Hybrid vehicle technology is commonplace in the United States today, but back when the Toyota Prius debuted 25 years ago, it was a novelty, an uncertainty. It was Toyota's Prius that introduced Americans to a more efficient modern sedan. The new 2026 Prius will be a celebration of the revolution that the Prius started so long ago.
A True Electrified Trailblazer: The Toyota Prius
There was a time when a hybrid sedan was a novelty, something that might or might not catch on. Toyota's hard work on the original Prius design started a nationwide revolution in America. Arriving in North America in 2000, the Prius gave drivers a way to take care of their environment without having to give up their personal transportation. And the first Prius models were also eye-catching, something a person could be proud to be seen in.
In 2026, Prius will celebrate its legacy with an all-new vision for the model. Available in LE, XLE, Nightshade, and Limited trims, the 2026 Prius will show off the fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System and an incredible 196 net-combined horsepower. For people who wanted a stronger Prius, that's also in the mix. Drivers will enjoy available electronic on-demand all-wheel drive. For those who want front-wheel drive, that's available, too, at 195 net-combined horsepower.
The hybrid system isn't the only thing that makes the Prius so efficient. Toyota also gives the 2026 Prius an electronically controlled brake system and simple EV mode that makes it easy to transition into a more efficient drive. And with the impressive 196 net-combined horsepower, drivers won't have to give up their quick and fun drives just to enjoy that efficiency.
Drivers also have a treat ahead in the technology department. While the standard touchscreen is still eight inches, drivers can upgrade to a 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia screen if they'd like. A JBL sound system is available for the 2026 Prius as well, giving drivers a way to keep themselves and the whole crowd entertained on long drives. And this is just the beginning of all the good things about the upcoming new Prius. Drivers and their families are welcome to stop by our dealership to admire and test drive the latest Prius. Toyota makes the 2026 model year a very special one.
