Efficiency
Prius Prime’s purposeful, aerodynamic features include an active front grille shutter that shuts at high speeds, underbody covers, side body fins and exclusive dual-wave rear glass design, all of which help Prime slip through the air. There’s a lot of innovation under the artfully sculpted exterior too.
