2022 Prius Prime is here
The carryover 2022 Prius Prime is here and has significant customer cash rebates.
The 2022 Toyota Prius Prime has a few government rebates and credits and cash incentives that lead to big discounts, but it lacks promotion lease offers and APR deals. Dealerships are experiencing inventory shortages, so you may have a hard time finding the perfect Prius Prime for you.
Toyota's offers are regional and expire on November 1, 2021. All deals mentioned here assume a Southern California location unless otherwise noted. This page is updated monthly with the latest incentives, so be sure to check back for the latest information.
Toyota Prius Prime Lease Deals
Lease from $329/mo.
The 2022 Prius Prime's lease offer is a 36-month deal on the LE trim that runs an estimated $329 per month with $2,979 due at signing.
With an effective monthly cost of $412, this is not a good value relative to its MSRP.

Introduction
What's New
The 2022 Toyota Prius Prime continues as the plug-in member of the Prius family of hybrids. Changes this year are minimal, although the Prius Prime has received several equipment updates since the hatchback's 2017 debut.
Choosing Your Toyota Prius Prime
The Prius Prime PHEV once again comes in three trim levels: LE, LXE, and Limited.
Pricing starts at $29,215 including destination and tops out at $34,995 for the Limited — the same as last year.
Engine Choices
The Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder gas engine and an electric motor. The system puts out 121 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable transmission sends power to the front wheels.
With the battery fully charged, the Prius Prime can travel up to 25 miles on electricity only. During this period, it's EPA-rated at 133 MPGe (miles per gallon gasoline equivalent) combined. After that, it runs on a combination of gas and electricity, just like the conventional Prius hybrid, and earns an EPA rating of 54 miles per gallon combined.
According to Toyota, recharging takes up to 5.5 hours on a standard household outlet, and two hours and 10 minutes on a 240-volt (Level 2) charger. The Prius Prime's high efficiency and electric-only capability give it a total driving range of 640 miles.
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The Prius Prime can easily accommodate five passengers, along with up to 19.8 cubic feet of cargo. Load space would be greater if not for the intrusive battery back. Folding the rear seats gives buyers more room to work with.
Safety Features
Every Prius Prime comes thoroughly equipped with driver assistance safety technology, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, road departure warning with steering assist, automatic high beams, road sign assist, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking.
The Limited also gets blind-spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic wipers.
Connectivity
The standard infotainment system for the Prius Prime offers a 7-inch touchscreen, six speakers, satellite radio, four USB ports, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
The mid-level XLE picks up an 11.6-inch touchscreen, navigation, HD radio, and wireless phone charging.
A head-up display and 10-speaker JBL audio system are exclusive to the Limited.
The LE comes smartly equipped with features like automatic climate control, power-folding side mirrors, full LED exterior lighting, proximity key access for the driver door, a cargo area cover, and cloth seats with leatherette trim. The LE rolls on 15-inch alloy wheels.
Prius Prime XLE — From $30,995
The XLE offers a full leatherette interior with heated front seats and an eight-way power driver seat. Other upgrades include a charging cable lock and proximity key access for three doors.
Prius Prime Limited — From $34,995
In addition to its extra safety and infotainment features, the Limited comes with a heated steering wheel, LED fog lights, LED exterior accent lighting, remote air conditioning activation, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with integrated universal home remote.
