2019 Toyota Prius vs. 2019 Fiat 500L

The new 2019 Toyota Prius model comes with an all-wheel drive and this one is a well-rounded vehicle with a bundle of features on offer. On the other hand, the 2019 Fiat 500L also has its own set of features, but not as appealing as Toyota Prius. This comparison will give you a briefer idea.

Design & Style

Both the vehicles can make heads turn with their rigid and stylish exteriors, but the same cannot be said about the interiors. The Fiat 500L can seat up to 5 people inside the cabin, which is not the classiest among other rivals. You may have to deal with firm cushions or uncomfortable driving positions. The visibility is challenged due to thick roof pillars. The interior is pretty good, but the kind of material used inside is below the standard.

The 2019 Toyota Prius, on the other hand, is a four-door hatchback with spacious and comfortable seating for five people. You can get ample space in the rear seats as well. The interior is characteristic of standard cloth upholstery, with the new model having the sleek piano black trim, in place of stark white trim.

Technology & Safety

The 2019 Fiat 500L comes with a Uconnect infotainment system featuring a personalized menu bar. Other key features include 7-inch touch screen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features are not that advanced, except that you have a rearview camera.

The 2019 Toyota Prius comes with an Entune infotainment system that is both intuitive and responsive. You get a crystal-clear touch screen display, voice recognition system and three USB ports. Some of the key upgrades include 11.6-inch touch screen and 10-speaker JBL audio system. The special highlight of this edition is the Toyota Safety Sense Suite with a bundle of safety features in the base model.

Performance

Talking about the performance, the 2019 Fiat 500L is a 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. You will feel a considerable lag in acceleration with this vehicle. With full crew on-board, it can be grisly for the vehicle. If you are looking for a better model with more power, consider choosing the 2019 Toyota Prius. Don't go by its size; it can really ramp up on highway conditions.

The Bottom Line

Hybrid car lovers have preferred  a model like Toyota Prius for a long time, and the tradition is likely to continue with the introduction of this refurbished model. It comes with a smooth hybrid powertrain and overall great fuel efficiency. The all-wheel drive adds to the on-road traction, especially for frictionless surfaces. There's no doubt it's a better purchase than Fiat 500L.
