2021 Toyota Prius Overview

The Toyota Prius is the most influential hybrid vehicle ever, and automotive history will remember Toyota for forging new ground long before it was clear how well hybrid and electric vehicles would do in America. For many, it seems like only yesterday that the Prius was introduced, but it has now been on the market for more than 20 years. During those decades, Toyota has continued to innovate and push hybrids forward, and the 2021 Toyota Prius now available at Pueblo Toyota may be the most advanced hybrid ever. The Honda Insight is also one of the original hybrids and was recently reintroduced. Let us find out how these vehicles measure up by comparing the 2021 Toyota Prius vs 2021 Honda Insight.

Pueblo CO - 2021 Toyota Prius's Overview

Exterior - Toyota Dealer serving Pueblo CO

Both of these vehicles are midsize cars, but there is a notable distinction in the 2021 Toyota Prius vs 2021 Honda Insight comparison: the Prius is a fastback hatchback whereas the Insight is a sedan. The Prius has a 106.3-inch wheelbase and measures 180.0 inches in length—or 15 feet. The Insight also has a 106.3-inch wheelbase and measures 183.6 inches in length. The Insight is also a tad wider and a bit shorter than the Prius. In both cases, aluminum wheels are standard. The Prius wheels range from 15 to 17 inches, and the Insight wheels range from 16 to 17 inches. Toyota offers an appearance package—2020 Edition—that features unique badging, black exterior trim and exclusive black-painted wheels.

Both the 2021 Toyota Prius and 2021 Honda Insight can seat up to five, and the interior dimensions are similar. Front headroom is more than 39 inches in both cases. Likewise, front legroom is more than 42 inches. Honda does offer a bit more rear legroom—33 vs 37 inches—but the Prius has a dedicated cargo area that measures more than 27 cubic feet. The Insight, on the other hand, has just a 15-cubic-foot trunk. The base interior of the Prius stands apart from the Insight in a number of key ways, including a larger 7-inch infotainment touchscreen and an automatic temperature control system. Such upgrades are available with the Honda model but require you to step up one or even two trim levels.

Toyota Prius Mechanical specs

The 2021 Honda Insight is exclusively a front-wheel-drive car. The Prius is front-wheel drive standard, but it is available from our location serving Pueblo Colorado Springs with all-wheel drive. This is notable because none of the vehicles on the market that are direct competitors to the Prius offer this option. Both vehicles are, of course, hybrids. The Prius has a continuously variable transmission paired with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. This hybrid powertrain combines for a 121 horsepower and 120 pound-feet of torque. If you opt for the Prius AWD-e, your vehicle will have a second electric motor for the rear wheels that is separate from the core hybrid powertrain. Minus the second motor, the 2021 Honda Insight has a similar setup. The Insight does manage a bit more performance—129 horsepower—but that does come at the cost of lesser fuel performance.

The base Prius available at our Toyota dealership serving Pueblo Colorado Springs comes standard with a 7-inch infotainment touchscreen. This is notable because the base Insight has just a 5-inch touchscreen and requires stepping up to the EX trim to get that along with Android and Apple device integration. Standard features for the Prius not only include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay but Amazon Alexa. Both vehicles come with a standard suite of driver-assistance technologies: Toyota Safety Sense in the case of the Prius and Honda Sensing in the case of the Insight. Features include automatic headlamps adaptive cruise control, forward collision detection, automatic emergency braking and lane keeping. The Toyota package also include automatic high beams, full-speed adaptive cruise control with traffic sign recognition and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic detection. Some of this equipment is available with the Honda, but, again, it requires stepping up to a higher trim level.
