Welcome to the 2021 Toyota Prius! Whether you’re searching for a small yet spacious city-ready hatchback or you’re more focused on taking your fuel economy to the next level, the new Prius has you covered. Here are a few of our favorite cool features that the 2021 Prius has to offer.
-
Hybrid Efficiency
What this model is perhaps best known for is its next-level fuel efficiency. The 2021 Toyota Prius does justice to this accolade with its intelligently designed hybrid system. Each model features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor that work together to create 121 system horsepower. The all-wheel-drive models get an additional motor that sends power to the rear wheels. Even when equipped with this optional traction-boosting performance feature, the Prius still offers an impressive fuel economy that allows you to pass by more gas stations during your trips.
-
Ample Space
The 2021 Prius allows you to fit your adventure gear in its rear cargo space. With the seats up, the Prius offers up to 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Fold those seats down to increase your cargo volume to 50.7 cubic feet. The 60/40-split rear row lets you customize your cabin’s seating arrangement to find a good balance between passenger seats and cargo volume. If you have larger adventuring gear you want to bring along, opt for a model with the available accessory cargo crossbars so you can load it on the top.
-
Intuitive Touch Screens
If you want to make your Prius even smarter, choose a model equipped with the larger 11.6-inch touch screen. However, even if you stick to the standard 7-inch touch screen, you’ll have access to the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration programs. These screens are also compatible with Amazon Alexa, which lets you do everything from turn down your home’s smart thermostat to add orange juice to your shopping list.
-
City-Ready Safety
As usual, the Prius features some of the latest and greatest driver-assist technologies. Each model is outfitted with an array of Toyota Safety Sense systems, such as road sign assist, automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, and more. These smart safety systems are game-changers when it comes to maneuvering through busy city streets.
-
Tech Bonuses
As you move up through the Prius’ trim levels — the L, LE, XLE, Limited, and 2020 Edition — you’ll be able to enjoy even cooler technology features. The available head-up display shows key data above the steering wheel so you can keep your eyes on the road while staying informed. The Qi-compatible wireless phone charging pad and three USB ports allow everyone to maintain their devices’ charges. Opt for the Limited trim to add the premium navigation system and audio system.
There’s a reason the 2021 Toyota Prius has developed one of the most recognizable personalities on the road.
