2025 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid is available in three trim levels: SE, XSE and XSE Premium. All are powered by a plug-in hybrid system that consists of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and dual electric motors fed by a 13.6-kWh battery pack. The Prius Plug-in Hybrid can travel up to 44 miles on EV power on a full charge before the gas engine kicks in. The powertrain develops 220 horsepower combined, and while all-wheel drive is available on the regular Prius (which is reviewed separately), all Plug-in Hybrid models are front-wheel-drive only. Here are the significant standard and optional features you get with each trim level.

SE
The base model Prius Plug-in Hybrid includes these standard features:

  • 17-inch wheels with covers
  • LED headlights
  • Height-adjustable front seats
  • Cloth upholstery
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Automatic climate control
  • Keyless entry (driver's door only) and keyless start
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Satellite radio
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration
  • Six-speaker audio system

Every Prius Plug-in Hybrid also comes with a package of advanced driver aids called Toyota Safety Sense 3.0. It includes:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking (warns if a front impact is imminent and applies the brakes if you don't respond in time)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the Prius Plug-in Hybrid and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Prius Plug-in Hybrid back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Lane centering system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane when adaptive cruise control is activated)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)

Other standard advanced driver aids include:

  • Automated lane change assistance (guides the vehicle into the next lane when the turn signal is used)
  • Traffic Jam Assist (uses the vehicle's advanced driver aids to further provide hands-free driving capability on select highways when driving less than 25 mph)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)
  • Safe exit assist (can prevent a passenger from opening a door into traffic approaching from behind)
  • Automatic high beams

Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking are optional on the SE trim.

XSE
The midlevel XSE adds the following to the SE equipment:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Keyless entry for both front doors and the rear hatch
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless phone charging pad
  • Front and rear parking sensors with automatic braking (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

Notable options the XSE include:

  • Fixed-glass roof
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Digital key capability (allows the driver to use a smartphone as a key; requires a subscription to Toyota Remote Connect services)

XSE Premium
The range-topping XSE Premium adds:

  • Fixed-glass roof
  • Power hatch
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Eight-speaker JBL audio system
  • Digital key capability

Notable options and packages on the XSE Premium include:

  • Roof solar panel
  • Heated rear seats
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)

The Advanced Technology package is only offered on the XSE Premium and adds:

  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • 360-degree parking camera (gives you a top-down view of the Prius Plug-in Hybrid and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Which Prius Plug-In Hybrid trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest getting the midlevel XSE trim because it comes equipped with features that should satisfy most shoppers, including heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, and a wireless smartphone charging pad. But if you want the most all-electric driving range and the best fuel economy, go for the most affordable SE trim.
