Used 2020 Toyota Prius Hatchback Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2020 Toyota Prius is a four-door hatchback hybrid that seats five passengers. The front-wheel-drive model is available in four trim levels: L Eco, LE, XLE and Limited. The Prius AWD-e is offered in the LE and XLE trims.

Power for the Prius comes from a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and a pair of electric motor-generators. Their combined 121 horsepower is sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission to the front wheels. The AWD-e models add an electric motor for the rear axle.

The L Eco trim is equipped with ultra-low-rolling resistance tires, a lighter hybrid battery, and an inflation kit instead of a spare tire. Those features help contribute to the L Eco's impressive 56 mpg combined rating. The other Prius trims are rated at 52 mpg or 50 mpg (AWD-e).

Standard features for the L Eco include 15-inch wheels, automatic LED headlights, heated mirrors, keyless entry (driver door only) and ignition, automatic climate control, adaptive cruise control, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, and a 60/40-split folding rear seat.

Also standard is a 7-inch touchscreen display, a six-speaker audio system, and Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa integration. Standard safety features include Toyota's Safety Connect emergency communications, automatic high beams, forward collision mitigation with automatic braking, and lane departure warning and intervention.

The LE trim adds a rear window wiper, a cargo cover, parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and an automated parallel parking system.

Stepping up to the XLE trim gets you features such as 17-inch wheels, automatic wipers, keyless entry for the front passenger door and rear hatch, SofTex simulated leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver's seat, and a wireless charging pad. The Advanced Technology package further adds a head-up display and adaptive headlights.

The top-trim Limited includes the sunroof and Advanced Technology package, plus a navigation system, an 11.6-inch touchscreen and a premium JBL audio system.

Which Prius trim does Edmunds recommend?

The base L Eco is value-heavy, with a healthy list of features for a reasonable price. That said, we think the next-level LE is the smart pick. The LE doesn't cost much more than the L Eco and includes thoughtful additions, such as a cargo cover, rear wiper, a blind-spot monitor, and parking sensors. Automated parallel parking is also equipped, which is an extraordinarily rare feature at this price level.
