The new 2021 Toyota Prius Prime Limited offers a near silent no-gas EV mode (when charged), combined with Toyota’s value and durability and as a result, it’s become one of the world’s best-selling hybrid vehicles.
New for 2021, the Prius Prime upgrades from Toyota Safety Sense-P to Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 for 2021. Essentially, the Prius Prime takes everything people love about the world’s best-selling hybrid vehicle and adds an estimated 25 miles of EV driving range (when fully charged). That’s sufficient enough to handle daily commuting distances for many U.S. drivers.
Inside, there’s SofTex-trimmed heated front seats with armrests and seatback pockets; 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support; 4-way adjustable front passenger seat, with Soft-touch upper door trim with chrome accent, and a SofTex-trimmed door armrest area with chrome interior door handles. And there’s an auto-dimming rearview mirror with a HomeLink® universal transceiver. The rear center console has an armrest, storage compartment and two rear cup/bottle holders plus, the car has enough room for five passengers. When in reverse, Prius Prime has a standard integrated backup camera uses a wide-angle lens to display a large viewing area.
