The facelift brought the Prius new bumpers, as well as upgraded headlights and redesigned taillights. In addition, new wheel options became available.
The interior features a revised center console with an enlarged wireless charging pad for smartphones and new front seats.
The all-wheel-drive Prius Hybrid AWD-e features an additional electric motor on the rear axle, which activates when starting from a standstill at speeds up to 10 km/h and drives the rear wheels at speeds up to 70 km/h if the electronics detect a lack of traction.
The hybrid system includes a 1.8-liter gasoline engine operating on the Atkinson cycle, two motor-generators, and a set of nickel-metal hydride batteries.
European sales launch dates for the updated Toyota Prius have not yet been announced.
