Overview
The Toyota Prius is a sedan known for this above all: now genuinely good-looking with 57 mpg and available awd. It cross-shops against the Kia Niro, Toyota Camry, and like every vehicle it has a personality — strengths worth paying for and quirks worth checking before you sign anything.
What it costs
Trims to know
LE, XLE, Limited, Prime. Mid trims usually carry the best used value — top trims depreciate hardest (good used buys), base trims resell easiest.
What to check before buying
Model-specific: Check for catalytic-converter theft history on older gens.
- Check tire wear evenness — it reveals alignment or suspension issues
- Cold-start the engine and listen for the first 30 seconds
- Confirm all recalls are closed at the dealer, not just 'ordered'
- Get the out-the-door price in writing — vehicle, tax, title, doc fee, nothing else added
