There are the Prius II, III, IV and V. Prius II ($22,000) is fully equipped and is expected to be the most popular. Prius III ($23,000) adds a premium JBL sound system and Bluetooth capability.Prius IV ($25,800) adds leather seats and upgraded trim, heated front seats, water repellent window glass, plasma instrument cluster, HomeLink, and a Smart Key system. Prius V ($27,270) adds 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlamps, and foglamps. Options include the Navigation Package ($1,800) with voice-activated DVD navigation with Bluetooth, XM traffic and a backup camera. The Solar Roof Package ($3,600) adds a solar powered ventilation system to the Navigation Package. The Advanced Technology Package ($4,500) includes a pre-collision system that automatically dabs the brakes and reduces crash impact speed by a slight amount, radar cruise control, Lane Keep Assist, Intelligent Park Assist, and the Navigation Package. Safety equipment standard on all models includes dual-stage front airbags, side airbags in front, airbag curtains, and driver's knee airbag; active headrests; tire pressure monitor with warning light; anti-lock brakes with Brake Assist and Brake Force Distribution; and a sophisticated stability control system working with traction control. Optional safety equipment includes a pre-collision system that uses the same radar antenna as the radar cruise control.
