    Seems like a silly question but I cant find out what model prius I have. When I bought the car the dealership said it was a 5 when i got insurance they said the vin matched with a version 4 so Im curious. Its a 2011 Prius it has the nav package with the JBL sound system. Any help please!

    did you buy new or used? new would have had the marooned sticker with package number and accessories. you can't miss it, it's almost as big as the window.

    One think you'll notice is heated leather seats and leather steering wheel. Headlights in the IV is halogen and LED's in the V.

    The seats are not leather and steering wheel is I guess a regular steering wheel. I do however have the illuminated entry lights so not sure if its the 3 or 4

    Does it have the LED headlights, fogs, and headlight washers? That would slamdunk it a 5 I think.

    As mentioned above, it should the 17" OEM 5 spokes. It shouldn't have a sunroof (or moon roof, or whatever, lol), I believe.

    If you have LED headlights, you have headlight washers. So only the model V has headlight washers.

    If it's not a Five, does that mean you get some money back from the dealer who told you it was a Five?

    Also, you can ask your insurance company. They always get the VIN, and they base their rates on what trim and options are on the vehicle, so they can tell what you have.
