2027 Toyota Prius Trims and Pricing: LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited
The 2027 Toyota Prius comes in four grades: LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited. Every grade can be ordered with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive. TSRP starts at $30,050 for the LE and tops out at $38,465 for the Limited with all-wheel drive. Below you will find what each grade costs, what it adds, and how the two drivetrains compare.
2027 Toyota Prius Pricing by Trim
One pattern runs through the whole lineup. All-wheel drive adds exactly $1,400 to TSRP on every grade. That means the drivetrain decision carries the same price on an entry LE as it does on a loaded Limited.
| Trim | Front-Wheel Drive TSRP | All-Wheel Drive TSRP |
|---|---|---|
| LE | $30,050 | $31,450 |
| XLE | $33,495 | $34,895 |
| Nightshade | $34,300 | $35,700 |
| Limited | $37,065 | $38,465 |
Total Suggested Retail Price (TSRP) for new vehicles includes manufacturer and distributor options and delivery, processing, and handling fees, which are subject to change at any time. TSRP excludes taxes, title, license, dealer-installed options, accessories, fees and charges. TSRP is not the dealer advertised price. Dealer prices will vary. The dealer sets the final price.
What Each 2027 Prius Trim Adds
Each step up the ladder changes the wheels, the seating material, the screen, and the convenience equipment. The LE covers the essentials. The XLE adds the comfort features most shoppers ask about. The Nightshade is an appearance package. The Limited collects the lineup’s technology and comfort upgrades.
If the blacked-out look is what caught your eye, our overview of the Nightshade appearance package explains how Toyota applies it across the lineup.
| Trim | Wheels | Key Standard Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| LE | 17-inch alloy | 8.0-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, fabric seating |
| XLE | 19-inch alloy | SofTex-trimmed seating, heated front seats, rain-sensing wipers, wireless device charging |
| Nightshade | 19-inch black alloy | Black exterior badging, Nightshade-exclusive Karashi paint availability |
| Limited | 19-inch alloy | 12.3-inch touchscreen, 8-speaker JBL Premium Audio, ventilated front seats, power liftback |
Front-Wheel Drive vs. Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive
Front-wheel-drive models send power to the front axle through the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System (THS 5). All-wheel-drive models add an independent rear electric motor. That motor powers the rear wheels when sensors detect the front wheels slipping.
The system works electronically instead of through a driveshaft running between the axles. So it adds all-weather traction without the weight of a conventional all-wheel-drive setup, and it raises net combined output slightly.
Front-Wheel Drive
- 194 net combined horsepower
- EPA-estimated 55 mpg combined on the LE grade
- No additional cost
- No rear electric motor
Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive
- 196 net combined horsepower
- EPA-estimated 53 mpg combined on the LE grade
- Adds $1,400 to TSRP on every grade
- Independent rear electric motor
All-wheel drive adds two horsepower and gives up two combined mpg on the LE grade. Weighing all-wheel drive across the wider Toyota lineup? See which Toyota vehicles offer all-wheel drive.
2027 Toyota Prius Fuel Economy
All four grades share the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder hybrid engine and an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (eCVT). Fuel economy still varies, because drivetrain and wheel size both affect it.
Toyota rates the LE with front-wheel drive at an EPA-estimated 55 mpg combined. The LE with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive is rated at an EPA-estimated 53 mpg combined. Both figures come from Toyota’s official 2027 Prius announcement.
The LE rides on 17-inch wheels. The XLE, Nightshade, and Limited move up to 19-inch wheels, which add stance and grip. Bigger wheels carry a small efficiency trade-off against the LE.
EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
