car_truckFor decades, Prius has stood as a bellwether for intelligent efficiency, and the 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid XSE PREMIUM advances that legacy with bold intent. This new-generation sedan pairs a taut, coupe-like profile and monotone metallic finish with carefully honed aerodynamics, from active grille shutters to crisp LED illumination. Sitting confidently on 19-inch machined alloy wheels with painted accents and wrapped in all-season rubber, it blends purpose with polish—sleek without shouting, modern without losing the timeless Prius focus on smart, everyday usability.
Beneath the sculpted hood, a 2.0L I-4 with port/direct injection and DOHC variable valve control works in concert with a lithium-ion plug-in hybrid system. The hybrid motor alternator and motorized starter deliver seamless electric assistance, while CVTi-S continuously variable transmission optimizes response and efficiency.
Auto stop-start, regenerative braking, and a driver-selectable mode set underline its hybrid intelligence, and the front-wheel-drive layout puts power down with a natural, composed feel. With LEV3-SULEV30 and Tier 3 Bin 30 emissions ratings and estimated efficiency of 4.7 city and 5.0 highway, this PHEV balances performance and restraint with signature Prius finesse.
Chassis tuning favors precision and comfort in equal measure. Independent front suspension with struts and a multi-link rear work alongside gas-pressurized dampers, front and rear anti-roll bars, and Active Cornering Assist to deliver confident, predictable handling. Four-wheel disc brakes with ventilated fronts, predictive brake assist, automatic post-collision braking, and an electronic parking brake with brake hold reinforce your sense of control in stop-and-go and spirited driving alike. Electronic stability control and all-speed traction management support you quietly in the background.
Inside, thoughtful craftsmanship meets advanced tech.
SofTex leatherette upholstery, piano black and metal-look accents, and a cloth headliner create a refined atmosphere, while heated and ventilated front buckets and heated rear seats keep comfort front and center. The driver benefits from 8-way power adjustment with lumbar and two-position memory; rear occupants enjoy a folding 60/40 bench with adjustable head restraints. A dual sunroof brightens the cabin, and a Digital Rearview Mirror enhances visibility. Smart Key with push button start, power trunk with auto-latching, and retained accessory power simplify every departure.
Connectivity and sound take a leap with a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen anchored by JBL speakers, an integrated amplifier, and Clari-Fi processing. Toyota Assistant voice control, wireless smartphone mirroring, Qi wireless charging, six USB ports, a 120V AC outlet, and speed-sensitive volume make daily use effortless.
Drive Connect integrates Cloud Navigation with real-time traffic and weather, Destination Assist, and Intelligent Assistant; Remote Connect adds Digital Key functionality and climate preconditioning; Service Connect helps you stay ahead of maintenance; over-the-air updates and the Toyota App keep features current. SafetyConnect® with an up to 10-year trial provides added peace of mind.
Driver assistance is comprehensive and designed to support, not replace, attentive driving. Toyota Safety Sense™ brings Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Support, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Automatic High Beam. Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor with Safe Exit Alert, Parking Support Brake, Panoramic View Monitor, perimeter sensors, Advanced Park, Emergency Driving Stop System, and a Driver Monitor Camera further elevate confidence.
With only 3 kilometers on the odometer and the poise of a true hybrid icon, this XSE PREMIUM writes the next Prius chapter with clarity, efficiency, and a distinctly premium edge.
