Expert Review, Pricing Analysis and Buying Guide

"The 2022 Toyota Prius remains a remarkably efficient hatchback, but it's no longer the must-have hybrid it once was." - Car And Driver

The 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid is a carry-over model from the 2021 model year. However, it does sport a newer Nightshade Edition at $29,445 in the midst of its trim lineup starting with L Eco at $24,525 and ending with Limited at $32,820. Its best fuel mileage still rests at 58 MPG thanks to its efficient 1.8L I-4 Hybrid engine. However, its J.D.Power Rating of a mere 76 slightly dents its reliability and quality indices.

Moreover, the Toyota Prius Hybrid depreciates by $8,853 in 5 years that may bring its resale value down to $15,000. Meanwhile, the fuel cost amounts to be $4,027 for the same time period considering the 15,000 miles/year average range. Including the repair expense of nearly $601 and maintenance payment of $3,118 might further increase one's finance figures.

Buying Advice

The XLE trim of the 2022 Toyota Prius is the one to have in one's garage. The heated front seats and SofTex touches on the seat fill in the void of lower trim cabins. The added safety features over the base L Eco and bigger alloy wheel further enhance its price tag justification and makes it to be the most cost-effective in the lineup.

Features

8.0/10

This configuration gets features such as the Fabric-trimmed seats and Audio Plus with 6-Speaker Sound system along with Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 as standards.

2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid costs $32,840 for its range topping Limited trim

The XLE trim costs $28,575 and tends to enhance the comfort with Heated front SofTex-trimmed seats and heated steering wheel. It also receives 17-inch wheels to ride on instead of the 15-inch alloy wheels. The Nightshade Edition with an expense has been integrated with the same convenience as that of the XLE. The last in the queue is the Limited at $32,820 having an exclusive Navigation System, 10-speaker JBL premium audio system, and other assets.

Engine and Performance

6.0/10

"Sky-high fuel efficiency with front or all-wheel drive remains the main draw for Toyota's iconic Prius hybrid." - cars.com

The 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid has been powered with a 1.8L I-4 hybrid powertrain that churns out 121 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque. It is coupled with a standard CVT either in RWD or AWDe. However, the optional AWDe can be availed of with LE, XLE, and Nightshade Edition trims only.

The Toyota Prius Hybrid comes with a Drive Select Mode that makes shift among the EV, Eco, and Power modes. The Eco is simply meant for an economical drive while the Power can help you squeeze past quickly in the cities. But it feels a slight sluggish while throttling and the soft suspensions dampen undulation insignificantly.

2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid has a 0-60 MPH mark of 10.8 seconds along with a top speed of 104 MPH

The 2022 Prius Hybrid accelerates from 0-60 MPH in 10.8 seconds while a quarter-mile takes 18 seconds on the clock. Apart from these, it has been armed with a regenerative brake system having 10-inch front vent and 10.2-inch rear disc rotors that bring it from 70-0 MPH within 194 ft.

Models	2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid	2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid	2022 Honda Insight Hybrid	2022 Kia Niro Hybrid

Torque	105 lb-ft @ 3,600 RPM	109 lb-ft @ 4,000 RPM	99 lb-ft @ 5,000 RPM	195 lb-ft @ 2,400 RPM

Quarter-mile	18.0 sec	16.8. sec	16.2 sec	17.2 sec
Top Speed	104 MPH	115 MPH	114 MPH	110 MPH

Based on the comparison, the Prius Hybrid is 1.1 seconds slower than the Ioniq Hybrid in 0-60 MPH. On the other hand, Honda Insight Hybrid has a 10 MPH higher top speed than its Toyota counterpart but is nearly $2,000 more expensive than the latter too.

7.0/10

"The Toyota Prius is one of the highest-rated vehicles for fuel economy, and one of the most efficient models without a charge port." - The Car Connection

Interior

6.0/10

"The Prius is a fundamentally easy car to get into and drive. Aside from the shifter, all other controls will feel immediately comfortable to the majority of drivers." - Edmunds

The interior of the 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid is an open spacious cabin with Fabric and SofTex seat trims on offer. The Fabric accents include the shades of Black and Moonstone while the SofTex adds Harvest Beige along with the same two Fabric formats.

