How it scores for you10 scores
The dowdy-Prius era is over — 220 hp, 45 electric miles, then 52 mpg — an efficiency landmark that no longer punishes the driver.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; none of its 4 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +6 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $1,250 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 88% of cars we track.
20.3 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 47% of other hatchbacks we track.
The dramatic roofline cuts rear headroom and the plug hardware trims cargo; four adults fit, snugly.
220 hp makes this the first genuinely brisk Prius; sharp new chassis, though steering stays light.
Modern screens, TSS 3.0, and 45 miles of EV range lead the affordable-PHEV field.
The sleek roof brings a low seating position; ride is composed and the cabin much improved.
Typical resale value for a hatchback.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
