Bolt vs Prius Performance 

Whether you elect for the Chevy Bolt or the Toyota Prius, you’re likely in it for the electric or hybrid performance that each is known for.

With the electric drive unit of the Bolt, you can look forward to more power than you get with the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine of the Prius. The Bolt surges forward with 200 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque, providing plenty of kick behind each press of the pedal. The Prius, on the other hand, churns out 121 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of available torque.

Despite that significant power gap, both the Bolt and Prius shine when it comes to efficiency. The Prius provides a maximum EPA-estimated 54 city/50 highway MPG, while the Bolt keeps you enjoying the open road with an EPA-estimated 259-mile electric driving range.

    Bolt vs Prius Interior & Technology 

    Inside, the 2022 Chevy Bolt and Toyota Prius each showcase an impressively designed interior loaded with comfort, convenience, and connectivity features.

    When it comes to the personal and cargo space of each vehicle, the Bolt takes the advantage. With just under three added inches of rear legroom, as well as seven additional cubic feet of cargo space, the Bolt outdoes the size of the Prius.

    If you’re more concerned with getting connected in your car, both the Bolt and Prius have you covered. The two actually share a fair amount of matching technology, including standard and available features like:

    • Apple CarPlay®
    • Android Auto™
    • Wireless charging
    • Bluetooth® technology
    • Integrated Amazon® Alexa

    No matter which ride you choose, you can look forward to not just quick and accessible comfort, but seamless connectivity and entertainment as well.

      Bolt vs Prius Safety & Driver Assistance 

      On top of all that, both the Prius and Bolt are loaded with intelligent and intuitive safety tech to lend you a hand behind the wheel. To make that possible, each utilizes its own unique suite of driver-assistance technology. For the Prius, it’s the Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 system, and the Chevy Safety Assist for the Bolt.

      While the two do share some features, you can expect just a bit more from the Chevy Safety Assist. This suite includes wildly helpful features like:

      • Automatic Emergency Braking
      • Forward Collision Alert
      • Front Pedestrian Braking
      • Following Distance Indicator
      • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
      • IntelliBeam® Auto High Beams

      The Bolt also features the unique Teen Driver feature, to help you keep a close eye on your families’ youngest drivers. With the ability to customize and limit certain features of the vehicle, as well as a provided in-vehicle report card, you’ll be able to monitor even their earliest driving habits.

      It also comes with a standard HD Surround Vision system to help provide a more convenient parking process than with the standard backup camera of the Prius.
