The Five trim gets no new updates, excluding the features that were added to the Three and Four trim
The front gets a redesigned bumper with more stylized lower openings on each end, now filled with new standard LED automatic daytime running lights. The fog lights, when equipped, have been moved to the lower grille. The front and rear lamp designs are redesigned, too.
The 2012 Prius will be widely available in the numerically named Two, Three, Four and Five trim levels. There likely will be an unadvertised Prius One trim, too. Last year, Toyota said the Prius One was primarily sold to fleet customers but could be bought at retail, though availability was extremely rare.
For 2012, the Two trim gets redesigned 15-inch wheels, a revised multi-information display and, most importantly, a standard 6.1-inch touch-screen display that includes a USB port and Bluetooth phone connectivity and audio streaming.
The Three trim now has a standard navigation system with integrated backup camera; previously it was an option. The Three also gets Toyota's new Entune multimedia system . The passive entry system has been upgraded to work with three doors on the vehicle instead of just one.
The Four trim now has the standard navigation, too, along with Toyota's new SofTex upholstery, a leatherette material the carmaker says is as durable as cloth and more environmentally friendly to produce than leather. There's also a new eight-way power driver's seat (up from six) and a redesigned eight-speaker JBL stereo.

Head-up display, premium navigation, adaptive cruise control, park hotel international london lane mitigation software and a pre-collision warning system are available park hotel international london on the Five trim only.
