The combined EPA fuel economy of the 2023 Toyota Prius LE is 57 mpg.
That figure applies to the front-wheel-drive LE, which EPA estimates at 57 mpg city, 56 mpg highway, and 57 mpg combined. The LE achieved the highest fuel-economy rating in the redesigned 2023 Prius lineup, helped by its smaller 17-inch wheels and lighter configuration.
A common mix-up is confusing the front-wheel-drive LE with the available all-wheel-drive LE. The AWD version is rated at 53 mpg combined, while higher trims with larger wheels receive lower ratings. The number is also an EPA estimate, not a guarantee of real-world mileage; speed, temperature, terrain, traffic, tire pressure, and driving style all affect consumption.
The 2023 Prius introduced the fifth-generation Prius design and a more powerful hybrid system while retaining Toyota’s familiar gasoline-electric architecture. Its 57 mpg combined rating made the LE one of the most fuel-efficient non-plug-in hybrid cars available in the United States.
