    I just bought a 2010 prius but the mazda dealer who had it didnt know anything about a prius and im not sure which model i have.
    It has leather, 17in alloy wheels, nav, jbl, bluetooh,
    but it doesnt have the moonroof, or the ipod connector under the dash and doesnt have power seats.

    any ideas? Thank you guys
    Oh yes its a 2010.

    If it has the LED headlights(2 round ones for low beam) including the things you mentioned, I'm guessing it's a Prius V 2010.

    Is there a way to run the Vin to see?
    Thank you for the response.

    I was just supprised to not see the ipod connector and power seats and i thought somewhere i read the IV and V came with auto headlamps. Not that i care but i must have misread.

    Yes its a V i have the led lamps and the fog lamps. And that explains why i dont have the USB port. doesnt matter as i just use bluetooth audio to connect.
    Gonna Give XM a call and see what kind of a deal they have.

    Thank you guys. Now its time to watch all the videos and read all the stuff on how to obtain the best millage.

    Assuming you have factory nav, it's because the USB port came later. Early builds didn't have it. See my earlier post.

    I have the 2010 Prius brochure. Power seat didn't come along until 2012. Brochure doesn't show ipod conn / USB for any model. Might have come along later in the year, but they had it for 2011.

    Assuming the 17" wheels are OEM Toyota and not aftermarket, it's a Prius V (they used Roman numerals that year until they came out with Prius v couple years later and switched to 'Prius Five')

    I assume they are factory. They look like all the picts i find of a 2010 prius V on google. I really like it. We came from a 01 Nissan Altima which had 197000 miles and got in town about 15-17mpg. i think best on the hwy we ever got was 23-24. So yea i am so excited about the huge gas millage boost.

    They are factory. Never seen an aftermarket wheel anything like the 5 spoke Five wheels.

    ya for sure a 5, Hope the mazda priced it as a 3 for you. I work at a used lot attached to a New Kia/Buick/GMC, we have a 2010 Prius 5 that the managers labeled and priced as a 3, priced a few k below what we should have priced it. Trying to find someone to buy it because it is priced great!

    Well they priced it at 21k. They had another 2010 they priced at 20k it don't have nav and I think it didn't have the alloy wheels.
    Kbb says 25k for this model.

    Congrat on the "V" purchased. The 5 spokes 17" rims are ALL prius owner that want to have it on their non package 5 prius, including myself!!!! The USB port / AUX input should be inside the center console at the far end toward the back seat. If you have JBL NAV then you have the USB input. I had a 120gb ipod classic load up my entire iTune music it sound really well. doesn't hurt to look inside the center console.

    i have an AUX port which looks like a headphone jack but no USB port. someone said it came along mid 2010 and mine is early 2010 so i dont have it. I have everything on my iphone so really i just hook it up via bluetooth and run my music through that.
