Toyota has decided to confuse consumers by implementing a new trim level (build) nomenclature for their Prius hybrid vehicle.

Instead of the normal (CE, LE, XLE, etc… ) or the (Base, Premium, Limited, etc..) naming format, they’ve opted for a new and ambiguous format:

  • Prius I
  • Prius II
    toyota prius value
  • Prius III
  • Prius IV
  • Prius V

There is no Prius I for years prior to 2017? Now that doesn’t make too much sense!

Check out: Toyota Prius Trim Levels 1997-Today (2023 Updated List)

After reviewing Toyota’s product info bulletin, we learn that those builds mean the following:

  •  Prius I (starting in 2017, this is the base model Prius and possibly the best deal of all its siblings)
  • Prius II – EV mode, driver-side Smart Key System, Touch Tracer Display, Cruise Control, Rear Wiper, Tonneau Cover, passenger side seatback pocket, AM/FM/MP3 CD player with satellite radio antenna, auxiliary audio jack and six speakers
  • Prius III – Model II equipment plus JBL AM/FM/MP3 6-disc CD changer with eight speakers, integrated XM satellite radio capability, hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth® wireless technology
  • Prius IV – Model III equipment plus three-door Smart Key System; leather-trimmed interior; heated front seats with driver lumbar support; step lamp;; driver and front passenger water repellant windows; upgraded front and center pillar trim; plasma cluster; auto-dimming mirror and HomeLink®
  • Prius V – Model IV equipment plus 17-inch alloy wheels; LED headlamps with auto leveling and washers and fog lamps.

Hopefully, the next generation will have simpler designations.

Prius Naming Suggestions:

  • Prius Pure
  • Prius Plus
  • Prius Premium
  • Prius
  • Prius LE
  • Prius SE
  • Prius EV
  • Prius EVL
  • Prius Advanced
