1 car
Any Toyota Prius for sale can trace its roots back to being one of the first mainstream hybrids on the market, but newer models are far more refined. It's a great option for a compact hatchback, as it offers one of the greatest hybrid systems on the market. You can choose between a standard hybrid and a plug-in model for your used Toyota Prius, but both are great for fuel efficiency.

Toyota Prius buying guide
What types of used Toyota Prius cars are there?
The Toyota Prius pretty much started the hybrid trend when it launched back in 1997. It’s a bit of a pioneer and will guarantee a tried-and-tested hybrid hero.
Over the years, the Prius has seen many upgrades and improvements, with newer models offering plenty of safety, reliability and interior technology.
Its main competitors are the Honda Insight, Hyundai IONIQ and Kia Niro – all of which offer great value for money, but we think the Prius is just that bit better when it comes to real-world efficiency and usability.

Toyota Prius history
Although it can trace its roots back to 1997, not all early models were sold outside of Toyota’s home country of Japan. Second-generation models sold from 2003 to 2009 really saw the hybrid car gain mainstream attention.
> Third-generation Toyota Prius (2009) - Hugely efficient and highly popular as taxis in and around cities
> Fourth-generation Toyota Prius (2015) - Sharp styling and more car tech, plus a plug-in hybrid model
> Facelifted Toyota Prius (2018) - Minor redesign to keep the car looking modern including tweaked front-end layout
> Fifth-generation Toyota Prius (2022) - Slick-looking futuristic design, initially only available outside of the UK, but Toyota reversed that decision in late 2023
What features does the Toyota Prius have?
Inside, every Toyota Prius hybrid for sale offers quirky styling that features a techy digital gauge cluster and a large central dashboard display.
Toyota’s Touch 2 infotainment system works well and is very easy to use, but you can always just hook your smartphone up to the system instead, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
Top-spec models feature equipment such as leather seats, an upgraded JBL sound system, rain-sensing wipers, sat-nav and internet connectivity.
All Prius models offer 343 litres of boot space as standard, expanding to 1,400 litres when the rear seats are folded flat.
However, it's also worth remembering that the Prius Plug-in hybrid offers less – 191 litres – because of the extra space the larger battery pack and charging cables take up.
