Differences Prime EU vs NA

Im still learning regarding some of the differences between the top tier Prime in NA (I assume the canadian model is mostly the same) and EU. Here is a list according to my current knowledge. Please let me know if you have some other points. Points with (?) are not that clear to me:

NA only:

• JBL speakers
• Wireless charging
• Power socket in rear seats
• Homelink (these buttons on rear mirror)
  
• Anti-Theft (?)
  
• Traffic Jam assist (?)

EU only:

• Dual Zone HVAC with Nanoe X Filter
• Better rear seat headrest including adjustable one for middle seat
• Auto foldable side mirrors with turn signal
• Adaptive driving beams
  
• Some kind of map based/predictive auto ev/hv stuff (?)
  
• Better (less noisy) tires (?)

Other things:

• Swiss model doesnt have any power sockets
• Due to EU regulations, more features are forced (like speeding warnings)
• Prime in NA has red LED/seat interiou while EU one is like normal US prius
• NA model has this big huge block for the whiper

Edit: Remove (?) from Adaptive Driving beams

 

Yeah exactly.

That's true, but they still skimp on providing an adjustable middle-seat headrest in the US. I suppose the concept is akin to the "mono" zone HVAC. Given the number of cars per US household, it's far less likely that two, let alone five, people are in the car at the same time.

 

One more
NA only:

• Remote start

 

Unfortunately I cannot edit top post to add more differences, so I will just copy paste here:

NA only:

• JBL speakers
• Wireless charging
• Power socket in rear seats
• Homelink (buttons on rear mirror)
  
• Door sensor alarm system (Updated - see post below)
  
• Traffic Jam assist
• Remote start
• Digital Key (Updated)

EU only:

• Dual Zone HVAC with Nanoe X Filter
• Better rear seat headrests including adjustable one for middle seat
• Auto foldable side mirrors with turn signal
• Adaptive driving beams - "Matrix LED" (only higher trims)
  
• Some kind of map based/predictive auto ev/hv stuff
• Better (less noisy) tires (?)

Other things:

• Swiss model doesnt have any power sockets
• Due to EU regulations, more features are forced (like speeding warnings)
• EU has pre downloaded "offline" navi maps
  
• Prime in NA has red LED/seat interiour while EU one is like NA normal prius (blue LED)
  
• NA model has this big huge block for the whiper

 

There seem to be alot of differences regarding services and e.g. warranty on country level. Like some countries get 15 years of warranty as well. I guess even Canada and US will be partly different here.

 

Okay, so given the Anti-Theft options are not so clear (lets just discuss top trims to not make it even harder) - I will remove it now from the list until further clarification.

An update is regarding Android Auto - EU versions dont support wireless (I guess because of different Navi):/


NA only:

• JBL speakers
• Wireless charging
• Power socket for rear seats (additionally to trunk)

• Android Auto Wireless! (Updated)

EU only:

• Dual Zone HVAC with Nanoe X Filter
• Better rear seat headrests including adjustable one for middle seat
• Auto foldable side mirrors with turn signal
• Adaptive driving beams - "Matrix LED" (only higher trims)
  
• Some kind of map based/predictive auto ev/hv stuff
• Better (less noisy) tires (?)

Other things:

• Swiss model doesnt have any power sockets
• Due to EU regulations, more features are forced (like speeding warnings) and can only be deactivated temporarily
  
• EU has pre downloaded "offline" navi maps
  
• Prime in NA has red LED/seat interiour while EU one is like NA normal prius (blue LED)
  
• NA model has this big huge block for one whiper
• Alarm/Anti-Theft systems not clear (?)

 

Good point - i thought "matrix led" is a common term for most people even when not fulfilling the stric mathematical term. I dont mind changing it to adaptive though in the next iteration if thats more clear
