Reference specs describe LE Hybrid FWD. Plug-in Hybrid figures describe separate configurations; MPGe is an electric-operation equivalency, not gasoline MPG. Actual mileage and electric range vary with conditions, charging and driving. Hybrid LE and Plug-in Hybrid SE have manual fabric front seats. Front passenger adjustment is manual on every grade. The reference cargo and tank figures do not apply to the plug-in branch.

Driver-assistance features have limits and require attentive driving. See the Owner’s Manual for operating conditions and limitations. The Toyota video is a general overview; features vary by model, year and suite version.

Verified October 10, 2026. Photography is illustrative; the vehicle shown may differ from the reference configuration.
