Last year, Toyota said it wouldn't introduce the 5th-gen Prius PHEV to the U.K. because it couldn't compete with SUVs. Now, it has reportedly changed its tune

When Toyota unveiled the fifth-generation Prius, the reaction to the car's impressive performance and concept-car looks was surprisingly strong. Consumer in the UK were doubtless disappointed to learn that they wouldn't be able to buy the hybrid, then. However, there is now hope. The Prius will be offered for sale in the UK after being kicked out of the lineup last year.

However, in Europe, only the plug-in hybrid powertrain is available. It combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a front-mounted electric motor that produce 220 hp . Meanwhile, the 13.6 kWh battery can convey the car up to 53 miles on the electric motor alone, according to local testing standards. That powertrain made the fifth-generation Prius a big improvement over the fourth-generation model, and the theme of big improvements continues inside.
