The 2026 Toyota Prius trim levels start with the feature-rich and value-packed Prius LE. Highlights include a 7-inch multi-information LCD, single-zone climate control with pollen filtration, an Integrated Backup Camera, and 17-inch wheels. Its lower curb weight helps the 2026 Prius LE earn peak fuel economy ratings within the lineup, returning an EPA-estimated 57/56 MPG (City/Highway).1 Like other 2026 Prius trims that follow, the LE edition gets Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a full suite of advanced driver-assistance technologies for on-road peace of mind.


Searching for an affordable hybrid car, but want the increased all-weather confidence from AWD? Then, consider the 2026 Toyota Prius LE AWD. This trim builds on the base edition's superb standard features list by including the carmaker's Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. Like the LE base model, the 2026 Prius LE AWD has the same array of amenities, including an 8-inch touchscreen and wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®.
For next-level style, comfort, and tech in your new Toyota hybrid car, turn to the mid-grade 2026 Prius XLE trim. This impressive automobile sports bold 19-inch alloy wheels, premium SofTex-trimmed front seating surfaces that can be heated, a power-adjustable driver seat, and wireless mobile device charging. The 2026 Toyota Prius XLE also boasts helpful rain-sensing windshield wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and Front and Rear Parking Assist.


Enjoy the commanding control of the Toyota electronic AWD system with a few more upgrades by selecting the XLE AWD edition. Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive sends power to this edition's sporty 19-inch alloys, enabling the Prius XLE AWD to deliver both an enhanced exterior and confident performance in various conditions.
The Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition is a variant that builds on the XLE trim with blacked-out styling elements, including badging, bumper trim, a roof-mounted shark fin antenna, and door handles, and sits on 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, it has carbon fiber detailing on the dashboard, black doorsills, and black SofTex seats with gray stitching.


The Nightshade Edition AWD has Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive for equal power to its front and rear blacked-out 19-inch wheels. Otherwise, the features and styling for the 2026 Toyota Prius Nightshade Edition AWD remain the same as the front-wheel-drive configuration. If you're looking to hit the streets in style and take advantage of enhanced traction, don't miss this automobile.
