Here only at LEE TOYOTA !!! The 2019 Toyota Prius LE AWD-e is a standout model in the Prius lineup because 2019 was the very first year Toyota introduced an all-wheel-drive option to the Prius in the United States. It pairs the legendary fuel efficiency of the hybrid platform with a unique, on-demand electric all-wheel-drive system tailored for foul-weather traction rather than off-road performance.
Unlike traditional mechanical AWD vehicles, the Prius AWD-e uses a completely independent, magnet-less rear electric motor (producing about 7 horsepower) to power the rear wheels.
⢠0 to 6 mph: The rear motor activates automatically from a dead stop to provide reliable, slip-free acceleration on snow, ice, or wet pavement.
⢠7 to 43 mph: The system operates on-demand, actively monitoring traction and engaging only if the front wheels begin to slip.
⢠Above 43 mph: The rear motor completely disengages and spins freely without creating mechanical drag, maximizing fuel efficiency during highway cruising.
⢠Engine/Powertrain: 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine paired with electric motors producing a combined 121 horsepower via an Electronically Controlled Continuously Variable Transmission (ECVT).
⢠EPA Fuel Economy: 52 city / 48 highway / 50 combined MPG (compared to 54/50/52 for the FWD LE).
⢠Battery Tech: The AWD-e trim uniquely utilizes a Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery designed to perform more reliably in extreme cold weather, tucked entirely under the rear seats so it does not sacrifice any passenger or cargo volume.
⢠Ground Clearance: At 5.3 inches, it sits roughly 0.2 inches higher than its standard FWD counterpart to offer slightly better clearance over packed snow
