Hybrid vehicles are a common sight on U.S. roads today, but that wasn’t the case 25 years ago. When the Toyota Prius first launched, it marked a bold step toward a more fuel-efficient future—at a time when few could predict its lasting impact. Now, the 2026 Prius is set to honor that legacy and celebrate how far hybrid technology has come.
A True Electrified Trailblazer: The Toyota Prius
When hybrid sedans first entered the market, there was plenty of skepticism. But Toyota changed the conversation with the Prius. Introduced in North America in 2000, it offered a practical, eco-friendly option without asking drivers to sacrifice reliability or everyday usability. Its unique design also made it instantly recognizable and widely respected.
The all-new 2026 Prius builds on that foundation with modern styling and upgraded performance. It will be available in LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited trims—all equipped with Toyota’s fifth-generation Hybrid System. The latest model delivers up to 196 net-combined horsepower with electronic on-demand all-wheel drive, or 195 horsepower with front-wheel drive.
Staying true to its roots, the 2026 Prius puts efficiency first. It comes with an electronically controlled braking system and a user-friendly EV mode to help drivers make the most of every drive. Despite its efficiency focus, the Prius still delivers a responsive and enjoyable experience behind the wheel.
The interior has also been updated with today’s tech-savvy drivers in mind. A standard 8-inch touchscreen is included, while an optional 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia display adds even more convenience. For those who enjoy great sound on the go, an available JBL premium sound system elevates the experience.
