How much does the 2019 Toyota Prius cost?

Prices are up 2.93% year-over-year — a sign of continued demand for this model year.

There are 318 listings available, which gives you a modest amount of inventory to compare before you buy.

Is the 2019 Toyota Prius a good car?

Yes — the 2019 Toyota Prius earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7.33/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 10/10.

Owners consistently praise its impressive fuel economy, quiet interior, reliability, comfort for daily driving, and the savings on gas. The overview also frames it as practical, affordable, and safe, which fits the way many shoppers use it as an everyday commuter.

The main trade-offs are its polarizing styling and outdated technology, and the expert notes also point to a design that does the car no favors. Even so, if you want a value-focused hybrid for daily driving, the Prius lines up well with that use case.

Only 28.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards shoppers who move carefully.

Is the 2019 Toyota Prius reliable?

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

The user feedback highlights reliability, and the expert cost-effectiveness commentary says the Prius has historically proven reliable and trouble-free. That same value-focused assessment also reinforces the idea that this is a car built to be counted on over time.

The ownership risk for used buyers is mostly about finding a well-kept example, since condition and maintenance history matter more than the model’s basic reputation.

What should I look for when buying a used 2019 Toyota Prius?

At 59.1% 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 thorough pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has been in a collision. Focus on body condition, panel alignment, tire wear, and signs that the hybrid system or safety equipment may have been repaired after damage.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes L Eco, LE, XLE, and Limited. The base setup is the most stripped-down, while higher trims add more convenience and tech, and the Limited gets the most upscale equipment.
• Powertrain: A 1.8-liter 4-cylinder gasoline engine works with an electric motor for 121 horsepower. The optional electric AWD system adds a rear motor for extra traction at low speeds, but it also reduces fuel economy.
• Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense is standard and includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. LE adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking-assist hardware.
• Infotainment: The standard system uses a 6.1-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth and a CD player. The Limited gets an 11.6-inch split-screen display with navigation, the Entune App Suite, a premium JBL sound system, satellite radio, and Safety Connect. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included.
• Fuel efficiency: A standard front-drive Prius gets 52 mpg in combined driving, or 56 mpg in L Eco trim. The AWD-e version gets 50 mpg combined.

Which 2019 Toyota Prius trim should I buy?

The 2019 Toyota Prius is offered in 4 trim levels: L Eco, LE, XLE, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• L Eco: This is the efficiency-first choice, and it makes the most sense if you want the lowest entry point and the best fuel economy.
• LE: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds useful safety equipment like blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking assistance without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• XLE: This is the better pick if you want a more upscale daily driver, especially if you value added comfort and available AWD-e.
• Limited: This is the most feature-rich version, with the largest infotainment screen, navigation, JBL audio, and Safety Connect.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard on every trim, while LE adds extra driver-assistance features and Limited gets the full connected-safety setup.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 Toyota Prius?

The market looks seller-friendly, so you should act selectively and be ready to move when you find a strong listing.

• Deal availability: 28.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 318 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.93% year-over-year.
• Clean inventory: 59.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $17,993, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2019 Toyota Prius's resale value?

The current average of $19,967 sits slightly above last year's $19,399.

That upward move suggests the Prius has held demand well relative to its prior-year pricing. For a future seller, that kind of steady appreciation can help support a stronger resale position if your car is clean, well maintained, and accident-free.

Because the market is still paying up for this model year, a well-kept example should remain easier to move than a neglected one. Strong fuel economy and broad buyer appeal also help keep interest steady.

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 2019 Toyota Prius safe?

The 2019 Toyota Prius earns a five-star rating from NHTSA, with four-star front passenger protection in a frontal-impact crash, and it earns a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Toyota Safety Sense is standard on every Prius and includes adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights. LE trim adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and parking-assist sensors.

The main caveat is that the IIHS notes small overlap front passenger frontal impact protection as Acceptable rather than Good, so that’s worth keeping in mind if safety is a top priority.

Should I buy a 2019 Toyota Prius or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2019 if:

• 28.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices are up 2.93% year-over-year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Toyota revised the trim strategy and added an electric AWD option.

Consider the 2020 if:

• At $21,755, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $19,967 average.
• It adds a more standard-bearer role for hybrid shoppers.

The bottom line: If you want the better value path, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines strong owner satisfaction, solid safety, and a lower average price. If you’re willing to spend more for the next model year, the 2020 is the secondary path for shoppers who want to compare a newer option before deciding.
