Used 2023 Toyota Prius Prime Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime is available in three trim levels: SE, XSE and XSE Premium. All are powered by the same 220-horsepower hybrid system. All-wheel drive is available on the non-plug-in Prius, but all Primes are front-wheel-drive only.

SE
The base model Prius Prime includes these standard features:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels with covers
  • LED headlights
  • Rain-sensing windshield wipers
  • Height-adjustable front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Automatic climate control
  • Keyless entry (driver's door only) and keyless start
  • 8-inch touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • 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)
  • Six-speaker audio system

Every Prius Prime also comes with 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 Toyota and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Prius back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)

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

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Keyless entry (for both front doors and the rear hatch) and keyless start
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad

Notable options and packages on the XSE include:

  • Fixed glass roof
  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Toyota's Digital Key system (allows the driver to use smartphone as a key)

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
  • Toyota's Digital Key system

Notable options and packages on the XSE Premium include:

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

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

  • Automatic parallel and perpendicular parking
  • 360-degree parking camera (gives you a top-down view of the Prius Prime and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Which Prius Prime trim does Edmunds recommend?

Our pick would be the midlevel XSE. A modern hybrid doesn't feel sufficiently high-tech without the keyless entry that the XSE includes, and it nets buyers synthetic leather upholstery and heated front seats, as well as the ability to pick and choose from many of the XSE Premium's desirable features without having to pay for the whole kaboodle.
