We're about to buy our third Prius. I'd like to get a 2021 Prius Prime XLE (so I have the lock on the charging cable), but our dealership is offering a 2020 model. What are the significant differences?
Rear side airbags TSS-P 2.0 (adds low light pedestrian detection & daytime bicyclist detection to PCS, Road Sign Assist, Lane Trace Assist) LE models gain AndroidAuto. (not available on XLE or Limited)
We appreciate the features Tideland listed (we recently went from a 2020 to the 2021). In considering the 2020, ensure it was not previously owned or leased, as then you would not be eligible for the $4502 federal tax credit. Thanks to the magic of high mfg, dealer, federal, and state incentives and good trade-in value, we've transitioned through three Primes in the past three years for a net cost of about $2k/year. The math doesn't work without the incentives a new, previously untitled Prime offers.
