Used 2023 Toyota Prius Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2023 Toyota Prius hatchback comes in three trim level options: LE, XLE and Limited. Each has a hybrid system that combines a 2.0-liter engine and electric motors to produce a total of 194 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional for all three trims. With AWD, power increases slightly to 196 hp. Feature highlights for each trim include:

LE
Starts off the Prius lineup with:

  • 17-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Folding 60/40-split rear seats
  • 8-inch center touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration (both with wireless connectivity)
  • Six USB-C charging ports
  • Six-speaker sound system
  • Connected services, including Wi-Fi hotspot (subscription-based)

The LE also comes with a bundle of advanced driver aids (Toyota Safety Sense 3.0) that includes:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the vehicle back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert (alerts if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

XLE
Adds to the LE with:

  • 19-inch wheels
  • Keyless entry and start
  • Rear seat cupholders
  • Heated front seats
  • Synthetic leather upholstery (Toyota's SofTex)
  • Power-adjustable driver's seat
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Rain-sensing wipers
  • Front and rear parking sensors with low-speed automatic braking

Optional features for the XLE include:

  • 12.3-inch touchscreen
  • Panoramic glass roof
  • Smartphone key capability (allows you to use your smartphone as a key to enter and drive the vehicle)

Limited
This top Prius trim has the XLE's optional features noted above as standard. Toyota also adds:

  • Power liftgate
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Driver's seat memory settings
  • Eight-speaker JBL sound system

The Limited can further be optioned with:

  • Heated rear seats
  • Automated parking system
  • Digital rearview mirror function (allows you to see out the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Prius and its surroundings for tight parking situations)

Which Prius trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend the midgrade XLE trim for the best value. It has some desirable extras over the base LE trim, including keyless entry, heated front seats and synthetic leather upholstery. You might also consider getting an XLE with the optional 12.3-inch center touchscreen, though it's not a must-have.
