Explore the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid
Meet the 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid at Sparks Toyota
The 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid brings an appealing mix of efficiency, everyday flexibility, and modern style to Myrtle Beach. Its plug-in hybrid design can make sense for drivers who want to rely more on electric power during their daily routine while retaining the freedom to travel farther when plans take them beyond the Grand Strand. Its compact hatchback proportions also make it well suited to everything from daily commuting to weekend trips along the coast.
Within Toyota's electrified lineup, the Prius Plug-in Hybrid offers a different experience from both the standard Prius and larger plug-in hybrid SUVs. It also gives shoppers another option to consider alongside competitors such as the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid. For 2027, the lineup includes SE, XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium trims. Visit Sparks Toyota in Myrtle Beach to explore the lineup and find the right fit for your driving needs.
Versatile Interior
The 2027 Prius Plug-in Hybrid has two rows and seating for five. The SE features fabric-trimmed front seats, while XSE and higher trims move to SofTex® seating. XSE adds a heated eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat, and XSE Premium includes heated and ventilated front seats plus driver-seat memory. Dual-zone climate control is standard for 2027, letting the driver and front passenger choose separate temperatures. LATCH anchors help accommodate compatible child seats in the rear.
Flexible Hatchback Cargo Space
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid provides approximately 20.3 cubic feet of cargo volume with the rear seatbacks upright and 26.7 cubic feet with them folded. A 60/40 split-folding rear seat makes it easier to mix passengers with groceries, luggage, golf gear, or beach-day supplies. XSE Premium further adds a power liftback for more convenient access when your hands are full.
Practical Exterior Design
The 2027 Prius Plug-in Hybrid combines a low, aerodynamic hatchback profile with LED lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and several distinctive wheel designs.
Wheel and tire options include:
- SE: 17-inch alloy wheels with 195/60R17 tires
- XSE and XSE Premium: 19-inch alloy wheels with 195/50R19 tires
- Nightshade: Black-finished 19-inch wheels with 195/50R19 tires
A fixed glass roof is available on XSE and Nightshade and standard on XSE Premium. The XSE Premium also offers a limited-availability 185-watt solar roof and includes a power liftback. The Prius Plug-in Hybrid is built for efficient paved-road travel rather than off-road driving, so shoppers should not expect SUV-style equipment such as skid plates or tow hooks. Nightshade buyers can choose the exclusive Karashi finish.
Six additional 2027 exterior colors include:
- Cutting Edge
- Guardian Gray
- Reservoir Blue
- Inked
- Supersonic Red
- Wind Chill Pearl
Plug-in Hybrid Performance and Efficiency
Every 2027 Prius Plug-in Hybrid uses Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid system, combining a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with electric motor-generators. Key performance details include:
- 220 net-combined horsepower
- Planetary-type electronically controlled continuously variable transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- EPA-estimated zero-to-60-mph time of 6.6 seconds
That combination provides efficient everyday performance with the responsiveness needed for merging onto US-17 or navigating changing traffic along Highway 501.
EV Range, Fuel Economy, and Charging
The 13.6-kWh battery gives drivers the option of handling many shorter trips primarily with stored electricity, then continuing in gasoline-electric hybrid operation when needed.
- SE: Up to an EPA-estimated 44 miles of all-electric range and an EPA-estimated 51 mpg combined in Hybrid Mode.
- XSE, Nightshade, and XSE Premium: Up to an EPA-estimated 39 miles of all-electric range.
- 120V charging: Approximately 11 hours under ideal conditions using a standard household outlet.
- Level 2 charging: Approximately four hours under ideal conditions.
For Myrtle Beach drivers with predictable daily mileage, that EV range can cover many trips between home, work, restaurants, medical appointments, and shopping destinations without starting the gasoline engine. When the weekend calls for a longer coastal drive or an out-of-town visit, the hybrid powertrain keeps the trip moving without requiring a charging stop.
Technology Specs
Every 2027 Prius Plug-in Hybrid includes a top-mounted 7-inch digital Multi-Information Display for key driving information. Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen options vary by trim:
- SE, XSE, and Nightshade: Standard 8-inch touchscreen
- XSE and Nightshade: Available 12.3-inch touchscreen
- XSE Premium: Standard 12.3-inch touchscreen

Notable technology features include:
- Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility
- Wireless Android Auto™ compatibility
- Six USB-C charging ports
- Available Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging

For a two-car Myrtle Beach household or a retiree who regularly hosts visiting family, those connectivity options make it easier for multiple occupants to keep devices powered and bring familiar smartphone functions along for the ride.
Safety Features
Every 2027 Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0, giving drivers a collection of active driver-assistance technologies designed to support awareness and help respond to certain hazards.
