2022 Toyota Prius Trims Comparison
2022 Prius trim level differences
The 2022 Toyota Prius is a four-door hatchback hybrid that seats five passengers. The front-wheel-drive model is available in five trim levels: L Eco, LE, XLE, Nightshade Edition and Limited. The Prius AWD-e, which has all-wheel drive, is offered in the LE and XLE and Nightshade Edition trims only. All Prius models are driven by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine paired to a hybrid powertrain (121 total system horsepower) and a continuously variable automatic transmission. Significant features include:
Which 2022 Prius trim does Edmunds recommend?
There are two trims that stand out in the Prius lineup. The base L Eco wins accolades for its reasonable price and abundance of standard features. But if you have a little wiggle room in your budget, we think it's worth upgrading to the XLE. Its imitation leather upholstery and trim goes a long way to dress up the interior, and upgrades including heated front seats and an auto-dimming mirror will pay dividends in everyday use.
