2027 Toyota Prius: Hybrid Efficiency with Available All-Wheel Drive
Efficiency has always been the headline for the 2027 Toyota Prius, though the current generation asks for a second look. Four grades are on the table, and they differ more than the badges suggest. Let Toyota Chula Vista in Chula Vista, CA break down what each one changes under the skin and on the dash.
Power and Performance
Toyota Hybrid System 5 pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motors for a net combined 194 horsepower in front-wheel-drive form. Add Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive and a dedicated rear electric drive motor engages automatically when wheel slip is detected, raising output to 196 horsepower and trimming the run to 60 mph from 7.2 to 7.0 seconds.
Fuel economy lands at an EPA-estimated 55 mpg combined on the LE grade and an EPA-estimated 53 mpg combined on the LE all-wheel-drive grade, routed through a continuously variable transmission. Four drive modes — EV, Power, ECO, and Normal — let you set how the hybrid system behaves on any drive.
Technology Features
Toyota Audio Multimedia® appears on an eight-inch touchscreen across the LE, XLE, and Nightshade grades, while the Limited grade steps up to a 12.3-inch display, and all four include a seven-inch digital gauge cluster. Dual-Zone HVAC is newly standard, so you and your front passenger can set separate temperatures in your Toyota Prius cabin. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come along, with Qi-compatible wireless charging available.
Upper grades add SofTex®-trimmed front seats and an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, while the Limited grade adds a fixed glass roof and an eight-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with amplifier.
Safety Features
Proactive Driving Assist contributes subtle braking cues and visual alerts when traffic ahead slows, one piece of the Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0 suite standard on all four grades. A Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist round out that package. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Safe Exit Alert appear even on the LE grade, extending coverage often reserved for higher grades to every new Toyota model configuration you can order.
