seems really weak to not have either and seems like target buyer would want these.

and as a commenter posted... "The Rav 4 hybrid has higher ground clearance, more cargo room and same price point."

But it lacks the aura of moral superiority

Toyota is just being really really cheap by not adding Car Play. We will hear the excuses by some members soon.

E awd is the right thing to do for hybrids. IMO.

The Prius is probably still on Gen9 navigation hence no AC or AA. Again only Gen10 supports them. On Lexus that means only the NX, UX, ES, LC, RC, and LS have it. Even the mighty seller RX doesn’t have it because it’s on 9. I think the GX is still on 8. Give it time, the Prius will have it eventually.
