The Hybrid That Raised the Bar Is Even Better Now
If you've been thinking about making the switch to a hybrid, the Toyota Prius for sale in Wallingford, CT, gives drivers power, style, and efficiency in an affordable package. At Toyota of Wallingford, we carry the full Prius lineup, and this generation is a serious step forward from anything that came before it. Striking design, real performance, and efficiency numbers that still turn heads make the Prius one of the most talked-about vehicles in our showroom.
- A fifth-generation hybrid system puts out up to 196 net combined horsepower and a manufacturer-estimated 57 MPG combined, making every commute feel like a win.
- Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 comes standard on every trim, giving you a full suite of driver-assistance technologies right out of the box.
- Four distinct trims, from the efficient LE to the premium Limited, mean there's a Prius that fits your style and your budget.
Gone are the days when "hybrid" meant boring. The Prius has a low, wide stance, sharp LED lighting, and a profile that draws attention in traffic. It's the kind of car you'll actually look forward to driving every day.
Efficiency That Keeps You Moving
The fifth-generation Toyota Hybrid System pairs a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motor generators to produce 194 net combined horsepower in front-wheel-drive models. Opt for the available Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, which outputs up to 196 net combined horsepower, with the system automatically directing power to the rear wheels whenever traction calls for it. That's a welcome feature on Connecticut roads in any season.
Fuel economy is manufacturer-estimated at up to 57 MPG combined with front-wheel drive and up to 54 MPG combined with AWD. Four selectable drive modes, Normal, ECO, SPORT, and EV, let you tune the driving experience to match the moment. EV mode runs the car on battery power alone at low speeds, which comes in handy in parking garages or heavy stop-and-go traffic. SPORT mode sharpens throttle response for a noticeably more engaging drive when you want it.
Technology That Earns Its Keep
LE and XLE trims come equipped with an 8-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen, while Nightshade and Limited trims step up to a 12.3-inch display with a more expansive, driver-focused layout. Every trim supports intuitive touch and voice controls, and with the available Drive Connect subscription, you get access to cloud navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist. Say "Hey, Toyota," and the system responds, so your hands stay on the wheel.
Smartphone integration is built in, so your contacts, music, and navigation apps connect quickly without extra setup. Over-the-Air software updates keep the system up to date without requiring a service visit.
The Toyota Prius Comes Standard With Serious Safety
Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard across all Prius trims. That package includes pre-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert with steering assist, Road Sign Assist, automatic high beams, and Proactive Driving Assist. Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert rounds out the standard safety lineup, giving you a confident view of what's beside and behind you.
The Prius also comes with a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and up to 23.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity when you need to bring more along for the ride. It's a practical, everyday car that's also fun to drive.
