If you’re looking for a fuel-efficient and high-tech model for your Santa Cruz travels, then the 2021 Toyota Prius MPG is bound to impress you.

2021 Toyota Prius Gas Mileage by Trim

As a hybrid model, the Toyota Prius gas mileage makes use of both a traditional 1.8L 4-cylinder engine combustion engine and electric motor. This boosts both power and fuel economy, resulting in a lively performance that maximizes every last drop of fuel in the tank. Take a look at the Toyota Prius Hybrid MPG by trim:

  • Toyota Prius L Eco: 58 city / 53 highway / 56 combined*
  • Toyota Prius LE: 54 city / 50 highway / 52 combined*
  • Toyota Prius LE AWD-e: 54 city / 47 highway / 49 combined*

Prius AWD-e Powertrain

While the Toyota Prius has always been groundbreaking in terms of hybrid technology, the 2019 Prius also saw a remodel and renovation – including the addition of electronic all-wheel drive (AWD-e) as an alternative to the standard front-wheel drive. While front-wheel drive optimizes your fuel economy, AWD-e optimizes performance with boosted traction and extra ground clearance. So whether dealing with snow in Watsonville or muddy trails in Santa Clara, your Prius will stand strong with benefits like:

  • Improved traction in inclement weather conditions
  • Extra grip on muddy or gravel roads
  • Up to 49 combined MPG
  • Toyota Safety Sense P™ (TSS-P) for additional safety

For the 2021 model year, you can take your pick of the budget-friendly LE AWD-e or the deluxe XLE AWD-e to experience Toyota’s innovative electronic all-wheel-drive system.
