When I purchased this from a Hyundai dealer (someone traded it in) I thought I was buying a Prius 1. After doing some research on here I may have a Prius 3. If I read it right the number is based on trim level. My car came with integrated Sat radio, bluetooth phone, GPS NAV, drivers side touch entry, leather as well as various inputs for the touch screen radio display. Am I correct in assuming I bought a 3? I was comfortable with the deal I got but if it is a 3 that adds about 2500 to the value of it. It only has 19k miles on it. Purchased it for 17K. I found out the car was on the lot for 6 months. I have been shopping for one for years. I have learned that when gas is $4 a gallon you have no chance in talking a dealer down. When it's under $2 it's time to haggle
Softex (synthetic leather) is only available on the 4 and 5 models. Also, Prius 1 is primarily a fleet vehicle. 2 is the lowest model sold to the public.
try plugging the vin into the toyota owners website. do you have cruise control? i suppose leather can be after market. one door sks would be the minimum, but i'm not sure what package got the 3 door. package 3 gets the upgraded jbl i believe. Yes it has cruise control. It does not have power seats though.those are probably pack 4 or 5.
From: 2012 Toyota Prius Improves With Subtle Changes For 2012, Prius Two models come with restyled 15-inch wheel covers, a new infotainment system with a 6.1-inch touch screen, a USB port, Bluetooth phone connectivity and Bluetooth audio streaming. Prius Three Models now get navigation as a standard feature, Toyota’s Entune telematics and infotainment system, a back up camera, Sirius XM satellite radio, HD Radio and a revised Smart Key system that now opens all three doors. Opt for the 2012 Prius Four, and you’ll also get an eight-speaker JBL audio system, specifically designed to reduce power consumption. If you buy the Deluxe Solar Roof Package on the Prius Four, you’ll get an included heads-up display and a seven inch touch screen monitor with split-screen capability. Finally, the range-topping Prius Five gets no new features other than the ones described in packages Two through Four above. Prius Five buyers can, however, opt for the Advanced Technology Package, which isn’t an available option on lower models.
Good info. Thanks! Looks like I might have a Prius 2. I have the Nav system but tried to sign up for the Entune apps but part of the APP setup on my Galaxy 4 asks for the VIN and says it is not compatible.
According to my 2012 brochure, the Prius 2 lacked Nav, Entune, and Sat radio, so these imply that you have at least a 3. An inability to sign up for Entune means nothing about trim level. OEM 'Leather' implies at least a 4, though a number of owners put aftermarket 'leather' on lower trims. Check the passenger door to touch entry, the 3 should have it there too. (The rear hatch too, but it is easier to miss there.) If it is missing, then you have something weird that doesn't fit the brochure. Does the steering wheel have a separate button (lower left) for voice commands? 3+ has it, 2 does not. Auto-dimming rear view mirror means 4+.
allow me to be the first to say congrats on your new Prius and welcome to PriusChat! And if I skimmed too fast and someone already said so, then I'm okay being 2nd or 3rd
Looks like I have a 2.5 Only the driver door has the touch entry. My Nav does not appear to be entune capable either. Was hoping it would work with Entune, that looks pretty cool. It's still a cool car! It's pretty amazing that braking generates usable energy too. Got 56.8 MPG on my trip home today.
