Hatchback
car_truckEngineered for drivers who care about every litre of fuel and every gram of emissions, this New 2026 Toyota Prius XLE Hatchback turns daily commuting into a low-impact, high-efficiency routine. Its advanced HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) system, combining a 2.0L I-4 port/direct injection DOHC engine with a hybrid electric motor alternator and lithium-ion traction battery, is tuned to deliver impressive city mileage of 4.8 L/100 km and 4.7 L/100 km on the highway. LEV3-SULEV30 and Tier 3 Bin 30 emissions standards underscore its eco-conscious design, while features like Auto stop-start and regenerative braking help conserve fuel and recapture energy during every drive.
Power comes from the 2.0L I-4 engine with 150 horsepower working in concert with the hybrid system and CVTi-S continuously variable transmission.
The automatic full-time all-wheel drive and driver selectable drivetrain modes provide confident traction in changing conditions, while Electronic stability control, Active Cornering Assist and all-speed ABS with four-channel control enhance stability and braking precision. The suspension uses independent front struts and a multi-link rear configuration with gas-pressurized shocks, coil springs, and front and rear anti-roll bars to balance comfort with composed handling.
Inside, the Prius XLE pairs efficiency with comfort. Heated bucket front seats are trimmed in SofTex leatherette, with an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat including 2-way power lumbar and a 6-way adjustable front passenger seat. Rear passengers benefit from a 60/40 folding bench with three height-adjustable head restraints, allowing flexible cargo expansion. Practical touches are everywhere: illuminated entry, full carpet floor coverage, a mini overhead console, covered floor console storage, illuminated glove box, eight beverage holders, and multiple door bins.
The cargo area adds a folding cargo cover, concealed storage, tie-downs, and a carpeted floor to keep everyday items secure and organized.
Technology is a standout, anchored by a primary 8-inch touchscreen with Toyota Audio Multimedia capability, 2 front-row displays and digital instrumentation including configurable gauges, ECO feedback, and dedicated traction battery level and regeneration readouts. Seamless smartphone integration is built around both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility through smart device wireless mirroring, creating a highly connected driving environment. With Apple CarPlay, your iPhone becomes an extension of the Prius interface, placing maps, calls, messages and your favourite apps into an intuitive, driver-focused layout on the touchscreen. Voice interaction helps keep your hands on the wheel, and steering wheel audio controls make it easy to adjust what you’re listening to without distraction.
Android Auto is equally well integrated, giving Android users direct, streamlined access to Google Maps, music apps, messaging and Google Assistant through the same clear 8-inch display.
The system is tuned for responsiveness and clarity, helping you transition between navigation, communication and audio with minimal taps. This deep integration is supported by Bluetooth handsfree connectivity, Bluetooth audio streaming, standard-grade 6-speaker sound, AM/FM/SiriusXM satellite radio with a 3‑month trial, internet radio capability, speed-sensitive volume, and an integrated roof antenna. Six USB ports ensure devices stay charged, while Smart device remote start, the Toyota App, Remote Connect (3-year trial) and Drive Connect Destination Assist capability (subscription required) extend connectivity beyond the cabin.
Comfort is managed by automatic climate control with a cabin air filter, rear under-seat ducts and Toyota Assistant voice-activated climate control, allowing you to adjust temperature and airflow simply by speaking. The SofTex leatherette steering wheel is heated, manually tilting and telescoping, and houses audio, cruise and driver information controls.
Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management supports smoother highway travel, complemented by Automatic High Beam headlights for improved night visibility.
Toyota Safety Sense™ technologies are deeply embedded. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Pre-Collision System with Intersection Support, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian (Daytime & Low-Light) and Bicycle (Daytime) Detection, Road Sign Assist, Vehicle Sway Warning, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Front Cross Traffic Alert deliver layered driver assistance. The Emergency Driving Stop System, Safe Exit Alert and Vehicle Proximity Notification System add further confidence in dynamic, urban and low-speed environments. Eight airbags, including front, side, curtain and rear side impact protection, combine with rear child safety locks, a rearview camera and four seatbelt pretensioners to form a robust safety envelope.
Exterior details reflect a modern, functional hatchback design: metallic monotone paint in colour code 01M2 with body-coloured bumpers and door handles, black grille and side window trim, projector beam LED headlights with LED daytime running lights, LED brake lights and a high-mounted centre stop light.
Heated, power door mirrors with black housings and 19 x 6.5-inch machined aluminum wheels with P195/50HR19 all-season tires complete the look. Rain-sensing, speed-sensitive wipers, rear window defroster and an electronic parking brake add day-to-day convenience.
With only 3 kilometres on the odometer and Hybrid, AWD efficiency at its core, this 2026 Toyota Prius XLE Hatchback offers a sophisticated blend of low emissions, advanced connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and comprehensive safety—crafted for drivers who want to tread lighter on the environment without giving up modern comfort or technology.
