The 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.

What's new

No changes for 2024
Part of the fifth Prius generation introduced for 2023

Overview

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.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 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 $3.52 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

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 TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

8.0/10

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 test front-wheel-drive 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.

Build & Price

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.

Technology

9.0/10

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

8.0/10

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.

Fuel Economy

9.0/10

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

8.0/10

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.

Which Prius 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.

Toyota Prius models

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. Keep reading for our breakdown of the significant features you get with each Prius trim level.

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.

Great hybrid!!

Hybrid lover, 05/22/2023

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.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Toyota Prius, so we've included reviews for other years of the Prius since its last redesign.

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.

2024 Toyota Prius First Impressions

byKurt Niebuhr

•2/23/2023

What is the Prius?

Fresh off one of the biggest and most stunning redesigns in recent history, the Toyota Prius remains one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles on sale today. Underneath all of that new style is a new powertrain that's considerably more powerful than the previous model (75 more horses, to be exact) yet maintains the Prius' tradition of fuel frugality. Depending on the model, the Prius delivers between 49 and 57 mpg. And, on top of all that, the Prius is decidedly better to drive and offers a far more traditional and user-friendly interior layout compared to the outgoing version.

With such a major redesign still visible in the rearview mirror, it's safe to say that Toyota isn't likely to make any major changes to the 2024 Prius. But there is one rumor that's got everyone's attention. Toyota is reportedly working on a high(er)-performance version of the Prius, which could be known as the GRMN (Gazoo Racing Meister of the Nurburgring) Prius. The reports originated with Japanese outlet Best Car, which said the Prius Prime, the plug-in version of the Prius (which we cover in a separate review), would be the starting point for this sportier Prius. All of this has yet to be confirmed. If it's true, though, some of the performance enhancements, like a stiffer suspension and sport-themed styling and interior touches, could make their way to the standard Prius.

While we like the idea of a truly fun-to-drive Prius, even though we're still struggling to get our heads around it, it remains to be seen if more efficiency-minded motorists will accept a more athletic version of the Prius. If a more conventional hybrid is more your speed, the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, Kia Niro and even Toyota's own Corolla Hybrid remain economical options.

Edmunds says

We wouldn't have believed you if you'd told us the Prius would morph into an attractive and fairly satisfying car to drive, so why should we discount the rumors of a high-performance version of the Prius as a distinct possibility? Stay tuned to Edmunds for all the latest news on the upcoming Prius and every other hybrid on sale today.
