2027 Chevrolet Bolt vs Toyota Prius Comparison
A plug or a pump: that is the first question when you line up the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt with the 2027 Toyota Prius, and we would choose the plug. The Bolt is fully electric, with an EPA-estimated 262 miles of range on a full charge; ambient temperature, terrain, battery age and condition, loading, use and maintenance can all change that figure.
It also brings more power, more legroom and a larger driver display than the Prius, along with available Super Cruise. The Prius is a hybrid that runs on gasoline, with an EPA-estimated 55 mpg combined on the LE grade with FWD. MPGe and mpg measure different things, so Jenkins Chevrolet of Venice keeps them apart and names the trim or drivetrain wherever a figure depends on one.
2027 Chevrolet Bolt vs Toyota Prius Performance & Efficiency
V
A single motor and a 65-kWh battery give the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt 210 hp and 169 lb-ft, more horsepower than the Prius in FWD or AWD, with an EPA-estimated full-charge range of 262 miles and 120 combined MPGe. At public DC fast chargers, 10% to 80% takes a GM-estimated 25 minutes; actual times vary with starting state of charge, battery condition, charger output, vehicle settings and battery temperature.
A 2.0-liter four-cylinder and electric motors share the work in the 2027 Toyota Prius, for 194 net-combined hp with FWD or 196 with AWD. EPA-estimated combined ratings run from 55 mpg on LE FWD to 48 mpg on XLE, Nightshade and Limited AWD, and the Prius fills up with gasoline. The Bolt skips the gas station altogether.
