| 2024 | $29,884 | $26,650 – $30,265 |
| 2023 | $28,433 | $26,063 – $28,552 |
| 2022 | $23,522 | $20,974 – $23,965 |
| 2021 | $21,584 | $19,732 – $21,686 |
| 2020 | $21,574 | $19,072 – $21,578 |
| 2019 | $19,996 | $17,995 – $19,996 |
| 2018 | $17,633 | $16,153 – $17,834 |
| 2017 | $16,460 | $15,200 – $16,512 |
| 2016 | $15,238 | $14,193 – $15,484 |
| 2015 | $12,683 | $11,394 – $12,683 |
| 2014 | $11,027 | $9,947 – $11,064 |
The Toyota Prius's current nationwide average price is $18,110, and its lowest point over the past year was $14,691. Recently, prices have come down for the 2024 and 2025 models, making now a good time to shop recent model years.
Is the Toyota Prius a good car?
Yes — the Toyota Prius is a strong used-car choice if you want efficiency, practicality, and everyday comfort. The all-generations owner rating is 4.66/5 across every model year in the data.
Owners consistently praise its fuel economy, reliability, and comfortable ride, and they also highlight cargo space and safety as major strengths. Across the model years, the Prius also earns repeat praise for value and daily usability, especially for commuting and routine driving.
Expert reviews rate the 2016 and 2024 models among the highest across all years.
The main trade-offs called out in recent expert reviews are real-world fuel economy that can trail expectations, a cramped back seat, and limited cargo space.
30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
Are Toyota Prius models reliable?
Owners consistently praise the Toyota Prius for fuel economy, reliability, and comfortable daily driving. Expert reviews also reinforce its reputation for practicality, value, and long-term usefulness.
- Owners rate the Toyota Prius between 4.33 and 5.0 out of 5 stars across all model years in the data.
For used buyers, long-term ownership risk is generally tied more to age, mileage, and hybrid-system wear than to the Prius nameplate itself, so a careful history check and maintenance review matter most.
What should I look for when buying a used Toyota Prius?
Across all model years, at 67.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
| Model Year | Accident-Free % |
|---|---|
| 2026 | 93.5% |
| 2025 | 91.6% |
| 2024 | 90.7% |
| 2023 | 85.9% |
| 2022 | 80.7% |
| 2021 | 70.3% |
| 2020 | 65.5% |
| 2019 | 61% |
| 2018 | 58.8% |
| 2017 | 55.2% |
| 2016 | 53.6% |
| 2015 | 53.3% |
| 2014 | 54.4% |
Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.
Key things to evaluate:
- Safety package: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 (TSS 3.0) is standard in every 2025 Prius, with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
- Infotainment: Toyota Audio Multimedia with an 8-inch touchscreen on LE, XLE, and Nightshade Edition trim levels, plus wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Which Toyota Prius trim should I buy?
The 2025 Toyota Prius offers these trims:
- LE: The entry trim gets the Toyota Audio Multimedia system with an 8-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, making it the value-focused starting point.
- XLE: This trim adds a more upscale step in the lineup and can be equipped with the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, making it a strong choice if you want more tech without moving to the top trim.
- Nightshade Edition: This trim adds black 19-inch wheels, black exterior trim, and exclusive Karashi paint for a more distinctive look.
- Limited: This trim gets the larger 12.3-inch touchscreen and adds a surround-view camera system, making it the most feature-rich choice.
What Toyota Prius do most buyers choose?
The Toyota Prius years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.
| Model Year | Total Listings | Good + Great Deals % |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1,225 | 34.4% |
| 2025 | 1,135 | 34.5% |
| 2023 | 886 | 32.2% |
| 2014 | 767 | 30.8% |
| 2016 | 694 | 32.3% |
| 2026 | 689 | 36.1% |

What is the Toyota Prius's resale value?
| Model Year | Current Avg. Price | Year-Over-Year Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | $29,913 | −7.75% |
| 2024 | $29,884 | −0.69% |
| 2018 | $17,633 | −0.64% |
| 2014 | $11,027 | −0.31% |
| 2017 | $16,460 | +1.11% |
| 2023 | $28,433 | +1.13% |
| 2016 | $15,238 | +1.74% |
| 2019 | $19,996 | +2.71% |
| 2021 | $21,584 | +3.39% |

| 2022 | $23,522 | +3.6% |
| 2015 | $12,683 | +8.75% |
The table shows a mixed picture, with several newer years moving down and a number of older years moving up. That means you can still find some softening in recent model-year pricing, while other years continue to command firmer values.
The 2014, 2018, and 2024 model years are holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.
The 2015, 2022, and 2020 model years have held their value best, with prices flat to rising year-over-year.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard in every 2025 Prius, with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, lane-centering assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.
For the safest used buy, the 2025 model posts the highest confirmed score of 10/10.
Should I buy a used Toyota Prius now or wait for the next model?
Buy now if:
- Price trend: The 2025 model is at −7.75% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −0.69%.
- Deal availability: The 2025 model has 34.5% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 34.4%.
- Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $29,884. The Toyota Prius offers a futuristic, aerodynamic design that makes the current generation feel especially distinctive.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The Prius’ hybrid powertrain includes a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine and an 83-kilowatt electric motor, and Toyota says the net output measures 194 horsepower; with AWD, Toyota adds a second 30-kW electric motor at the rear wheels to provide extra traction when necessary, which increases the net output to 196 hp.
- Tech: Every 2025 Prius comes equipped with a Toyota Audio Multimedia (TAM) infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen on the Limited.
- Safety: Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is standard in every 2025 Prius, and the latest model also includes blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, Proactive Driving Assist, front and rear parking sensors, and automatic low-speed braking.
- Starting price: The Prius is available with pricing ranging from $29,545 to $36,560, including destination.
If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.

Toyota Prius test drive
overall
Has the Toyota Prius, the iconic standard-bearer of hybrid cars, finally outlived its usefulness?
Decades ago, few cars were anywhere near as fuel efficient as the Toyota Prius. Today, the 2025 Prius remains the fuel economy champion, but numerous alternatives are close behind. Some even offer more interior room at a lower price. That reality, coupled with the Prius’ cramped interior, limited trunk space, and general weirdness, means hybrid car buyers have options. In response, Toyota adds a new Nightshade trim level with a blacked-out look to the 2025 Prius lineup.
Verdict: The point of the 2025 Toyota Prius is fuel economy, but our Prius Nightshade test car averaged 39.2 mpg, falling significantly short of the EPA estimate of 52 mpg in combined driving. That certainly isn’t superior to roomier hybrid cars from Honda, Hyundai, or from within Toyota’s own lineup.
