2024 Toyota Prius Changes
There are no changes to the Prius range for the 2024 model year. Toyota’s iconic hybrid remains a three-trim range with the option of front or all-wheel drive on each model, and prices are up by just $200 on last year.
Choosing Your 2024 Toyota Prius
With no mechanical differences between the three Prius trims, your choice comes down to drivetrain and specification options. AWD is a $1,400 option on all three models, which starts at $28,745 (all prices include destination) for a FWD LE model. At the other end of the scale, you’ll pay $37,160 for an AWD Limited model.
2024 Toyota Prius Engine Options
The 2024 Toyota Prius engine range is restricted to a single model – a two-liter four-cylinder unit generating 194 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque, supplied to the front wheels through a CVT transmission. Performance is enhanced slightly in AWD versions with the installation of an extra electric motor on the rear axle, increasing output to 196 hp, but torque remains unchanged.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque |
2.0 (FWD) | 194 hp | 139 lb-ft |
2.0 (AWD) | 196 hp | 139 lb-ft |
2024 Toyota Prius Fuel Economy
2024 Toyota Prius fuel economy fluctuates across the range. The best figures are returned by FWD LE models, which achieve an EPA-estimated 57 miles per gallon city, 56 mpg highway, and 57 combined. Gas mileage dwindles in high-spec AWD XLE and Limited models, though they’ll still return a highly respectable 49/50/49 mpg.
2024 Toyota Prius Towing Capacity
With its modest torque output, the Prius is not a suitable tow car.
2024 Toyota Prius Dimensions & Cargo Capacity
2024 Toyota Prius dimensions include a 108-inch wheelbase, rear legroom of 34.8 inches and headroom ranging from 36 to 38 inches. 2024 Toyota Prius cargo space in LE models is a generous 23.8 cu ft with the rear seats in place, dropping to 20.3 on other trims.
2024 Toyota Prius Safety
Every Prius comes with eight airbags and the third generation of Toyota’s Safety Sense system. This delivers driver aids including auto high beams and road sign assistance, pre-collision preparation with pedestrian detection, radar-guided cruise control with lane steering assist, and departure alert.
Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alerts also come standard, as does a safe exit assist system. Limited models are the only ones fitted with front and rear parking assistance including automatic braking, though this is available at negligible cost on lesser trims.
2024 Toyota Prius Technology
LE and XLE Priuses make do with an eight-inch touchscreen and a six-speaker stereo, while Limited models come with a far more advanced 12.3-inch infotainment display and an eight-speaker amp-powered JBL audio system. Every model has wireless smartphone mirroring, WiFi hotspot capabilities, and remote vehicle interaction through a smartphone app.
2024 Toyota Prius Trims & Prices
2024 Toyota Prius LE – MSRP from $28,745
Build & Price >LE Priuses cut a dash externally with their bi-LD projector headlights, heated and powered folding outside mirrors, 17-inch alloy wheels, and color-keyed handles. The interior is relatively spartan, though it does offer keyless entry and push-button start, climate control, and power windows.
Considering it only costs $35, you’d be mad not to add front and rear parking assistance with automatic braking to your LE Prius. It’s unclear why it isn’t a standard fitment.
2024 Toyota Prius XLE – MSRP from $32,190
Build & Price >Surprisingly, XLE models are the first to receive rain-sensing wipers, while their 19-inch alloy wheels are also an unexpected touch on a hybrid sedan.
The interior shows some welcome improvements over LE, with a heated steering wheel and heated front seats joining eight-way power adjustment (including power lumbar) for the driver. Other upgrades include wireless device charging, front and rear park assist, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
A fixed glass roof is a $1,000 option, a 12.3-inch multimedia screen will cost $735 and a digital key is a $275 upgrade. These options can also be bundled into packs, though combining them into a package doesn’t save any money.
2024 Toyota Prius Limited – MSRP from $35,760
Build & Price >Some of the enhancements to Limited models aren’t obvious, like the larger ventilated front brake discs. However, it’s easy to spot the fixed glass roof, illuminating an interior that features memory settings for the driver’s seat, heating and ventilation for both front occupants, a power liftback, and the ability to use a smartphone instead of a key. This is the only Prius to receive a 12.3-inch multimedia screen as standard, powering an eight-speaker JBL audio system.
The Limited Premium Package will set you back $1,635, bundling in a digital rearview mirror and heated rear seats with a surround-view camera system and parking assistance.
The standard infotainment screen is underwhelming, so we’d choose a mid-range XLE model and then spend $735 upgrading to the larger 12.3-inch interface.
