Can Prius go fast?
Yes, but just. Speed tests have confirmed that a new Prius can top out between 100 mph and 105 mph. That’s not too speedy when compared with Toyota’s conventional sedans—some Corollas can get up to 124 mph, and Camrys can reach 130 mph.
Can you make a Prius fast?
Technically, yes, but probably not in the way that you might like to add horsepower to a Prius.

Is Toyota Prius slow?
In the real world, the Prius isn’t outrageously slow, it doesn’t struggle to pick up speed or climb hills like the old Honda Civic Hybrid I used to drive. On the road it just feels like a normal car, only quieter.
