Prime vs Prius MPG/Blinkers/EV Questions

(1) Not really. The only thing I can think of, of the top of my head, is the charge schedule. Instead of a large screen to view the calendar, you're scrolling through the smaller 4.2" MID on the instrument panel to set/view the charging schedule (as a list vs. a calendar style on the 11.6"). The 7" will also have a volume and tune knob, while the 11.6" eschews all rotary knobs.

(2) Of course it will. The nav instructions will also appear on the 4.2" MID as an intersection guidance.



(3) Technical term is proximity entry or proximity keyless entry. (Toyota speak = Smart Key System). The system you're used to (pressing the button on the keyfob) is actually called remote keyless entry.

Anyway, driver's door SKS means the touch sensor lock/unlock is only on the driver's door. Of course you still have the "old" way of pressing lock or unlock on the fob (remote keyless entry) like you're used to. A double press on the unlock side will unlock all doors if you need to access the rear doors. The alternative is to program the SKS to unlock all doors when you slide your hand over the driver's door.

If you get 3-dr SKS, you still have to do the above because there isn't the lock/unlock sensor on the rear doors. But you have a 3rd option of quickly pressing the rear hatch release to unlock all doors (if you approach the car from the rear).

So, as far as I can see, you probably won't benefit too much from 3-dr SKS since you load the back seat and not the hatch.

(4) Yup. Press twice on the UNLOCK side of the key fob.

(5) Nope. You still have to manually lock the car. (Either by touching the SKS sensor on the driver's door, pressing the LOCK button on the key fob, pressing the LOCK button of the power door lock switch on either front door interior switch panel or if you're out of battery in the remote, the physical key.
