2004 Toyota Prius Preview summaryImage

2004 was an impressive year for the Toyota Prius. It won Motor Trend's Car of the Year, was one of "Car and Driver's" Ten Best, was the North American Car of the Year, and International Car of the Year. Luckily, Toyota was more than ready for any increased demand, as they switched to a faster production model, outputting a Prius every minute instead every 8-10 minutes.

The battery pack for the 2004 Prius is guaranteed to last 8 years, although Toyota has said they expect it to last at least 15. Available as a 4-door sedan or 5-door hatchback, the battery has a range of 201-288 volts, and capacity watt hours ranging from 1310-1728. The gas engine maxes out at 4000-5000 rpm.

And the best part? Gas mileage is 60 city/51 highway.

Best. Car. Ever. We bought our first 2004 model in October 2003 (yes, probably the first people in Idaho to buy a Prius). We still have it (252K)--its been amazing (including in gnarly winter conditions as we ski a lot in Idaho and Utah). Never a problem, plus low-cost to drive. In 2009, we bought a second 04 used. It was great too. Someone t-boned us, and totaled it, so we bought a 2006. Weve driven that several times across the country twice in really bad winter weather conditions and drove by all the SUVs and semis that had been blown off the road . 2004 and 2006 Prius have been amazing cars for us.Jun 03, 2023

I owned this car for 13 years. Best car I ever had. Cheap to run, fun to drive, super crazy reliable, practical, and great space inside for stuff. I should not have sold it. Jul 08, 2021
