If it helps to think of the AWD-e trims as simply All-Wheel Drive versions of the LE and XLE trims respectively, then you could say there are really only four trim levels. As you can tell by the price and features, the L Eco is the lowest trim level. Still, L Eco owners will find plenty of technology on board to keep them entertained and keep their devices powered. The LE could be called a safety trim the way it is outfitted. The XLE brings some more comfort elements on board with the leather-like seats, automatic windshield wipers, and wireless charging. The Limited pushes the boundaries of what you think a Prius can be by including a head-up display and an adaptive front lighting system on the largest wheels available.
