Performance
EV Power
Prius Prime features a dual motor drive system that uses both motors to help propel Prius Prime. The result is a boost in acceleration feel, enhanced efficiency 89 and the added benefit of EV Mode at full highway speeds.
EV Driving Range
With an EPA-estimated 25 miles of driving range in EV Mode, 149 Prius Prime runs without using a drop of fuel. Charge it whenever you can, or don’t. When the charge runs low, Prius Prime will continue to run as an efficient hybrid with an EPA-estimated 54 mpg combined
Body Rigidity
A solid chassis means Prius Prime was built to be confident. With increased torsional rigidity from laser-screw welding, high-tensile-strength steel and uniquely shaped frame structures, Prius Prime offers a ride that’s comfortable yet ready to take on every corner.
Intelligent Efficiency
Its lightweight materials, proven hybrid technology and optimized Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) system all work together to give Prius Prime an EPA-estimated 133 MPGe. 89 This impressive efficiency lets you challenge what’s possible.
Versatile Driving Modes
Prius Prime offers multiple driving modes so that the driver stays in control: EV (Electric Vehicle) Mode, EV Auto Mode and HV (Hybrid Vehicle) Mode. EV Auto Mode intelligently selects between EV and hybrid driving based on demand and driving conditions to optimize your efficiency. HV Mode efficiently combines the gas engine and electrical power from the HV battery to drive Prius Prime.

Aerodynamic Design
Prius Prime’s purposeful features include an active front grille shutter that closes at high speeds, underbody covers, side body fins and an exclusive dual-wave rear class design—all which help Prius Prime slip through the air.
Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced-Polymer Rear Hatch
Prius Prime’s rear hatch features more than just the unique design of the dual-wave glass. Made of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer, a Toyota first, the rear hatch is made to be rigid while still being lightweight. Using this advanced material reduces the overall weight of the car and helps contribute to its fuel efficiency.

Toyota Safety Sense™ 2.0 (TSS 2.0)
Pre-Collision System With Pedestrian Detection
The Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD) 103 is designed to help detect a vehicle or a pedestrian in certain situations. Using both a camera and radar, PCS w/PD can provide an audio/visual alert to warn you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. If you don’t react, the system is designed to automatically brake.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Intended for highway use, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) 155 lets you drive at a preset speed. The system is designed to function between 0-110 mph and uses vehicle-to-vehicle distance control, helping maintain a preset distance from the vehicle ahead of you.
Lane Departure Alert With Steering Assist
By detecting visible white/yellow lane markings or the road’s edge at speeds above 32 mph, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) 160 is designed to issue an audio/visual alert if an inadvertent lane departure is detected. If the driver does not take corrective action, the Steering Assist function is designed to provide gentle corrective steering.
Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams (AHB) 161 safety system is designed to help you see more clearly at night at speeds above 25 mph. The AHB system can detect the headlights of oncoming vehicles and taillights of preceding vehicles, then automatically toggles between high and low beams accordingly.
Road Sign Assist
Using an intelligent camera, Road Sign Assist (RSA) 157 is designed to detect speed limit signs, stop signs, Do Not Enter signs and yield signs, and display them on the Multi-Information Display (MID).
Lane Tracing Assist
When Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) 155 is enabled and lane markers are detectable, Lane Tracing Assist (LTA) 163 uses the lines on the road and/or preceding vehicles to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane.
Safety
Intelligent Clearance Sonar With Intelligent Parking Assist
As you park, the available Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) 150 is designed to scan for stationary objects like walls or posts that are within close proximity. If Prius Prime anticipates a collision, an audible and visual alert will notify you. Then the engine or motor output will slow down, and if needed, brakes will automatically be applied to help bring Prius Prime to a halt. The available Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) 147 helps you navigate and conquer those difficult parking situations. Prius Prime will automatically control the steering wheel, while you control the acceleration and brake pedals, and help guide you into an open parking space.
Blind Spot Monitor
When a vehicle in the next lane enters your vehicle’s blind spot on either side, the available Blind Spot Monitor (BSM) 152 is designed to illuminate the indicator in that sideview mirror. If you continue to signal a lane change to that lane, the indicator will flash to get your attention.
Safety Connect®
With Safety Connect®, 162 emergency assistance is within reach. After the trial period expires, 142 you can subscribe to have continued access to helpful features such as Emergency Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Locator, 144 Roadside Assistance 143 and Automatic Collision Notification.
No Cost Maintenance Plan and Roadside Assistance
Every new Toyota comes with ToyotaCare, 145 a maintenance plan that covers normal factory scheduled service for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first, and 24-hour Roadside Assistance for 2 years, unlimited mileage. Plus, as a Prius Prime owner, your vehicle includes an additional year of Roadside Assistance, for a total of 3 years.
Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
In reverse, Prius Prime’s available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) 154 uses sensors to detect vehicles approaching from either side. If the system senses cross traffic, it warns you by flashing the side mirror indicators and sounding a warning tone.
