The combination of the new, larger engine and the new lithium-ion battery results in 99 more horsepower than the previous model. More improvements have been made to the vehicle’s acceleration feel and speed controllability, making for a driving experience and accelerator response that is unique to electric vehicles.

Finally, more Toyota vehicles, including the Prius Prime, will have passenger seats with power adjustments. The highest trim level also comes with a driver seat memory system, ventilated front seats, and heated back seats.

Seating in the 2023 Prius Prime is lower. Those inside may feel more confined due to its height. Inside, you’ll find just a little extra space than in the previous year’s model. Traction batteries are placed optimally, under the rear seat, contributing to a low centre of gravity and increased cargo space.
