How much does the 2016 Toyota Prius cost?

Prices are up 1.62% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 698 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Toyota Prius a good car?

Yes — it earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.67/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

The 2016 Prius is framed as the heart of the hybrid market, with Toyota positioning it as a familiar nameplate that adds a few new tricks while staying true to its core identity. That makes it a strong fit if you want a recognizable hybrid that emphasizes efficiency, practicality, and everyday usability over excitement.

You also get a market that still shows meaningful value, with 31.8% of listings marked as good or great deals.

Is the 2016 Toyota Prius reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The overview presents the Prius as a proven hybrid benchmark, and the expert evaluation reinforces that it remains a durable, efficiency-focused daily driver with solid ergonomics and impressive cargo space. The powertrain is described as a 1.8-liter gas engine paired with two electric motor-generators, and the expert notes that the car drives surprisingly well once underway, with decent pickup and good cornering.

The cost-effectiveness notes also point to competitive pricing and a package that should appeal to buyers who want to save fuel without giving up practicality. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is that hybrid-specific repairs can be more expensive than on a conventional car.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Toyota Prius?

At 54.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a careful pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has any accident history. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, and signs of inconsistent repair work, then make sure the hybrid system and braking feel are evaluated on a test drive.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Two and Two Eco use a 6.1-inch touchscreen, while higher trims move to a 7-inch screen and add navigation, app integration, and more advanced convenience features. The Four trim also adds higher-level safety technology, so base-trim shoppers give up some desirable equipment.
• Powertrain: The Prius uses a 1.8-liter gas engine with two electric motor-generators for a net 121 horsepower. The Base model uses a nickel-metal-hydride battery, while every other trim gets a more compact lithium-ion pack.
• Safety package: Every Prius comes with Toyota’s Star Safety System, including enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology, plus advanced front- and side-impact airbags. The Four adds Pre-Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, automatic high-beams, and dynamic radar cruise control, while the Four and Four Touring also add a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Infotainment: The Two and Two Eco come with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, six speakers, USB 2.0 input, aux audio jack, reversing camera, Bluetooth voice activation, and Siri Eyes Free integration. The Three, Three Touring, Four, and Four Touring upgrade to a 7-inch touchscreen, XM trial, Entune app suite, navigation, and HD predictive traffic and Doppler weather overlay.
• Fuel efficiency: Fuel economy is estimated at 54 mpg city/50 highway/52 combined, and the Two Eco improves that to 58/53/56.

Which 2016 Toyota Prius trim should I buy?

The 2016 Toyota Prius is offered in 6 trim levels: Two, Two Eco, Three, Three Touring, Four, Four Touring.

Here's the short version:

• Two: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Prius experience with the 6.1-inch touchscreen, reversing camera, Bluetooth voice activation, and Siri Eyes Free. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable skipping the extra tech and safety upgrades.
• Two Eco: This is the best-value trim if fuel savings matter most, because it adds the more efficient Eco setup while keeping the same basic infotainment and convenience equipment as the Two.
• Three: This is the smart step-up if you want the better 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, Entune app suite, and the more feature-rich cabin without jumping all the way to the upper trims.
• Three Touring: Choose this if you want the Three’s tech upgrades and prefer the Touring version’s added distinction, but it is mainly for buyers who specifically want that trim positioning.
• Four: This is the trim to target if you want the strongest mix of comfort and safety technology, including Pre-Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, automatic high-beams, and dynamic radar cruise control.
• Four Touring: This is the top-end choice if you want the Four’s safety equipment plus the Touring treatment, along with the blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.

The safety package is strongest on the Four and Four Touring, so those trims are the ones to prioritize if driver-assistance features matter most.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Toyota Prius?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 698 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.62% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 54.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,193, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Toyota Prius's resale value?

The current average of $15,242 sits slightly above last year's $14,999.

That upward move suggests the market still values this Prius’s efficiency and reputation, which can help support resale strength if you buy well and keep the car in good condition. The year-round range also shows that pricing has stayed fairly tight, which is a sign of steady demand rather than a volatile market.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2016 Toyota Prius safe?

The 2016 Toyota Prius earns a Top Safety Pick+ rating from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Prius comes with Toyota’s Star Safety System, which includes enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology. That standard suite is paired with advanced front- and side-impact airbags.

The Four trim adds Pre-Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, automatic high-beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. The Four and Four Touring also add a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, so the upper trims carry the most complete safety package.

Should I buy a 2016 Toyota Prius or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 54.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.62% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 brings fourth-generation styling, stronger tech, and a more refined hybrid package.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,643, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $15,242 average.
• It blends utility, comfort, and fuel economy into a practical daily driver.

The bottom line: If you want the newer fourth-generation Prius with stronger tech and a still-reasonable market price, the 2016 is the better default choice. If your priority is spending less up front and you mainly want the core Prius strengths, the 2015 is the more budget-friendly path.
