Even the interior is made to inspire, featuring a clean, modern design, high tech driver and multimedia displays, and ambient lighting. Altogether, it’s a progressive, sporty Prius, that excites the senses.

Under the hood, the 2024 Prius is powered by the fifth generation Toyota Hybrid System and a 2.0L engine, delivering up to 196 net hp on Electronic On-Demand All-Wheel Drive (e-AWD) equipped models and 194 net hp on Front-Wheel Drive (FWD) equipped models. With ample power the Prius still brings outstanding fuel efficiency, it has an impressive manufacturer-estimated 57 MPG combined rating – the best ever for a Prius and the most fuel-efficient hybrid in production for model year 2024. The available e-AWD system adds extra grip when needed while still having an impressive manufacturer-estimated 54 MPG combined rating.

The Prius also continues to play its part in Toyota’s diverse approach to reducing carbon emissions, as an iconic player in Toyota’s effort to move toward its “Beyond Zero” vision. With 16 electrified vehicles for customers to choose from, it’s part of a lineup that wears the new “Beyond Zero” badge, symbolizing Toyota’s global effort to get closer to a carbon neutral future.

The 2024 Prius will be available in a choice of six colors, including Wind Chill Pearl, Cutting Edge, Guardian Gray, Midnight Black Metallic, Supersonic Red or Reservoir Blue. The Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price, excluding Dealer Processing and Handling, will start at $27,650 for the LE grade.

Under the hood of the 2024 Prius is the fifth generation Toyota Hybrid System, which pairs the M20A-FXS inline four-cylinder 2.0L gas engine with two motor-generators through a planetary-type continuously variable transmission. A compact high-output/low-loss drive motor for the transaxle/motor uses a six magnet and electromagnetic steel plate configuration to support drive functions.

The engine, working in concert with the electric motor (MG2), assures responsive performance, while exemplary energy efficiency is achieved by using both electric motors (MG1 and MG2) to charge a lithium-ion battery. The result is an engaging acceleration experience with 194 combined hybrid system horsepower and an estimated 0-60 time of 7.2 seconds for FWD equipped models.
Another boost to Prius’ fuel efficiency comes from the Electronically Controlled Brake (ECB) system, which coordinates operation between the regenerative braking force of the electric motors and the hydraulic braking system force to provide optimal stopping power. By proactively using the electric motors to recover as much electrical energy as possible from the regenerative braking system, this extremely efficient cooperative control helps to maximize fuel economy.

An active hydraulic booster on the conventional (non-regenerative) braking system improves pedal feel and feedback for the driver. Brake Hold also comes standard, when engaged it is a convenient technology that reduces driver effort while waiting at a traffic light or while driving in heavy traffic. When the driver presses the accelerator, Brake Hold releases instantly.

Prius also offers EV mode, which allows the vehicle to be operated as a pure electric vehicle for short distances, depending upon certain conditions, such as battery charge level and vehicle speed.
