Used 2022 Toyota Prius Prime Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

Toyota keeps things pretty simple with the Prius Prime. It's offered in three trim levels (LE, XLE and Limited) and there aren't any optional packages or single features to add besides fancier-looking 15-inch wheels or small accessories like all-weather floor mats.

All Prius Prime trims use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that's paired to an electric motor. The total system output is 121 horsepower and can provide approximately 25 miles of all-electric driving on a full charge. The Prime is only available with front-wheel drive and uses a continuously variable transmission.

LE
Highlights of the Prius Prime LE include:

  • 15-inch alloy wheels with wheel covers
  • LED headlights
  • Heated outside mirrors
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Automatic climate control
  • Heated front cloth seats
  • Hands-free keyless entry for the driver's door
  • 7.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Charging cable for a 120-volt power outlet

Every Prius Prime also comes with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0. This package of advanced driver aids includes:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Prius Prime and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Lane keeping system (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)

XLE
The Prius Prime XLE trim level adds several upgrades, such as:

  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Hands-free keyless entry for additional doors
  • 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display
  • Navigation system
  • Voice recognition technology
  • Wireless smartphone charger
  • Charging cable lock

Limited
Choose the Prius Prime Limited for all of the extras, including:

  • LED foglights
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Heated steering wheel
  • 10-speaker JBL audio system
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)

Which Prius Prime trim does Edmunds recommend?

Opting for the midlevel XLE trim is our recommendation. For not much more than what the base LE trim starts at, the XLE gets you desirable extras such as simulated leather upholstery, a larger 11.6-inch center touchscreen (versus a 7-inch one), wireless smartphone charging and a navigation system.
