The 2019 Toyota Prius is a hybrid compact hatchback with eccentric styling and great fuel economy. Whether you’re looking for a daily commuter or a road trip vehicle, the Prius is a great option. With a new all-wheel-drive system and updated styling, the 2019 Prius has serious staying power.
Updated Engine and Exterior
New for 2019, the Prius is available with an all-wheel-drive system. The on-demand system features an electric rear motor that operates separately from the hybrid system and sends power to the rear wheels when needed. The new model’s sport updated front and rear bumpers, additional wheel designs, a fresh rear hatch, and new LED headlights and taillights. New exterior paint color options are available such as Supersonic Red and Electric Storm Blue.
Great Gas Mileage
In the base front-wheel-drive L Eco trim level, the 2019 version gets the same estimated gas mileage as the 2018 version, coming in at 58/53/56 miles per gallon in the city/highway/combined. The AWD-e model gets an estimated 52/48/50 miles per gallon. The base front-wheel-drive models have a lithium-ion battery pack, while the AWD-e models feature a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack, which offers better extreme-cold performance.
Seriously Safe
The 2019 Prius comes with a number of standard safety features, such as forward collision warning and automatic braking, lane-departure warning and intervention, passenger seat cushion air bag, and driver knee air bags. Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-alert systems are also standard equipment on some models.
