The entry point to the 2027 Toyota Prius lineup, LE pairs strong fuel economy with a well-equipped standard feature set, making it an easy recommendation for drivers who want maximum mpg without giving up modern conveniences.

• Leads the lineup in efficiency: up to an EPA-estimated 57 mpg city / 56 mpg highway (FWD)
• 23.8 cu. ft. of cargo space, the most in the lineup
• 6-way adjustable fabric seats
• Standard 8-in. touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
• Toyota Safety Sense standard
• 16-in. wheels that help maximize fuel economy

2027 Toyota Prius XLE adds comfort and styling upgrades while keeping efficiency close to the LE, often cited as the value sweet spot in the lineup since it brings many Limited-level features without the full price jump.

• 8-way power-adjustable, heated SofTex-trimmed front seats
• 19-in. alloy wheels
• Available 12.3-in. touchscreen
• Available wireless device charging
• Rain-sensing windshield wipers

2027 Toyota Prius Nightshade builds on the XLE with blacked-out styling details for a more aggressive, monochromatic look inside and out, appealing to buyers who want the XLE's feature set with a bolder visual statement.

• Blacked-out badging, bumper trim, and 19-in. alloy wheels
• Black SofTex-trimmed seats with gray stitching
• Carbon-fiber-look dash accents and black cabin trim
• Same mechanical underpinnings and feature set as XLE
• Distinct blacked-out roof-mounted shark fin antenna and door handles

2027 Toyota Prius Limited sits at the top of the Prius lineup, adding the largest touchscreen, premium audio, and additional comfort and convenience features as standard equipment for buyers who want the fullest expression of the Prius experience.

• Standard 12.3-in. touchscreen
• 8-speaker JBL premium audio system
• Ventilated front seats and memory settings
• Available Advanced Park and panoramic view monitor via the Limited Premium Package
• Power liftback for hands-free cargo access

Every 2027 Toyota Prius trim can be built with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, which adds a second electric motor at the rear wheels for on-demand traction in rain, snow, or loose surfaces without the added weight of a traditional mechanical AWD system. The choice between FWD and AWD comes down to priorities: maximum efficiency versus added confidence in poor weather.

• AWD adds a small efficiency trade-off in exchange for added grip
• Rear motor engages automatically only when extra traction is needed
• Available on LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited
• No mechanical driveshaft connecting front and rear axles, which helps keep the system lightweight