Not just that, the SofTex-trimmed steering and seats available in the Toyota Prius Hybrid are incorporated with heat function from XLE onwards. Also, it has a smart-flow automatic climate control for interior temperature regulation and a cargo capacity of 27.4 cu-ft for loading necessary stuffs.

Models	2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid	2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid	2022 Honda Insight Hybrid	2022 Kia Niro Hybrid
Seating Capacity	5	5	5	5
Front (Headroom/Shoulder Room/Legroom; inches)	39.4/55.0/42.2	39.1/56.1/42.2	39.3/56.9/42.3	40.1/56.0/41.7

Cargo Capacity (cubic feet)	27.4	24.5	15.2	19.4

The 2022 Prius Hybrid has a 12.2 cu-ft bigger cargo volume than Insight that reduces to 3 cu-ft when compared against the Ioniq Hybrid. However, both Ioniq and Insight come with 4-inch better legroom in the rear row. Meanwhile, the infotainment unit of the Prius Hybrid entails the Audio Plus with a 7-inch touchscreen as standard.

The 6-speaker audio unit makes up for the musical notes and rhythms. However, one can experience the 10-speaker JBL premium audio system and use an 11.6-inch touchscreen in the Limited Trim. This trim also features the algorithm of the exclusive Navigation unit. The other notable features are:

7-inch / 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system

Power adjustable and heated front seats
SofTex Upholstery on seats and steering wheel
Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and Amazon Alexa integration
Climate control with pollen filter

Exterior

5.0/10

"The Prius has been an aesthetically polarizing car over the years, but that's part of the car's charm." - Kelley Blue Book

The 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid remains the same in dimension and curves with its 8 exterior colors. The finishes of the Midnight Black Metallic, Electric Storm Blue, and Sea Glass Pearl make it stand out in the crowd. Though its fascia is tech armed with Bi-LEDs in pairing with High Beam Assist but it lacks the appeal of modern design cravings.

The Toyota Prius Hybrid sprints on the tracks with its 15-inch and 17-inch alloy wheels as per trims. Moreover, the Adaptive Front Light System has been kept exclusive for the Limited trim. Swaying away from this brings the additional Premium Convenience Package at $515 into the light which adorns the top with a tilt/slide moonroof.

Models	2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid	2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid	2022 Honda Insight Hybrid	2022 Kia Niro Hybrid
Curb Weight (lbs)	3,010	2,996	2,987	3,100
Length (inches)	180.0	176.0	183.6	171.5
Width (inches)	69.3	71.7	71.6	71.7
Height (inches)	57.9	56.9	55.5	60.4
Ground Clearance (inches)	5.1	5.3	5.1	6.3
Wheelbase (inches)	106.3	106.3	106.3	106.3

From the numbers, it is evident that the 2022 Prius Hybrid has a 1-inch smaller ground clearance than the Kia Niro. This aids in going through extreme terrains or undulation-laden tracks. The Hyundai Ioniq, simultaneously, shares the curb weight and overall length and dimension with Prius to a large extent, resulting in parallel dynamics.

2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid vs 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid

The 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid lags behind the 2022 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid in all parameters. Right from the performance to range practicality to seating spaciousness, the Ioniq is far superior to the Toyota Prius Hybrid and hence gets the preference.

2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid vs 2022 Honda Insight Hybrid

The 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid has an impressive range and fuel economy against the Honda Insight Hybrid. However, when it comes to performance and cabin roominess, especially in the rear row, the Insight takes the edge and comes out to be a better proposition than the Toyota Prius Hybrid.

2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid vs 2022 Kia Niro Hybrid

Spacious on the inside and power performer on the outside, the Kia Niro is a step ahead of the 2022 Toyota Prius Hybrid. Though the miles coverage favors Toyota Prius Hybrid but it's not enough to make it a compelling choice between the two.

Final Verdict

The 2022 Toyota Prius is a decent hatchback for sale by the brand considering its features and technology. But the underwhelming sophistication inside the cabin in terms of comfort and engagement and the corresponding low power performance do stain its overall image against its rivals. Hence, the Hyundai Ioniq and other potent rivals can be further checked out before making it the final call.

Efficient and safe hatchback with a noisy engine. Last year, in the middle of March, I acquired a 2020 Toyota Prius. It has enough space for both front and rear seat passengers. It has a large cargo room and a plethora of active safety systems as standard. It is also extremely pleasant to drive, and its hybrid system achieves an impressive above 50 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Although i...
