2024 Toyota Prius

Price Range: $27,950 - $36,365

Keith Buglewicz | Edmunds

Good

The 2024 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

Overview

Written by automotive expert Christian Wardlaw

3/9/2026

Now, on today's episode of the "Automotive Extreme Makeover!" reality TV series, we have the Toyota Prius. Seriously, it's hard to think of a car that has changed more dramatically in the past year or two. The 2024 Prius follows up on last year's redesign that introduced sleek new styling, more power, and a cabin with new technology features and a more modern aesthetic. Frumpy and/or dorky were good adjectives to describe the Prius in the past, but no longer.

Edmunds spotlight: High mpg without the snail-like acceleration

Thanks to its hybrid powertrain, the Prius delivers up to an EPA-estimated 57 mpg in combined city/highway driving. That's right up there with the most fuel-efficient cars you can buy, and we've verified the EPA's estimate in our own real-world testing. But fuel efficiency isn't the only thing the Prius has going for it. Underneath its appealing styling is a powertrain that helps the latest Prius to accelerate out of its own way, and then some. Compared to the previous-generation model, the 2024 Prius is packing up to 75 more horsepower, for a total of up to 196 ponies. And on top of all that, the Prius is more enjoyable to drive.

Competitors to consider

Efficiency-minded motorists who still aren't drawn to the latest Prius have alternatives to consider. They include the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, Kia Niro and Toyota's own Corolla Hybrid. But if you're impressed with what Toyota has done with the Prius, read our full Edmunds Expert Rating to get all of the details and opinions from our testing team.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brian Wong

Good

8.0

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Toyota Prius on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

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) but significantly slower than the new Honda Civic Hybrid (6.6 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

Buying Tips for the 2024 Toyota Prius for March

Here are some useful tips for buying and negotiating a deal on the 2024 Toyota Prius:

The Edmunds True Market Value shows that buyers are typically paying around 10% less than the MSRP for all trims of the 2024 Toyota Prius. This means you could save approximately $2,878 to $3,600 off the sticker price, depending on the trim level you choose.
Currently, there are no generally available cash rebates for the 2024 Toyota Prius. Keep this in mind while negotiating, as cash rebates can often sweeten the deal but are not an option in this case.
There is a limited number of new Toyota Prius vehicles available nationwide, with only 6 new cars on the market. The Limited and XLE trims are selling more slowly than most other new cars, spending over 450 days on dealer lots. This slower turnover might give you more leverage to negotiate a better price, especially with these trims.
If you're considering a used 2024 Prius, there are 316 used cars available for sale nationwide. The used Prius is selling more quickly with an average of 36 days on the market, so act swiftly if you find a good deal to ensure it doesn’t slip away.

Was this information helpful?

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 in most trims you'll have 20.3 cubic feet of cargo space available behind the rear seats. (The base trim uses less sound-deadening material, so it has an extra 3 cubic feet of cargo room.) 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. There's no underfloor storage.

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). AWD 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 the Prius' sleek and cohesive styling and how 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.

2024 Toyota Prius trim level differences

The 2024 Toyota Prius is a small hatchback available in three trim levels: LE, XLE and Limited. Each has a hybrid powertrain combining a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor to produce 194 horsepower. Front-wheel drive is standard. 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 Prime, is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Compare the 2024 Toyota Prius trim levels in-depth.

Which Prius trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think the midlevel XLE trim level provides the best blend of value and equipment. This version's larger wheels shave the fuel economy rating from 57 mpg to 52 mpg in combined driving, but in exchange you'll enjoy improved comfort and convenience as well as access to appealing options.

The reviews for the 2024 Toyota Prius show a mixed sentiment. Owners love the stylish design, smooth ride, and excellent gas mileage.

Toyota Prius vs. Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 is considerably quicker than the Prius and ultimately more efficient in its use of energy. Most people would likely call it the "cooler" of the two cars as well, though the latest Prius has certainly made up a lot of ground. But sticking with the Prius means a lower purchase price and less hassle for refueling during road trips.

Toyota Prius vs. Toyota Corolla Hybrid

You could save thousands by skipping the Prius in favor of Toyota's own Corolla Hybrid. But there are drawbacks. It is a sedan, so the Corolla offers less utility than the hatchback Prius. Also, at 138 horsepower, it isn't as quick to accelerate as the Prius. And aside from sticker price savings, there isn't a payoff for the more sluggish performance because the Corolla Hybrid also isn't as fuel-efficient.

Compare Toyota Prius & Toyota Corolla Hybrid features

Toyota Prius vs. Toyota Prius Prime

The Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid version of the Prius. It can travel an estimated 44 miles on electricity before the gas engine turns on, and then it returns about 52 mpg in combined driving. With 220 horsepower and the instant torque of its larger electric motor, the Prime scoots to 60 mph half a second faster than the standard Prius. However, you'll spend about five grand more to get the Prius Prime.
