Toyota has announced the pricing and range details for the 2023 Prius Prime, which is set to arrive at dealerships across the United States in May. The new model starts at $32,350, which is $4,900 more expensive than the standard Prius, excluding the destination fee. It is also $3,580 pricier than the previous Prius Prime model.

That $32,350 starting price is for the base Prius Prime SE, which comes with standard equipment like 17-inch wheels and an 8.0-inch touchscreen. Moving up to the XSE trim will cost you $35,600, and that adds larger 19-inch wheels, an optional 12.3-inch touchscreen, and power, leatherette seats, among other features.

Going all-out on the Prius Prime XSE Premium will set you back at least $39,170. That model adds a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, an upgraded JBL audio system, and a sleek fixed glass roof.

The 2023 Prius Prime is $4,900 pricier than the standard model by comparison, not including that model's $1,095 destination fee, and $3,580 more expensive than the previous Prius Prime. Compared to the RAV4 Prime, though, the plug-in Prius is still the more affordable of the two; it undercuts the RAV by nearly $10,000.

 

Model Base Price Destination
2023 Toyota Prius Prime $32,350 TBD
2023 Toyota Prius $27,450 $1,095
2022 Toyota Prius Prime $28,770 $1,095

As far as range is concerned, the Prius Prime has a confirmed 44 miles of electric-only driving and a combined 52 mpg in hybrid mode. The standard car is still slightly better with 57 mpg combined overall. Powering the plug-in Prius is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 13.6-kilowatt-hour battery pack and a single electric motor. The total system output is a hearty 220 horsepower and 139 pound-feet of torque, giving the Prius Prime a pretty spritely 60 time of 6.6 seconds.

The 2023 Toyota Prius Prime will start rolling into US dealerships officially this May.
