Prius Options and Equipment Packages Explained
We’ve found that a lot of our customers aren’t always clear on how Priuses are equipped and which Prius is right for them. With the Toyota Prius, Toyota uses a “package” system – offering a Prius II, III, IV and V. Each Prius includes everything in the packages below it, plus additional features.
Essentially, Prius II is the starting point for Priuses. Prius III adds JBL soundsystem with Bluetooth, Prius IV adds leather and Prius V adds larger 17 inch wheels.
