a buyers guide to the 22 toyota prius in alcoa, tn

The Toyota Prius was one of the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicles. Since its unveiling in 1997, the Prius has become a front-runner in the automotive world. The 2022 Toyota Prius has secured its place at the front of the pack by being green, tech-forward, and most importantly – reliable. Read on to see why the 2022 Prius is the talk of the town.

 

Basics About the 2022 Toyota Prius

The 2022 Prius is a four-door hybrid sedan. Toyota offers eight trim levels this year: L Eco, XLE, LE, Nightshade Edition FWD, LE AWD-e, XLE AWD-e, Nightshade Edition AWD-e, and Limited. Each trim contains a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine and comes standard with Toyota’s hybrid powertrain. It is also worth noting that the base (L Eco) 2022 Prius can attain ~56 MPG.

The largest differences between the trim levels, especially the upper trim levels, are the option for AWD/FWD and design choices. For example, the Nightshade Edition, available in either AWD or FWD, features blacked-out features – such as headlights and rims. The AWD-e trims feature a rear-wheel electric motor. 

What’s New for 2022

The Nightshade Edition is a new installment in 2022. It is available in three different color options: Midnight Black, Silver, and Super White. And what’s more, is that the Nightshade FWD trim features 17-inch tires. Other than the new trim, Toyota keeps it simple with their classically dependable hybrid. 

Interior

You wouldn’t expect much out of cargo space when looking at the Prius. The 2022 model offers 27.4 cubic feet of storage behind the second row and a spacious 50.7 cubic feet with the second row folded down. The Prius is also equipped with a seven-inch touchscreen display (11.6-inch in the limited), perfect for keeping you updated on what’s going on inside the cabin. It aids in temperature control, music selection, and has Apple/Android connectivity.

By utilizing the Toyota+Alexa app, you’ll also have the added aid of Amazon’s virtual assistant, Alexa. Alexa can help you with making voice commands, like checking the news or controlling smart-home devices, so you can keep your focus on the road. The 2022 Prius also features a heads-up display, so all necessary driving information is just a glance away. The Prius’ language is nuance, with thoughtful technology and generous interior design.

Toyota has done it again with the 2022 Prius. With the plethora of trim levels, innovative technology, and next-level capabilities, it sets a model for what hybrid cars should strive to be. The next step in the Toyota shopping process is finding a dealer that brings the same level of professionalism that Toyota puts into their vehicles.
