Toyota has updated the Prius for 2025, adding a new trim level known as the Nightshade and increasing prices across the range. Mechanically, the Prius remains identical to the outgoing version, meaning it’ll continue to deliver the same level of efficiency that has made Toyota’s hybrid such an icon.

No other trim changes have been made to the rest of the Prius family, although there are some small price adjustments. Last year, the 2024 Prius LE started at $27,950 (before destination), but that figure has since increased to $28,350. Similarly, Toyota has jacked up the price of the LE AWD from $29,350 to $29,750. Both the Prius XLE and XLE AWD are also more expensive than last year, starting at $31,795 and $33,195, respectively, small increases from the $31,395 and $32,795 of 2024.
Sitting at the top of the front-wheel drive range is the Prius Limited, priced from $35,365, $400 more than the 2024 model. Rounding out the 2025 family is the Limited AWD, rocking a base MSRP of $36,765, also a $400 rise.
All 2025 Prius models rock a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle naturally-aspirated four-cylinder with 150 hp at 6,000 rpm. Additional grunt is provided by an electric motor at the front wheels, lifting combined output to 194 hp for FWD models and 196 hp for AWD models. Torque sits at 139 lb-ft (188 Nm) at 4,000 rpm. AWD models also have a second electric motor at the rear and can hit 60 mph (96 km/h) in 7 seconds flat, 0.2 seconds faster than the FWD version.
The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 system is standard across the range. It includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, radar cruise control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Proactive Driving Assist.
