is designed to balance comfort with technology. It features heated front seats, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, and automatic climate control. The cabin seats up to five passengers and includes a 60/40 split-folding rear bench for added versatility. Soft-touch materials and stylish accents create a modern atmosphere, ideal for longer drives between Baie-Comeau and Sept-Îles.
All versions come equipped with Toyota’s multimedia system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 12.3-inch touchscreen is available on select trims, along with connected services like Drive Connect.
On the safety side, the 2026 Prius Plug-In Hybrid features Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, the latest suite of driver-assist technologies. This includes dynamic radar cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and pedestrian detection. Drivers in Baie-Comeau will also appreciate the blind-spot monitor and safe exit assist, particularly handy in busy parking lots.
