2021 Toyota Prius Model Review - Decatur, IL

What's New For the 2021 Toyota Prius?

When you think of hybrid vehicles on the road, the Toyota Prius instantly comes to mind. The Toyota Prius is one of the most popular hybrid cars on the market, and for a good reason. The Prius gets exceptional fuel economy, and it continually evolves to give consumers new and exciting features. The 2021 Toyota Prius follows that tradition by offering a special limited-edition trim. There are some updates to the Prius's safety technology this year too, and it also adds Android Auto compatibility. Along with its additional creature comforts, the Toyota Prius demonstrates its handling capabilities in 2021 as well with the option of all-wheel drive for extra traction on slippery roads.

The 2021 Toyota Prius lineup features five trim levels. The first trim, called the L Eco, gets 15-inch wheels and automatic LED lights.
