Launched in 1997 as the world's first mass‑produced hybrid, the Prius introduced Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive architecture and has evolved through multiple generations to emphasize packaging, refinement, and maximum fuel economy.\n\nOver recent generations the Prius family has expanded to include conventional hybrids and plug‑in hybrids (PHEV), and modern versions emphasize efficiency first while improving drivability and safety equipment. The fifth‑generation Prius (the current generation in North America) continued that evolution with carryover and incremental changes across model years.\n\nAcross generations Prius models have typically traded outright performance for class‑leading EPA economy and accessible pricing relative to dedicated battery‑electric cars; exact powertrains and EPA figures vary by trim and by year (hybrid and PHEV variants are offered).", "priceRange": "$19,950 – $24,725 (USD)", "towingCapacity": "Not rated", "recallHistory": "1 recall (2023-2026)", "imageByYear": { "2015": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/2015-2018_Toyota_Prius_S.jpg", "2017": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Prius_%282%29.jpg", "2026": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/2026_Toyota_Prius_PHEV_au_SIAM_2026.JPG" }, "galleryByYear": { "2015": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/2015-2018_Toyota_Prius_S.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/2015-2018_Toyota_Prius_S_rear.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/2015_Toyota_Prius_%28ZVW30R%29_Hybrid_liftback%2C_SMRT_taxis_%282016-01-06%29_02.jpg" ], "interior": [] }, "2017": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Prius_%282%29.jpg" ], "interior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Hybrid_%2833543951853%29.jpg" ] }, "2019": { "exterior": [], "interior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Toyota_PRIUS_S%22Touring_Selection%222WD_%28DAA-ZVW51-AHXEB%28T%29%29_interior.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/The_interior_of_Toyota_PRIUS_A_Premium_%28DAA-ZVW51-AHXHB%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Toyota_Prius_Prime_%28PHV%29_2019_%28XW50%29_Interior.jpg" ] }, "2026": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/2026_Toyota_Prius_PHEV_au_SIAM_2026.JPG", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/%28SGP-Singapore%29_ComfortDelgro_Toyota_Prius_SHB4544R_2026-01-20.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/%28SGP-Singapore%29_ComfortDelgro_Toyota_Prius_SH6447M_2026-02-16.jpg" ], "interior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Toyota_Prius_PHEV_2023_%282%29.jpg" ] } }, "gallery": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/2015-2018_Toyota_Prius_S.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/2015-2018_Toyota_Prius_S_rear.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1c/2015_Toyota_Prius_%28ZVW30R%29_Hybrid_liftback%2C_SMRT_taxis_%282016-01-06%29_02.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dd/Prius_%282%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c6/2026_Toyota_Prius_PHEV_au_SIAM_2026.JPG", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/%28SGP-Singapore%29_ComfortDelgro_Toyota_Prius_SHB4544R_2026-01-20.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/%28SGP-Singapore%29_ComfortDelgro_Toyota_Prius_SH6447M_2026-02-16.jpg" ], "interior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0c/Hybrid_%2833543951853%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fa/Toyota_PRIUS_S%22Touring_Selection%222WD_%28DAA-ZVW51-AHXEB%28T%29%29_interior.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/15/The_interior_of_Toyota_PRIUS_A_Premium_%28DAA-ZVW51-AHXHB%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Toyota_Prius_Prime_%28PHV%29_2019_%28XW50%29_Interior.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d0/Toyota_Prius_PHEV_2023_%282%29.jpg" ] }, "years": { "2015": { "trims": [ { "name": "Two", "description": "Prius Two is the base liftback trim for 2015, featuring Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive that pairs a 1.8L Atkinson‑cycle inline‑four with electric motors for a combined output of approximately 134 hp.
