car_truckOn the way to practice, a weekend getaway, or a late-night airport run, the 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid XSE Premium in Guardian Gray feels purpose-built for families and small groups who need comfort, space, and modern tech without sacrificing efficiency. Four full-size doors, a thoughtfully arranged cabin, and a refined plug-in hybrid powertrain make it an easy car to share—whether it’s school carpools, commuting partners, or road trips with friends.
Under the hood, a 2.0L I-4 DOHC engine with port/direct injection works together with a hybrid electric motor alternator and lithium-ion traction battery to deliver smooth, responsive performance on regular unleaded fuel. The CVTi-S CVT with selectable drive modes and Auto stop-start operation helps keep fuel consumption low, while the plug-in hybrid system (PHEV) lets you take advantage of electric driving capability when charged.
Front-wheel drive, Active Cornering Assist and all-speed ABS with four-channel braking provide confident control, and the multi-link rear suspension with gas-pressurized shocks is tuned for everyday comfort.
Guardian Gray metallic paint pairs with black exterior accents, machined 19-inch aluminum wheels, and LED lighting for a sophisticated, modern look. Projector beam LED headlights with Automatic High Beam, LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights and a high mounted centre stop light enhance visibility. Heated, body-coloured power door mirrors with black caps, active grille shutters and a power liftgate rear cargo door add both functionality and style.
Inside, the XSE Premium trim delivers an upscale environment centered around everyday usability. SofTex leatherette upholstery covers both front and rear seats, with heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and a power-adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and memory.
The rear bench offers 60/40 split-folding capability and a fold-forward seatback for expanding the carpeted cargo area, which includes concealed storage, cargo tie-downs, a folding cargo cover and a tire mobility kit. Dual sunroofs—with first-row fixed glass and second-row coverage—help the cabin feel airy and open.
Comfort is further supported by automatic climate control with a cabin air filter, rear under-seat ducts, and Toyota Assistant voice-activated climate operation. Remote Connect (3-year trial) allows remote-activated interior climate preconditioning, so the cabin can be cooled or warmed before you even step inside. Illuminated entry, an illuminated glove box, fade-in courtesy lighting, and multiple cup and bottle holders throughout the cabin emphasize convenience for every seat.
Technology is a central strength of this Prius Plug-In Hybrid XSE Premium.
A 12.3-inch primary touchscreen display anchors the Toyota Audio Multimedia system, supporting Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, RDS, external media, internet radio capability and an AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3-month trial. JBL speakers, an amplifier and Clari-Fi digital signal processing elevate audio quality. Smart device wireless mirroring, Qi wireless charging, six USB ports, a 120V AC outlet and a 12V power outlet ensure everyone’s devices stay charged and connected.
Navigation and connectivity are equally advanced, with Drive Connect Cloud Navigation with a 3-year trial, Destination Assist and real-time traffic plus real-time weather. Drive Connect Intelligent Assistant and Toyota Assistant bring voice-activated control to navigation, audio and climate. Over-the-air updates help keep systems current, while the Toyota App provides mobile access and Remote Connect (3-year trial) supports remote services, including Digital Key functionality so a compatible smart device can act as your key.
The digital cockpit includes a configurable digital instrumentation display, a 7.0-inch gauge cluster, traction battery level and power/regeneration gauges, ECO feedback, trip computer and comprehensive vehicle status alerts.
A Digital Rearview Mirror with video feed improves rear visibility even with passengers or cargo in the back.
Safety is a clear priority. This Prius Plug-In Hybrid is equipped with Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies such as Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Support, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beam. Additional systems include Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Seat Reminder, Front Cross Traffic Alert, Vehicle Proximity Notification System, Safe Exit Alert, Emergency Steering Assist and an Emergency Driving Stop System for unresponsive driver situations.
Eight airbags—including front, side, curtain and rear side-impact units—work alongside front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, rear child safety door locks and a rear centre 3-point belt.
SafetyConnect® with up to a 10-year trial offers emergency SOS, vehicle tracking and Service Connect maintenance notifications. Parking Support Brake, front and rear parking sensors, Panoramic View Monitor with aerial view, front/side/rear cameras with washer, and Advanced Park automatic parking assistance simplify tight-space manoeuvres.
Smart Key with hands-free access and push button start, keyless entry, trunk release via keyfob and power cargo area access complete a user-friendly experience. With only 3 kilometres on the odometer, this new 2026 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid XSE Premium stands ready to deliver efficient, technology-rich and safety-focused driving for you and the people you travel with every day.
