Toyota Prius vs. the competition
2018 Toyota Prius
2018 Honda Civic
Toyota Prius vs. Honda Civic
The Civic, no matter the trim level you choose, will never get the fuel economy of the Prius. But if you're OK with that, the Civic is worth checking out. The hatchback version can match the Prius on practicality and technology yet deliver a much more enjoyable driving experience. And as regular non-hybrid cars go, you still get high fuel economy with the Civic.
Toyota Prius vs. Honda Fit
Put simply, the Honda Fit is an imminently practical small hatchback. It's got a trick folding rear seat that increases the car's cargo-carrying versatility, and it's considerably more engaging to drive than the Prius. And while it can't hold a candle to the Prius' mileage claims, it might be frugal enough for your needs.
Toyota Prius vs. Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid
The Ioniq Hybrid is possibly the toughest competition the Prius has seen so far. Its Blue trim level returns an EPA estimated 58 mpg combined, while the SEL and Limited trims are rated for 55 mpg. The Ioniq Hybrid deserves a strong look because it offers equal amounts of technology and safety measures as the Prius but a more conservative approach to styling and interior design.

The 2018 Toyota Prius continues the compact hybrid car's fourth generation with few changes. That's not surprising because the recent redesign made this undoubtedly the best generation of Prius, improving on the formula in every way. The Prius continues to be the gas-electric hybrid car to which all other hybrids must be compared. There is now a growing range of Prius vehicles, but the hatchback car is successor to the original, which kicked off the hybrid revolution.
First on the Prius' list of virtues is fuel economy. The basic Prius is rated by the EPA to sip fuel at the rate of 52 mpg combined (54 city/50 highway). The even stingier Eco model gets 56 mpg combined (58 city/53 highway.)
The 2018 Toyota Prius is also a practical car. This tadpole-shaped paragon of packaging efficiency has five doors (including the rear hatchback) for loading people and cargo, and it provides plenty of room once they're in. And since it often operates on its electric drive system, it's quiet, with muted road noise.
Toyota's Entune integrated communications and entertainment system can sometimes be inelegant and the smartphone app that goes with it frustrating, but overall the interface between Prius, personal technology and human being is something to which you can quickly acclimate.
The Prius drivetrain features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 95 horsepower, and it's supplemented by a pair of electric motors housed within a continuously variable automatic transmission driving the front wheels. The electricity comes from a regenerative braking system and the gasoline engine itself, and it is stored in a lithium-ion battery pack. The end result is a modest peak of 121 hp, which means the Prius is not particularly swift.
There are four basic Prius models: One, Two, Three and Four, with each representing a bit more lavish equipment and a bit higher price. Beyond that there are the Two Eco, Three Touring and Four Touring submodels. There's no way to make a Prius sporty, but the Touring models are nearly luxurious, and the Eco uses a more efficient battery pack that both improves efficiency and opens up more cargo space in the back.
There's something pure about the Prius. It wasn't the first purpose-built hybrid, but it was the first to earn significant sales and it's the one that people see when they think "hybrid." It's one idea pursued relentlessly since the Prius hit the market in 1997.
Today's car market is filled with hybrids featuring a dizzying variety of technologies. Edmunds can help you decide if the 2018 Toyota Prius is the one that's your perfect fit.
