    Hello, I have a XLE on order and I have a question. Does my Prius come with rear automatic braking? I believe it has front auto braking but not sure about the rear. The salesman said it did but I’m not sure he’s right. Can someone clear this up for me?

    Hi. I'm waiting on an LE and was curious.
    It sounds like you're looking for: "Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking (PA w/AB) *"
    Per the Toyota web page, it looks like the XLE has it, but not the LE, alas.

    If I recall correctly, no-one has ever found an LE without that "available" option.

    You're correct.

    I just looked at my build sheet and it does have that $35 option. $319 for floor mats, though? Outrageous. :)

    Thanks for the responses….What I’m asking and probably didn’t explain myself fully is……if I back my 2026 Prius XLE up and it gets close to an object will the car automatically brake so it doesn’t hit whatever is behind me?

    It's a '26, approaching the Panama canal.

    The next question is what does $1,195 get you? Lol.

    Ok …..sorry for all the posts but I did a little more checking and it looks like it is available as an option as VelvetFoot said.

    So that leads me to ask another question…can the Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking be added as a software update since all of the sensors are already on the car?
