    Toyota Prius 2021

    Toyota Prius 2021

    FROM
    $30,140

    The 2021 Toyota Prius range of configurations is currently priced from $30,140.

    Our most recent review of the 2021 Toyota Prius resulted in a score of 7.4 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Deputy News Editor Tom White had this to say at the time: The Prius can rest its weary head. The Age of the Hybrid has begun. Even though this iconic eco car might have lost its ultimate purpose to more mainstream models in the last few years, it’s still the best execution of Toyota’s hybrid tech on the market and if you can look past its divisive-as-ever looks, it’s comfortable and practical, too.

    You can read the full review here.

    This is what Tom White liked most about this particular version of the Toyota Prius: Seamless hybrid drive, Incredible fuel efficiency, Comfortable and spacious

    Toyota Prius 2021 FAQs

    I'm in the market to buy a new car and not too sure whether I should go with an electric car or a hybrid?

    This is a really topical question right now, and the fear is that you could buy something today that would be technically obsolete next week. However, if you look at the way alternative powertrains (hybrids and EVs) have progressed over the years (and it’s been decades since the Toyota Prius introduced us to the hybrid principle) that hasn’t happened yet. Nor is it likely to.

    Obviously, the best way to future-proof your purchase is to buy the latest tech. So that would be an EV. But even then, future EVs will be better than today’s models. That’s just progress for you.

    The other factor is how you use your car. If you only drive in an urban setting and can recharge at home, then an EV makes plenty of sense. But if you live or drive in regional areas, then a conventionally powered car remains a valid choice. If your driving is mainly urban running with the odd long-distance trip thrown in, then a hybrid is the one that makes most sense.

    As to whether you wait a few months, if you plan to buy a popular make and model, you’ll be waiting anyway. The global shortage of silicon chips as well as manufacturing bottle-necks due to Covid and other factors means that car-makers are struggling to keep up with demand.
