2025 Toyota Prius

Price Range: $28,350 - $36,765 ^{Price range reflects Base MSRP for various trim levels, not including options or fees.}

+43

The 2025 Toyota Prius boasts stellar mpg — more than 50 mpg in real-world driving, most likely — but it's no longer the only reason to buy a Prius. It's also enjoyable to drive and fitted with many helpful features. The car's main downsides are mediocre utility and rear passenger comfort.Read full review

2/22/2024(updated 10/16/2024)

The Prius has been one thing over the years: efficient. Not pretty. Not cool. Just efficient. But the fifth-generation Prius, which stunned us with svelte lines and respectable power in its 2023 debut, did something no other Prius — heck, no other compact hybrid — has ever done: It was at once attractive, quick and ridiculously efficient, achieving 57 mpg combined in its most miserly trim. This is the world we live in now. And it's a good one.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $2.88 per gallon for regular unleaded in Virginia.}

Edmunds spotlight: There's already an attractive Prius. Why not a fun one?

Given the Prius' relatively long product cycles, we don't expect any major updates for 2025. After all, the 2023 redesign included not just a new platform and powertrain, but a complete makeover of the Prius' personality. So Toyota doesn't need to do much to keep it fresh. The Prius already shines with modern tech and driver assist features, so maybe — just maybe — Toyota will add performance for the 2025 model year. The brand hinted at the idea with the Centennial GR Edition Prius concept at the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year. A Prius that's both beautiful and truly engaging to drive? We never thought we'd see the former and it happened. So who knows.

Competitors to consider

The Honda Civic with its newly available hybrid powertrain and the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid are two great options. They have roomier back seats than the Prius and still get great mpg. You might also want to check out the Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Formerly known as the Prius Prime, it has a bigger battery that you can charge up to provide about 40 miles of all-electric range before the car switches over to driving like a regular Prius. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below to help you decide which of these small hybrids will be best for you.

8.0

out of 10

We drove the 2025 Toyota Prius on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Prius drive? The latest Prius is smooth and able to smartly accelerate from a stoplight. It's also just fine for when you want to merge onto a highway or climb a long grade. At Edmunds' test track, our front-wheel-drive test Prius accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, which is significantly quicker than the Prius' main rival, the Kia Niro (9.7 seconds). Around turns, the Prius is stable and secure. The economy-biased tires don't provide much grip but we get the sense that the Prius would actually be kind of fun to whip around turns if you put stickier tires on it.

In everyday driving, the Prius is smooth and easy to drive. Leaving a stoplight, you'll rarely notice the hybrid power transition from the electric motor to the gas engine.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Prius? The Prius' front seats offer enough support to be comfortable for longer stints. The rear seats are also comfortable, though they don't recline. We like how the Prius rides smoothly over bumps and broken pavement. However, excessive tire, wind and engine noise under acceleration holds the Prius back from being a fully relaxing car to drive.

There's only a single climate zone, which is a bit of a bummer. But most Prius trims have heated front seats, and ventilated front seats are found on the top Limited trim.

Interior

7.5/10

How’s the interior? A conventional dashboard layout and well-placed controls make the Prius interior functional and easy to interact with. Less appealing is the digital instrument cluster. It displays too much information and looks cluttered as a result. Its placement and shape are also awkward; most of our drivers found that when they adjusted the seat and steering wheel to their desired position, the top of the steering wheel partially blocked their view of the display.

The Prius' rear door openings are kind of small, and you have to duck down quite a bit to get into the back. Once you do get inside, headroom is in short supply for anyone near 6 feet tall. That means you have to slouch down to avoid hitting your head on the ceiling each time the car goes over a bump. Rear visibility is poor because of the angled rear window and thick rear roof pillars.

Build & Price

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? Our Prius Limited test vehicle had the upsized 12.3-inch center touchscreen. We like the clean interface, responsiveness and Google-powered navigation of Toyota's latest multimedia system. Wireless connectivity for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay comes standard, along with a wireless charging pad on higher trims. But be careful: It's not cooled, so after about an hour in there your phone will come out feeling toasty. If you prefer to charge more conventionally, there are six USB-C ports spread throughout the cabin.

