Expert 2019 Toyota Prius c review

our expert's take

What Is the 2019 Toyota Prius c?

The subcompact Prius c hybrid is a smaller alternative to the regular Prius. C stands for “city,” and the Prius c is a four-door hatchback that competes with high-mileage subcompacts like the Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta and Chevrolet Sonic.

What’s New on the 2019 Toyota Prius c?

A new trim level strategy includes L and LE versions in place of last year’s numerical trims. New features for the base L trim include piano-black interior accents, a 60/40-split folding backseat, cruise control, a cargo cover and a cargo area light.

What Features in the 2019 Toyota Prius c Are Most Important?

The Prius c’s gas-electric hybrid drivetrain is rated 46 mpg combined by the EPA, which will save owners money at the pump. Despite its small exterior footprint, the Prius c’s hatchback design offers 17.1 cubic feet of cargo room. Important active safety features, like automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning, are standard.

Should I Buy the 2019 Toyota Prius c?

The Prius c is more affordable than its bigger brother, the regular Prius, and offers fuel efficiency that’s nearly as good. The Prius c’s hatchback versatility is a plus, but the driving experience suffers from disappointing highway acceleration, road noise and unnatural brake-pedal feel.

I am new owner of a Prius c

I still have much to learn about the car, but so far I am enjoying driving it. The manuals are very helpful. Tom Pottenburg, the sales consultant who helped me, has been very helpful with any questions I have about the car.
