The Toyota Prius was entirely refreshed last year, which means the 2024 model is mostly the same, which is definitely not a bad thing. Indeed, the new Prius is the most stylish, efficient, and fun-to-drive version of the iconic hybrid car ever. Here are some more details about its pricing and specifications.
The 5th generation hybrid powertrain
All 2024 Toyota Prius models are powered by the fifth generation of the Toyota Hybrid drive system, which makes use of a 2.0L gasoline engine and two electric motors, as opposed to a 1.8L engine and a single electric motor, as was the case previously. This obviously means more power, but also more efficiency. Indeed, the 2024 Prius benefits from 196 horsepower and an average fuel consumption of only 4,8 L/100 km. This powertrain also includes all-wheel drive as standard on every model for the first time, giving the Prius increased foul-weather capabilities. As it is a traditional hybrid system, this powertrain doesn’t require the driver to plug the car in in order to benefit from all of its advantages.
Lots of standard safety features
The 2024 Toyota Prius comes standard with a long list of standard safety features that are part of the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 suite of driver assistance technologies. For example, the Prius includes features such as radar-guided cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automatic high beams, forward collision warning with pedestrian and motorcycle detection, intersection support, blind spot monitoring, as well as front and rear cross-traffic alert, among others. This host of safety features as well as the advanced crash structure have earned the 2024 Toyota Prius the IIHS’ Top Safety Pick+ award, the highest distinction in terms of safety.
Two well-equipped grades
The 2024 Toyota Prius comes in two well-equipped trim levels that offer more than you might expect, especially in the entry-level model. Starting with the $37,150 XLE AWD, the Prius includes SofTex leatherette upholstery, the Toyota Multimedia infotainment system with Remote Connect, Service Connect, Safety Connect, and an 8-inch touch screen. In addition, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, as are 19-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, and the smart key access system.
Choosing the $43,250 Limited AWD trim level instead adds equipment such as an 8-speaker JBL sound system, Drive Connect, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, a glass roof, a power hatch, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, the digital key function, wireless phone charging, a 360-degree camera system, and the Advanced Park system.
