While many cars with alternative means of propulsion and an eco-friendly focus are available today, the Toyota Prius was a groundbreaking model when it debuted over two decades ago. After all of these years, the iconic Prius is still going strong, with even higher fuel economy, a sporty design, an upscale interior, and a traction-enhancing available all-wheel drive system. In this 2020 Toyota Prius vs 2020 Honda Insight comparison, we show how the new Prius favorably measures up against the hybrid competition.
