The New 2026 Toyota Prius

The 2026 Prius delivers refined power through Toyota’s fifth-generation Hybrid System (THS-5) paired with a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder DOHC engine. Front-Wheel-Drive (FWD) models produce up to 194-196 net-combined horsepower, while Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel-Drive (AWD-e) offers up to 196 net-combined horsepower. FWD models boast an exceptional fuel economy of up to 57?MPG combined, and AWD models offer about 54?MPG combined.

For drivers seeking even greater flexibility, the 2026 Prius Plug-in Hybrid is available in SE, XSE, Nightshade Edition, and XSE Premium trims. It pairs the THS-5 with a 13.6?kWh lithium-ion battery, achieving a manufacturer-estimated all-electric driving range of 40-44?miles, depending on trim. The plug-in variant offers a robust combined fuel-efficiency rating of up to 52?MPG and an enhanced 220 net-combined horsepower.

Charging is simple. It takes about 11 hours on a standard 120?V outlet, or as little as 4 hours on a Level?2 charger. The Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB) system optimizes regenerative braking, blending electric and hydraulic braking for superior efficiency.

Available drive modes, NORMAL, ECO, and SPORT, tailor throttle response to offer balanced performance, enhanced efficiency, or spirited acceleration. The EV mode also gives full electric launch when the battery is sufficiently charged.

Inside, the 2026 Toyota Prius offers a thoughtfully designed cabin that blends comfort, convenience, and modern technology. Available amenities include 60/40 split fold-down rear seats for flexible cargo space, a power liftback for easy access, and heated front seats for added comfort.

Certain trims offer a driver’s seat with a two-setting memory function, while a SofTex®-trimmed tilt/telescopic steering wheel integrates audio, Multi-Information Display, and Bluetooth® hands-free phone controls for intuitive operation. Practical touches like six USB-C charge ports and a single-zone climate control system with pollen filtration further enhance convenience, making the Prius’ interior both versatile and driver-focused.

The 2026 Toyota Prius showcases a sleek and modern exterior design that balances style with aerodynamic efficiency. Measuring 70.2 inches wide and 181.1 inches long, with a height of 55.9 inches on LE grades and 56.3 inches on XLE, Nightshade, and Limited trims, its proportions give it a low, confident stance. Depending on the trim, exterior features include blackout badging and black bumper trim for a bold look and rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers.

Signature lighting also enhances visibility and design appeal, with Bi-LED projector low- and high-beam headlights, LED Daytime Running Lights with on/off functionality, LED taillights, and stop lights. Additional features such as a roof-mounted shark-fin antenna, active grille shutter, automatic high beams with auto on/off, and an available fixed glass roof complete the Prius’ refined, forward-thinking presence.

The 2026 Prius delivers a modern in-cabin tech experience built around the Toyota Audio Multimedia system. LE, XLE, and Nightshade trims feature an 8-inch display, while a 12.3-inch screen is standard on the Limited. This system supports Over-the-Air (OTA) updates to keep features current.

With the available Drive Connect subscription (one-year trial included), the Prius offers Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation, and Destination Assist. Voice prompts through Intelligent Assistant make it easy to control navigation, media, and climate, while Cloud Navigation keeps maps and traffic data current and Destination Assist provides live agent support.

Standard tech includes dual Bluetooth® connectivity along with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Audio options range from a six-speaker system on LE, Nightshade, and XLE to an enhanced eight-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system on the Limited.

The LE grade is the ideal starting point for drivers who want efficiency paired with smart convenience. Equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels with wheel covers and fabric-trimmed 6-way adjustable front seats in either black or grey, it offers a comfortable ride with a modern look. The SofTex®-trimmed steering wheel, single-zone climate control, and six USB-C ports make every commute through Lewisville, Dallas, or Denton both practical and enjoyable.

With the Toyota Audio Multimedia system on an 8-inch touchscreen and safety features like the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, the LE delivers everything you need to feel confident and connected.

Move up to the XLE grade, and the Prius takes on a more premium personality. Sleek 19-inch alloy wheels immediately catch the eye, while the interior elevates comfort with 8-way adjustable SofTex®-trimmed front seats. Cold mornings in DFW or McKinney are no match for the heated front seats and heated SofTex®-trimmed tilt/telescopic steering wheel.

Tech touches like a Qi-compatible wireless charger and rain-sensing windshield wipers add convenience that busy families and professionals will appreciate. The XLE is perfect for drivers who want hybrid efficiency but crave a touch of sophistication. You can explore it today with the Toyota payment calculator or by scheduling a test drive at Lone Star Toyota.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, the Nightshade grade delivers bold style with a sportier edge. Building on the XLE’s comfort and tech, it adds dramatic exterior touches like 9-inch black-finished alloy wheels, black bumper trim, black shark fin antenna, and blackout badging.

Step inside, and the personality continues with black SofTex®-trimmed 8-way adjustable front seats highlighted by gray stitching, plus carbon fiber detailing on the dashboard. Perfect for drivers across Irving and Fort Worth who want their hybrid to make a statement, the Nightshade combines Prius efficiency with head-turning design you won’t find anywhere else.

At the top of the lineup, the Limited grade offers the ultimate Prius experience, blending upscale luxury with advanced technology. A power liftback makes loading up groceries or gear effortless, while a driver’s seat memory function ensures every trip feels tailored to you. Inside, enjoy all-season comfort with heated and ventilated front seats, paired with immersive sound from the 8-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system.

The highlight, however, is the 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, delivering a more intuitive and connected drive around Lewisville and the greater DFW metroplex.
