The fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System powers the 2026 Toyota Prius with a combination of a 2.0L 4-cylinder hybrid engine and two electric motors paired with an electronically controlled Continuously Variable Transmission. Front-Wheel Drive models produce 194 hp and achieve a swift 0–60 mph time of 7.2 seconds, all while delivering up to an EPA-estimated 57 combined mpg. When equipped with Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, the Prius gains a rear permanent-magnet motor for up to 196 net combined horsepower and a 0–60 mph time of 7.0 seconds.

Built for smooth, confident handling, the 2026 Prius benefits from a low center of gravity that enhances cornering stability and control during acceleration or braking. A selection of drive modes allows you to tailor the experience: EV Mode enables low-speed electric-only driving, Power Mode sharpens acceleration, ECO Mode prioritizes efficiency and Normal Mode balances performance and fuel savings for everyday driving.