The Prius' driver aids are also a highlight. The lane keeping assistance system keeps the hybrid centered in its lane effectively, and acceleration and braking are smooth when using adaptive cruise control. Another feature, Proactive Driving Assist, provides subtle hints to the driver in everyday situations. For example, if traffic slows ahead of you, the Prius will start to brake very subtly as you lift off the gas as a hint to start slowing down. It also flashes an LED strip on the dash if traffic in front of you pulls away. It would be easy for a system like this to be annoying enough to shut it off, but it never came across as overbearing during our testing.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? Open up the Prius' hatchback and you'll have 20.3 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the rear seats. This is more cargo space than you'll get from a similarly sized sedan's trunk, but it's less than what the Kia Niro offers. We couldn't fit a set of golf clubs lengthwise across the back of the Prius. The raised cargo floor might suggest some sort of underfloor storage, but there's none to be found.

Up front, the Prius has a skinny-but-deep center console bin and a helpful rubberized space under the dash to store small items. The available wireless charging pad is conveniently located next to the gear shifter. The cupholders are a touch larger than usual and will fit most water bottles.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

9/10

How’s the fuel economy? The Prius' calling card is its efficiency, and this latest model still delivers. The EPA estimates you'll get 57 mpg in combined city/highway driving for the LE trim or 52 mpg combined for XLE and Limited trims (front-wheel-drive models). All-wheel-drive models knock 3 mpg off each of those figures. On our real-world testing route, we observed 52.3 mpg, hitting the EPA-estimated 52 mpg combined number for the Limited FWD Prius nearly on the nose. There's a reason the Prius name and fuel efficiency go hand in hand.

Value

8/10

Is the Prius a good value? Toyota offers a three-year/36,000-mile standard warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. But on hybrids like the Prius, the hybrid components are covered for eight years/100,000 miles and the battery itself up to 10 years/150,000 miles. Toyota also provides two years of free maintenance, something not often found outside the luxury sphere.

The Prius is an economical car, but the pricing on its higher trims has gotten to where it's no longer a frugal option. Opting for all-wheel drive pushes the price tag up even higher. At these elevated prices, some hybrid SUVs and midsize sedans come into play if you find yourself needing or wanting more room for passengers or cargo.

The Prius' interior quality has taken a step forward on this latest model, but there are still some obvious hard plastic panels. The doors feel a bit flimsy and make a tinny sound when you close them.

Wildcard

8.5/10

We like the Prius' sleek and cohesive styling and the fact that it's one of the quicker compact cars around and you can get over 50 mpg in most cases. Fuel economy remains the Prius main attraction, but the rest of the car is compelling as well.

Which Prius does Edmunds recommend?

Toyota hasn't released official information on the 2025 Prius as of this writing. We'll update our recommendation if anything changes, but based on last year's Prius, we think the midlevel XLE trim level provides the best blend of value and equipment. This version's larger wheels reduce fuel economy slightly but in exchange you'll enjoy improved comfort and convenience as well as access to appealing options.

All-wheel drive (AWD) is optional, adding a second electric motor at the rear wheels and increasing output to 196 horsepower. A plug-in hybrid version of the Prius, called the Prius Plug-in Hybrid, is reviewed separately on Edmunds.

2023 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I bought the car at MSRP from a dealer 1200 miles away. Most dealers are trying to add $6,000 in BS dealer add-ons. (Black emblems: $1,995. Really.) Had a great, fun, economical drive home.

2023 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback AWD (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I am loving this new redesigned Prius! This is my first Toyota and everything is beyond my expectations. Getting around 55 both freeway and city for LE AWD. Only complain - If you are buying the LE, please note that keyless entry ONLY works on driver’s door. It applies to the back trunk as well, so you will need to unlock before you could open the back trunk even wearying the key.

2023 Toyota Prius XLE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

We purchased the Prius and love it. However it might be a good idea for potential buyers to stick with the base LE model as it is only model with a spare tire unless you go out and spend $600 plus to add a spare and corresponding styro foam inserts that the LE comes standard with. This is important because replacement 19” Prius tire are an odd size that no tire shop keeps in stock and …

I had been looking for a solution, including replacing the tires with run-flats (as new BMWs are equipped)--but nobody makes this size. Then it happened--a big pot-hole, a broken tire (Toyota's sealant kit doesn't apply), 6 hours of dealing …
