Toyota Prius Specs, Engines & Dimensions (2015–2018) — Fourth Generation
The fourth-generation Toyota Prius Liftback refines its hybrid formula with improved efficiency, sharper styling, and a more engaging drive. It offers front- or all-wheel drive, all paired with a continuously variable transmission and a 1.8-liter engine.
All fourth-generation Prius Liftbacks use a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. The combined system drives the front wheels through an automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive option adds a rear electric motor for extra traction without a mechanical driveshaft.
Toyota Prius trim levels build on the core hybrid powertrain. The 2ZR-FXE version is offered with equipment packages such as Active and TSS. Active focuses on essential comfort, while TSS adds Toyota Safety Sense, bundling driver aids like pre-collision warning and lane departure alert.
