| Grade | Drivetrain | Fuel tank (gal.) | Est. mpg city / hwy / comb. | Range per tank (mi., approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Fuel tank, drivetrain and estimated mpg from toyota.com's 2027 Prius specifications page, read November 4, 2026. Range per tank is our arithmetic: tank size x combined mpg, rounded. It is not a Toyota figure.
What the range figure means
The range column multiplies toyota.com's tank size by the estimated combined mpg: 11.3 x 55 is about 622 miles for the LE FWD, and 10.5 x 48 is about 504 miles for the XLE, Nightshade and Limited AWD.
Treat it as a rough ceiling, not a promise. Winter cold, highway speed, a full load and short trips all lower real mpg, and most drivers refuel well before the tank is empty.
Toyota.com lists a hybrid system net power of 194 hp for the FWD grades and 196 hp for the AWD grades.
Fill-up tips
Use the fuel grade listed in your owner's manual and on the fuel door label for your Prius.
Stop at the first click of the pump nozzle. Topping off past the click can overfill the evaporative system.
With a tank this size, plan stops on long winter drives rather than waiting for the low-fuel light.
