How much does the 2016 Toyota Prius cost?

Prices are up 4.90% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 745 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2016 Toyota Prius a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Toyota Prius earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.7/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

The overview frames this Prius as a familiar hybrid formula that keeps the model’s recognizable identity while adding a few new tricks. It also positions the car as a fuel-saving daily driver with strong appeal for buyers who want efficiency and a clear place in the hybrid market.

The market shows 32.8% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

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 nameplate that continues to matter because of its core efficiency and identity. The expert notes also emphasize that the hybrid segment has demonstrated staying power, and this Prius remains the standard-bearer for that formula.

The performance notes point to a 1.8-liter gas engine paired with two electric motor-generators, plus a net 121 horsepower output. The cost-effectiveness notes also highlight competitive pricing and strong fuel-saving appeal, which supports the case for dependable everyday ownership.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is buying a car whose condition or maintenance history doesn’t match its reputation, so a careful inspection still matters.

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

At 50.3% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in a collision. Focus on body condition, repair quality, and whether the hybrid systems and braking feel behave as expected on a test drive.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Two and Two Eco come with a 6.1-inch touchscreen, while the Three, Three Touring, Four, and Four Touring upgrade to a 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, and more connected features. The base trims also miss the higher-end safety technology found on the Four.
• 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 lithium-ion battery pack.
• Safety package: Toyota’s Star Safety System is standard and includes enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology. 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 include a 6.1-inch touchscreen, six speakers, USB 2.0 input, an aux jack, a reversing camera, Bluetooth voice activation, and Siri Eyes Free integration. The Three, Three Touring, Four, and Four Touring move to a 7-inch touchscreen with XM satellite radio, the Entune app suite, navigation, and HD predictive traffic plus Doppler weather overlay.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2016 Toyota Prius is estimated at 54 mpg city, 50 highway, and 52 combined. 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 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 don’t need the extra tech.
• Two Eco: This is the best-value trim if your priority is maximum efficiency, since it improves the fuel-economy estimates over the standard Two. It keeps the same core infotainment setup while leaning hardest into the Prius mission.
• Three: This is the smart step-up if you want a more complete tech package, because it adds the 7-inch touchscreen, navigation, XM satellite radio, and the Entune app suite. It’s the trim that most clearly balances price and equipment.
• Three Touring: Choose this if you want the Three’s equipment with a more upscale touring-oriented setup. It’s for buyers who want the added features of the midline trim and are willing to pay more for them.
• Four: This is the trim to target if safety tech matters most, because it adds Pre-Collision Avoidance with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, automatic high-beams, and dynamic radar cruise control. It also brings the blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.
• Four Touring: This is the top-end choice if you want the most equipment and the most advanced safety content in the lineup. It’s the trim for buyers who want the fullest Prius experience.

The Four and Four Touring are the trims with the added blind-spot monitor and rear cross-traffic alert.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you should shop carefully and compare listings rather than rushing.

• Deal availability: 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 745 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.90% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 50.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,224, 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 $15,355 sits slightly above last year's $14,639.

That upward move suggests the Prius is holding demand well enough to support used values. If you buy carefully and keep the car in good condition, you should have a decent chance of preserving value when it’s time to sell.

The price range also shows that buyers are still willing to pay for this model year, especially when the car presents well and has a clean history. For a future seller, that means condition and documentation should matter a lot in how quickly the car moves and what it brings.

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.

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

Toyota’s Star Safety System is standard, and it includes enhanced vehicle stability control, traction control, antilock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, and Smart Stop Technology. The standard safety suite also includes 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.

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:

• 32.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 50.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 4.90% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 brings the Prius into its fourth generation with a more distinctive design, stronger tech, and a competitive efficiency story.

Consider the 2015 if:

• At $12,613, the 2015 costs less than the current year's $15,355 average.
• It blends utility, comfort, and fuel economy in a practical package.

The bottom line: If you want the newer-generation Prius with stronger tech and a more modern feel, the 2016 is the better target. If your main goal is to spend less and still get Prius efficiency, the 2015 is the more budget-friendly path.
