The Prius has spent more than two and a half decades proving that fuel efficiency doesn’t have to be boring, and the 2027 model keeps that momentum going. Toyota‘s iconic hybrid returns with its bold, low-slung silhouette intact, refreshed color options headlined by the new-for-2027 Inked finish, and a cabin upgrade that finally brings dual-zone climate control to the party. It’s a familiar recipe with just enough polish to keep the Prius feeling relevant in an increasingly crowded hybrid field.

New for 2027, dual-zone automatic HVAC lets the driver and front passenger dial in their own temperatures. It’s a small addition on paper, but it’s the kind of everyday comfort upgrade that makes the cabin feel a notch more premium.

LE buyers get 6-way adjustable fabric-trimmed seats in black or grey, while XLE and up move to 8-way SofTex®-trimmed thrones with heating. Step into Limited and you’ll find ventilated front seats plus a memory function for the driver, so your ideal position is always one button away.

Six USB-C ports keep every passenger charged, and XLE adds a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad for cable-free convenience. Five-year trials of Safety Connect, Service Connect and Remote Connect round out the tech, alongside a 30-day Wi-Fi Connect trial.

Exterior color choices span Cutting Edge, Guardian Gray, Reservoir Blue, and the new-for-2027 Inked, giving buyers a fresh way to stand out. Each shade plays to the Prius’s sharp lines in its own way.
