    It is really simple, if they have correctly determined that it is a 2011 model, Toyota only made the liftback in 2011, so it must be one.

    The v, PIP, and c were all introduced in 2012.

    They do make it a little confusing on trim model. But in the end for ordering parts or accesories, does it matter as long as we know it is a gen 3.

    It does matter for some exterior pieces and some interior trim pieces, for example the tailights changed between 2011 and 2012, as did the front grill.

    Amazing Thanks a lot, I bought a Prius 2013 Model Gen 3. I am very confused while connecting my multimedia system to Entune, because it's been 20 days I can't figure out if it has GPS or no. Firstly it doesn't have APPS button on the interior so I assume this Prius isn't compatible with navigation system. I can connect my phone with audio, handsfree calling everything is good. But I can't find any app except fuel pricing. Any help? Plus while connecting Entune it says invalid VIN number. What should I do.

    No navigation but you do have apps depending on when the vehicle was built. I think Entune can be updated to include that but I'm not 100% sure.

    Generation III are Prius 2010 to 2015.
    However Generation I, II, III and IV Prius has trim levels I, II, III, IV, and V .Which are listed bellow.

    There is no Prius I for years prior to 2017.
    • Prius I (starting in 2017, this is the base model Prius and possibly the best deal of all its siblings)
    • Prius II – EV mode, driver-side Smart Key System, Touch Tracer Display, Cruise Control, Rear Wiper, Tonneau Cover, passenger side seatback pocket, AM/FM/MP3 CD player with satellite radio antenna, auxiliary audio jack and six speakers
    • Prius III – Model II equipment plus JBL AM/FM/MP3 6-disc CD changer with eight speakers, integrated XM satellite radio capability, hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth® wireless technology
    • Prius IV – Model III equipment plus three-door Smart Key System; leather-trimmed interior; heated front seats with driver lumbar support; step lamp;; driver and front passenger water repellant windows; upgraded front and center pillar trim; plasma cluster; auto dimming mirror and HomeLink®
    • Prius V – Model IV equipment plus 17-inch alloy wheels; LED headlamps with auto leveling and washers and foglamps.
    Prius C (2012-2019) are Generation IV and has "Prius C" written on the driver side of the trunk.

    I hope that helps.
