This year’s Prius Prime features a new safety package from Toyota. The vehicle can now read road signs and detect people on foot or bicycles well enough to avoid collisions. Among the most notable changes is the inclusion of Android Auto in the system. The exterior paint color, Blizzard Pearl White, has been supplemented with Wind Chill Pearl, which is a close match.

In addition to the new Prius Prime, there are two levels to choose from. The Vos is the entrance trim, which is followed by the XLE. Just over $2000 is all that separates them. The Limited, at the very top of the line, features the finest materials and craftsmanship.

With a host of cutting-edge features, the LE is sure to draw attention. It has a seven-inch touchscreen and a slew of driver-assist technologies. Quad-LED projector headlights give it a futuristic appearance. Push-button start and Smart Key System can be very convenient.

Inductive charging, SofTex chairs, and an 11.6-inch touchscreen are some of the XX’s most notable new features. The Limited takes style and technology to new heights. With LED accent lamps and LED fog lights, as well as blind-spot monitoring, parking assist, and a head-up display; this is the only trim to have these features.

There is 121 hp in the Prius Prime’s hybrid drivetrain. The vehicle has a 1.8-liter engine and an electric motor. VVT is used in this four-cylinder engine. An electric continuously variable transmission is mated to a front-wheel-drive system.

The Toyota Security Sense 2.0 package includes a few surveillance and mitigation systems for the Toyota Prius Prime. When a frontal collision appears imminent, which was before the warning system can send an alert and apply brake pressure to the vehicle in an attempt to avoid an accident. The Prius Prime can also correct its steering to keep itself centered and warn drivers if they are straying out of their lanes. Automatic beams, adaptive cruise, and traffic signs recognition are all included as standard equipment.

An optional color head-up display further enhances the Limited’s performance and appearance. This type of tech places information right in front of the car’s line of vision on the windshield. Users will be able to keep an eye on things like their frequency, navigation instructions, and battery life thanks to this new feature.

In addition, Restricted has just a few other perks. There’s a parking-related feature called Smart Clearance Sonar that can help. The other two are rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. When trying to drive around other vehicles, it can be pleasant to have an extra set of eyes to keep an eye on things.

The hatchback design of the Prius Prime provides plenty of interior space. Back wheels can be folded to free up even more storage space in this vehicle’s backseat area.

The Prius Prime comes standard with heated front seats. There are cloth seats in the baseline model and SofTex seats in the other models. The heat source steering wheel and car rearview mirror are standard on the top-tier model.

The LE has an eight touchscreen, whereas others have 11.6-inch touchscreens, as previously mentioned. In addition to smartphone integration, Amazon, SiriusXM Satellite Tv, and Bluetooth are available on all trims. On the XLE and Limited trims, integrated navigation is included as a standard feature. When you’re looking for a new location or looking to avoid traffic, having a GPS can be a lifesaver.

The Limited trim has a better sound system. Having a JBL top quality framework with ten speaker systems and an amplifier is a big plus for this trim.

Using Prius Prime’s hybrid mode, it can get up to 60 miles to the gallon. Prius Prime’s estimated MPGe is 133 when electronic power consumption is taken into account.

EV mode can be selected by drivers while driving. Because of this, they’ll only be going to rely on electrical energy. In this mode, they could go up to a distance of 25 miles. As long as you don’t mind a lower range, it’s good enough for most daily commuting needs.

Regular outlets and 240V outlets are available for charging the car’s battery. The battery takes 5 ½ hours of charging time are required with a standard outlet. Using the quicker 240-volt system, this time can be reduced by more than 50%. Even though charging the car on a routine basis isn’t required, doing so can help it run more efficiently.
