2025 Toyota Prius

Price Range: $28,350 - $36,765

Very Good

The 2025 Toyota Prius is more than just an easy-to-drive, ultra fuel-efficient hatchback. This hybrid also packs in a lot of helpful features and is far more fun to drive than you might expect. The only real demerits are a cramped rear seat and a small trunk.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Jared Gall

3/9/2026

Let's face it, you want to save money at the gas station, but you don't want to look like your high school geography teacher while you're doing it. For literal decades, the Toyota Prius was just efficient enough to be considered, but just too much of an ugly duckling to be justified (for many). But now that's all gone. The new Pruis is a genuinely desirable car. Sleek, handsome, beautiful; whatever superlatives you throw upon it, there's no doubting the new one is a looker. Oh, and it still gets more than 55 mpg, makes more power than before, and is better to drive than ever before.

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 (and it's a big 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.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brian Wong

Very Good

7.4

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.

Driving experience

7.6/10

How does the Toyota Prius drive? The Prius accelerates smartly from a stop, and it's also just fine for merging onto a highway or climbing a grade. At Edmunds' test track, our front-wheel-drive test Prius accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds — quicker than the Kia Niro (9.7 seconds) but slower than the 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 be kind of fun on stickier tires.

The Prius is smooth and easy to drive. You'll rarely notice the hybrid power transition from the electric motor to the gas engine. It rides smoothly over bumps and broken pavement.

Rear visibility is poor because of the angled rear window and thick rear roof pillars. The lane keeping assistance system is effective, and adaptive cruise control operates smoothly. Proactive Driving Assist provides hints 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 cue to start slowing down. It also flashes an LED strip on the dash if traffic in front of you pulls away. It never came across as overbearing during our testing.

Comfort

5/10

How comfortable is the Toyota Prius? The Prius' front seats offer enough support to be comfortable for longer stints. 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, the rear seats have good legroom, but headroom is in short supply for anyone near 6 feet tall, and the seats don't recline. That means you have to slouch down to avoid hitting your head on the ceiling each time the car goes over a bump. 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 bummer. But most Prius trims have heated front seats, and ventilated front seats are found on the top Limited trim.

A conventional dashboard layout and well-placed controls are easy to interact with, but the digital driver instrument cluster is an ergonomic disaster. Most of our drivers found that when they adjusted the seat and steering wheel to their desired position, the top of the steering wheel blocked a good portion of the display. The display itself also has too much information and looks cluttered.

In-cabin tech

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.

Buying Tips for the 2025 Toyota Prius for March

Here are some tips to help you get the best deal on a 2025 Toyota Prius.

The Edmunds True Market Value for the 2025 Prius is about 8% below the MSRP. This saving translates to approximately $2,600 across the model's price range, giving you a solid negotiation point.
Right now, there are no generally available customer cash rebates on the 2025 Prius. However, if you're a student, a recent college grad, or in the military, a rebate of $500 might be available for you.
New Toyota Prius cars are taking significantly longer to sell than the average new car, specifically the XLE and Limited trims, which could give you more leverage when negotiating. However, the Nightshade trim is selling quickly, which might limit your negotiation power.
If leasing is an option, the median monthly lease payment for the Prius is roughly $371 with around $2,871 due at signing for a 36-month term and a mileage limit of 12,000 miles per year.

Storage & cargo

6/10

How’s storage and cargo? 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.

Value

6.4/10

Is the Toyota Prius a good value? The Prius is an economical car, but pricing on its higher trims isn't frugal. Adding all-wheel drive pushes the price up even higher. Some hybrid SUVs and midsize sedans are similarly priced and offer 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 closed.

Toyota offers a three-year/36,000-mile standard warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty, while the hybrid components are covered for eight years/100,000 miles and the battery for 10 years/150,000 miles. Toyota also provides two years of free maintenance, something rare outside the luxury realm.

MPG

10/10

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.

X factor

9/10

We like the Prius' sleek and cohesive styling. We also like 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.

2025 Toyota Prius trim level differences

The 2025 Toyota Prius is a small hatchback available in four trim levels: LE, XLE, Nightshade 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 Prius Plug-in Hybrid, is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Compare the 2025 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 reduce fuel economy slightly, but in exchange you'll enjoy improved comfort and convenience as well as access to appealing options.

Owners Say

The overall sentiment of the 2025 Toyota Prius from the reviews is mixed. Owners love the Prius for its sporty design, smooth ride, excellent gas mileage, and advanced safety features. However, some owners find the car's lower roof uncomfortable, especially for taller people, and complain about the lack of a spare tire and reduced trunk space. Additionally, some find the rear visibility poor and are disappointed with the manual's complexity and high cost compared to previous models.

Honda Civic Hybrid vs. Toyota Prius: Which is the Better Hybrid Buy? | Hybrid Comparison Test

The redesigned Toyota Prius made major waves when it was introduced for the 2023 model year, bringing a newfound sense of style and impressive driving characteristics to the previously dowdy sedan. But for 2025, the Prius faces a new hybrid challenger, as the Honda Civic Hybrid has risen from the dead and is ready to duke it out with the new Prius. So, which is the better…

Toyota Prius vs. Honda Civic

The Honda Civic Hybrid was recently reintroduced to the Honda lineup (likely as a way of directly competing with Toyota's stunning new Prius). The Honda is just as nice to drive, though perhaps not as sleek to look at. Where it fights back, assuming you opt for the hatch, is the mass of cargo room behind the rear seats the compact Prius just can't offer. If you find yourself hauling big items often, the Civic is the clear winner on pure utility grounds.

Toyota Prius vs. Hyundai Elantra Hybrid

The Hyundai Elantra is the clear value king of the small hybrid segment. A fully loaded Elantra Hybrid — which comes with just as many bells and whistles as a fully loaded Prius — is less than a mid-grade version of the Toyota. You're not giving up too much in refinement either. Sure, the Hyundai isn't as quiet or good to drive, but for many those aren't deal breakers. If you want to save cash at the pump and on your monthly payment, the Hyundai is worth a hard look.

Toyota Prius vs. Toyota Corolla Hybrid

The Prius' biggest rival might come from within the Toyota family. The Corolla hybrid is a lot like the aforementioned Hyundai in that it's more affordable, gets similar features, and costs less. What you truly give up is the noticeable dip in interior material choice and quality. Simply put, the Prius is the much more premium, nicer Toyota to be in. But if you just want a hybrid from Toyota, the Corolla is well worth a look.
