2022 Toyota Prius

The 2022 Toyota Prius gives you the option between several trim levels: the L Eco, LE, LE, XLE, Nightshade Edition, and Limited. The Nightshade Edition does its name justice with its all-black accents that create an edgy look on the road. The Prius comes standard with LED daytime running lights. The LE adds fog lights with LED accent lights. Upgrade to the Limited to utilize the available adaptive front-lighting system with auto-leveling headlights. Prepare your Prius for your adventurous lifestyle by opting for the available rooftop crossbars. Also, check out its the available black moonroof that creates a futuristic appeal.

Each 2022 Prius is outfitted with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor that create a combined 121 horsepower. This powertrain features a continuously variable automatic transmission.

The LE, XLE, and Nightshade Edition come standard with the Prius's usual front-wheel-drive system, but can be upgraded with an all-wheel-drive system to improve your traction and performance. This system sends power to all four wheels at speeds up to 43 mph. Opt for a model equipped with the available intelligent clearance sonar system with intelligent parking assist to let your Prius control its steering wheel as you slide into parking spots.

Inside the Prius, you'll find seating for up to five passengers. Fold the rear seats forward to create up to 50.7 cubic feet of cargo room. You'll still get up to 27.4 cubic feet of room for your gear with the seats in their upright position. As you move up through the Prius's trim levels, its interior offering grows more luxurious. The XLE gets into luxury territory with its heated front seats and steering wheel wrapped in SofTex simulated leather. The Prius comes standard with a smartphone-integrated 7-inch touch screen, but the Limited features a more impressive 11.6-inch screen. Both of these screens have access to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Limited also gives you the premium 10-speaker sound system to enhance your music. An integrated satellite navigation system is available through an optional package.

Toyota has outfitted the 2022 Prius with its Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 suite of driver-assist technologies. No matter which model you choose, you'll get a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, a lane-departure alert with steering assist, automatic high beams, and more. We suggest looking for a model outfitted with the available blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert to stay more cognizant of what's happening behind your Prius. Each Prius model comes standard with an integrated backup camera that allows you to look for vehicles behind you. The Prius offers 10 standard air bags for when the going gets tough.
