Toyota has announced the pricing for its 2027 model-year Prius and Prius Plug-In Hybrid (PHEV) vehicles available in Canada. The updated lineup introduces new standard features and refined options for the popular hybrid models. The base 2027 Prius XLE AWD will have a starting price of CDN$39,000 before additional charges, bringing the total to approximately $42,588 when factoring in freight, PDI, A/C charge, dealer fees, and other associated costs, though taxes are not included.
2027 Toyota Prius: Powertrain and Efficiency
The standard 2027 Toyota Prius hybrid model features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor, powering a standard all-wheel-drive system. This combination delivers a total system output of 196 horsepower. Toyota estimates its fuel efficiency at 4.8 liters per 100 kilometers for combined city and highway. This represents a robust performance for a hybrid vehicle focused on efficiency.
Prius PHEV: Enhanced Performance and Range
The plug-in hybrid variant, the 2027 Prius PHEV, offers a more potent powertrain, generating approximately 220 horsepower. This increased power provides a more dynamic experience. The PHEV models also come equipped with dual-voltage chargers as standard, enhancing charging convenience for owners.
Trim Levels and Features for the 2027 Prius
Prius XLE AWD and Limited AWD
For the standard Prius hybrid, the XLE AWD trim serves as the entry point. Those seeking additional features can upgrade to the Limited AWD trim. This higher-tier model commands a premium of about $6,000 over the XLE AWD, resulting in a price of approximately $48,288 after fees. The Limited AWD trim enhances the vehicle with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a premium JBL audio system, and comfort features such as heated and ventilated front seats, along with heated rear seats.
Prius PHEV Trims: SE, XSE, and XSE Premium
The Prius PHEV offers a tiered selection of trims: SE, XSE, and XSE Premium. The SE trim is the entry-level plug-in hybrid model, with a starting price of CDN$41,080, or roughly $44,668 after fees. Moving up to the XSE trim involves an additional cost of approximately CDN$4,000. This upgrade includes a larger dashboard touchscreen, larger wheels (upgrading from 17-inch to 19-inch), and the addition of Traffic-Jam Assist and Front and Rear Parking Assist systems. However, this transition results in a reduction of the electric-only range, decreasing from 72 kilometers to 64 kilometers.
The top-tier XSE Premium trim for the Prius PHEV is priced around CDN$3,700 higher than the XSE trim (after fees). This premium grants buyers the inclusion of the JBL audio system and several other desirable upgrades, further enhancing the luxury and technological offerings of the vehicle.
Standard Features Across the 2027 Prius Lineup
Toyota is making significant feature upgrades standard across the entire 2027 Prius range. All models will now come equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, ensuring consistent comfort for all occupants regardless of the trim level. As previously mentioned, the Plug-In Hybrid models will also include dual-voltage chargers as standard equipment.
