How much does the 2016 Toyota Prius cost?

Prices are up 1.83% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 704 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 presented as the standard bearer for the hybrid segment, and the overview frames it as a familiar formula with a few new tricks. That makes it a strong fit if you want a fuel-saving daily driver with a well-established reputation rather than a car that tries to reinvent the hybrid idea.

Good and great deals account for 31.5% of listings, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2016 Toyota Prius reliable?

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

The overview emphasizes the Prius’s established reputation in the hybrid market, while the expert evaluation describes it as a proven nameplate with staying power. The performance notes also point to a hybrid system that delivers decent pickup and efficient operation, which supports the case for dependable everyday use.

The cost-effectiveness notes add that the pricing is competitive enough to attract buyers, and the model’s fuel-saving focus should help keep operating costs manageable. For used buyers, the main long-term ownership risk is making sure the hybrid system and prior maintenance history are in good shape.

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

At 51.4% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in a collision. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, and any signs that repairs were done poorly, since those issues can matter more than cosmetic wear on a used hybrid.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup ranges from the Two to the Four Touring, and the base Two is the most stripped-down version. The Two and Two Eco use a 6.1-inch touchscreen, while the Three, Three Touring, Four, and Four Touring move up to a 7-inch screen and add navigation, app integration, and traffic and weather overlays. The Four and Four Touring also add more advanced safety tech, so higher trims are the better fit if you want the most complete feature set.
• 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. Fuel economy is estimated at 54 mpg city/50 highway/52 combined, and the Two Eco improves that to 58/53/56.
• 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. It also includes advanced front- and side-impact airbags. The Prius 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 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 input, an aux jack, a reversing camera, Bluetooth voice activation, and Siri Eyes Free integration. The Three, Three Touring, Four, and Four Touring upgrade to a 7-inch touchscreen, a navigation system, the Entune app suite, and a 3-month trial of XM satellite radio.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2016 Prius 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 Prius basics at the lowest starting price. It makes sense if you want the most affordable way into the model and do not need the larger screen or extra tech.
• Two Eco: This is the best-value trim if your priority is maximum efficiency, since it posts the strongest fuel-economy figures in the lineup. Choose it if you want the most mileage-focused version without moving up into the pricier trims.
• Three: This is the first trim that adds the larger 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, app suite, and traffic/weather features. It is the sweet spot if you want a more complete tech setup without jumping all the way to the upper trims.
• Three Touring: This trim keeps the same core tech as the Three while adding the Touring treatment. It suits you if you want a more upscale-feeling version of the midrange setup.
• Four: This is the trim to target if you want the strongest safety equipment, including pre-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, automatic high-beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. It is the best choice if safety tech matters most.
• Four Touring: This is the top trim, combining the Four’s safety equipment with the Touring treatment and the blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. Buy this one if you want the most fully equipped Prius in the lineup.

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

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

This looks like a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you have room to shop carefully rather than rush.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 704 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.83% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 51.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,195, 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 $15,181 sits slightly above last year's $14,908.

That upward move suggests the market still sees value in this model year, which can help support resale strength if you buy well and keep the car in good condition. The year-over-year increase also hints that demand has held up rather than softened.

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 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 brake system with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology. It also includes advanced front- and side-impact airbags as part of the standard safety suite.

The Prius Four 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 most advanced safety equipment is not standard across the whole lineup.

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:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 51.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 1.83% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 brings the fourth-generation redesign, with improved fuel economy, responsive handling, and a more advanced hybrid setup.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,616, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $15,181 average.
• It combines utility, comfort, and fuel economy in a practical daily driver.

The bottom line: If you want the newer fourth-generation Prius with stronger market momentum and a broader trim range, the 2016 is the better primary choice. If your main goal is to spend less up front, the 2015 is the smarter price-sensitive alternative.
