What’s new for the 2027 Toyota Prius: what changed from 2026 for Danvers buyers?

The 2027 Toyota Prius is a model-year update rather than a redesign. It keeps its 2026 starting prices, from $28,755 for the LE, and its EPA ratings change. Ira Toyota of Danvers sells the Prius and the Prius Plug-in Hybrid to North Shore buyers.

Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Danvers. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.

The 2027 Toyota Prius is a refresh of the 2026, not a redesign

Toyota’s published 2026 specifications are the baseline for a 2027 comparison. The base front-wheel-drive Prius is EPA certified at 57 city, 56 highway and 57 combined mpg, and the 2026 Prius starts at $28,755 for the LE.

For 2027, the EPA certifies the base front-wheel-drive Prius at 59 city, 50 highway and 55 combined mpg, and Toyota lists the same starting price for every trim. The price and mileage sections that follow give the 2026 and 2027 figures for each trim.

Ira Toyota of Danvers lists the Prius and the Prius Plug-in Hybrid among the new Toyota models it sells. A buyer on the North Shore can look at both model years through the same store.

How much more does the 2027 Toyota Prius cost than the 2026?

Toyota lists the 2027 Prius at the same starting prices as the 2026, from $28,755 to $37,170. The LE is the entry trim, and the Limited AWD is the top of the range.

Each step up in the table adds equipment or drive configuration, so the right comparison is trim against trim.

How do 2027 Toyota Prius EPA ratings compare with the 2026?

The 2026 Prius base front-wheel-drive model is EPA certified at 57 city, 56 highway and 57 combined mpg. The all-wheel-drive versions come in lower, at 53 city, 54 highway and 54 combined mpg for the base AWD model.

EPA certified figures for the 2026 model year are the ones on the window sticker. Each row below belongs to the trim it names.

For 2027, the EPA certifies the same four versions at these figures:

Against 2026, every 2027 version gains 2 or 3 mpg in the city, loses 5 or 6 mpg on the highway and drops 1 or 2 mpg combined.

Across the table, the all-wheel-drive versions post lower numbers than their front-wheel-drive counterparts. A buyer who values fuel economy most should compare the base front-wheel-drive row with the all-wheel-drive row before choosing. A buyer who needs all-wheel drive for winter roads will see the mpg trade-off in the same table.

What trims and drivetrains does the 2027 Toyota Prius come in?

The LE, the XLE and the Nightshade each have a front-wheel-drive model and an all-wheel-drive model in the price table above. The Limited costs $35,770 with front-wheel drive and $37,170 with all-wheel drive. A buyer who wants all-wheel drive at the lowest price starts with the LE AWD at $30,155.

Drivetrain is the choice that changes the mileage most, as the EPA table shows. Trim is the choice that changes the price most. Decide which of the two matters more to you before you compare stickers.

What stays the same on the 2027 Toyota Prius from 2026?

Toyota’s published 2026 specifications give the LE, LE AWD and XLE the same cabin dimensions: 43.2 inches of legroom in the first row and 34.8 inches in the second row, with seating for five.

The LE is rated at 194 hp, and the LE AWD is rated at 196 hp. The gasoline engine alone is listed at 150 hp and 139 lb-ft of torque. Those engine-only figures are not the vehicle’s total output, so use the 194 and 196 hp ratings when you compare the Prius with the rest of the lineup.

Toyota’s 2027 specifications keep the same figures: seating for five, 43.2 inches of first-row and 34.8 inches of second-row legroom, and 194 hp on the LE against 196 hp on the LE AWD. With the starting prices unchanged too, the EPA ratings are the change to weigh.
