2018 Toyota Prius vs. Chevrolet Volt

• Price
  Here at our dealership we know that the price must be right for a driver to get behind the wheel. And, with a hybrid model, it's no different. Although the advanced hybrid-drivetrain technology can drive up the cost of a hybrid vehicle, the Toyota Prius keeps its price comparable to its non-hybrid competition. That means that the Chevy Volt has no chance of competing in the price department when the Prius has a starting price nearly $10,000 less than the Volt.
• Fuel Efficiency
  Driving a hybrid model is all about fuel-efficiency and getting the most out of every gallon of fuel. Thanks to the advanced hybrid drive-train of the Toyota Prius, you can take your adventures further with 54 mpg city, 50 mpg highway, and a whopping 572-mile cruising range versus the Volts 378.
• Safety
  Hybrid vehicles aren't only sophisticated when it comes to their fuel-saving technology, they also possess a variety of safety technology that keeps you protected throughout your travels. And, while both models offer great safety features to keep you safe on the road, the Toyota Prius outshines the Volt in this realm. Offering standard hill-start assist control, pre-collision system, lane-departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and full-speed dynamic radar cruise control, the Prius is more than just a vehicle; it's your copilot.
• Comfort
  Just because you're driving a fuel-efficient hybrid doesn't mean you need to be uncomfortable. The Toyota Prius offers greater front headroom and legroom than the Chevrolet Volt. Give your rear-seat passengers more to enjoy as well, with more headroom and hip-room than the Volt your rear-seat riders will enjoy a more spacious area for your travels.
• Cargo Capability
  Often thought of as the downfall for hybrid vehicles, cargo space is a necessity for daily life. In the Toyota Prius, never compromise cargo capability with up to 24.6 cubic feet of cargo space. If your life demands cargo mobility, the Volt's 10.6 cubic feet of cargo space isn't going to get it done.
