How will a 2025 Prius Prime be better than a 2018 Prius Prime like the one I have?

Prius Prime 2023+

I have a 2018, but if I were to upgrade to a 2025, what differences would I notice? How is the 2025 Prius Prime better than the 2018 Prius Prime?

Looks better, drives better, double electric range, slightly stiffer springs, apple carplay, Android Auto, and you'll hit your head from the lower roof line more.

I’m a low waisted 6’2”. Perhaps it’s from having a Hyundai Genesis Coupe for 14 years, but I find the entry and resulting headroom of my 24 to be just fine. Other than great nostalgia for my old stick shift, the PP is a great car for me!

I’m 6’3 and my son is 6’4 and we haven’t had any headroom problem in the front. My son has to adjust his position slightly because of headroom when he sits in the back, but he has no complaints.

Oh yea I don't find it to be a problem. But I've definitely hit my head a couple times. And I'm 5-7

I also will miss stick shift!!

You can't notice the differences if you have less braincells!

It also has better safety options, including adaptive cruise control with lane keep assist. (Reasonable lane keep assist)

True! On a well lined road you just need to look forward and tap the wheel every so often.

The prime has a capacitive steering wheel sensor. You just need to be touching it, you don't have to jiggle, tap, or move it to keep the ADAS engaged.

Tell that to my wheel.

Is the usa Trim different? In Canada every prime trim has capacitive steering wheel for ADAS. The non-prime needs a small jiggle

Idk, I came from a Subaru and you really had to jiggle. This one isn't as bad and maybe it's just a habit. It works well and is much better than Subaru.

I'm just saying you only need to hold the wheel in the plugin. It doesn't operate on a jiggle function. Maybe you're used to jiggling it, but at least in Canada all the plugin for the latest generation of Prius are touch based.

Maybe you have a 2022 or earlier model? Those needed a slight jiggle

Is there a specific section of the wheel that's in or what? Because mine (2024 XSE Premium) keeps bugging me every 15 seconds on long stretches of straight road.

Tbf I've had it freak out on rainy dark conditions with diverging lines. Again, tbf, I wasn't holding on to the wheel all that strongly but a wrong correction nearly jerked me right into another car. Not a problem if you hold the wheel like you should... But it's a little wonky.

Its finally a Prius that looks good. Its much faster (6.7s 0-60) and the tech is better (Apple Carplay, the top down parking view, digital rearview mirror, maybe some of the remote features).

I would imagine it drives better overall, at least it does compared to my previous Toyota Auris. And it drives so much better than any other cars I‘ve driven)

You're definitely not alone, I think the gen 4 Prime looks a lot nicer than the standard gen 4 too. The gen 5 is on a different level though!

[–]beeftony2023+ 2 points  

Its definitely better than the previous versions but far behind the 5th gen imo. It just still looks dated.

You’ll notice a higher car payment, or just a payment in general if yours isn’t already paid off.

I’m going to wait until they make more changes for gen5.

The smaller trunk is big turn off for me. Right now a bike fits with both wheels on in my gen4 prime.

It’s up to you on what’s worth it but I don’t have any complaints about my 2018 so far.

[–]Thefourthcupofcoffee 2 points  

Yes, but my wife isn’t a fan of that idea. It’s just the two of us. It blows my mind that I can get 75mpg with a fully loaded car.

That and roof racks is a whole other rabbit hole. I got too deep into finding one that wouldn’t piss me off with wind noise or a decent mpg hit

It’s not an upgrade if your 2018 is paid off.

[–]Jasonj24680 2 points  

I don't think you will get a tax credit like the 2018. I have a 2020 paid off and was looking to upgrade to get the increased range but it doesn't seem worth it.

Grab the sales brochures here and compare the details:

I have a 2021 Prius prime limited and can't justify buying a new one for my 35 mile commute. I wait until the 2021 is 5 years old and buy one that is still under warranty. I'm not sure what I would get for a 2021 with 41,000 miles either?

Wanna sell it? I’ve been looking

[–]supertrucker39 2 points  

What’s a steal price if you were to offer me something? I just know whatever is on KBB is probably not realistic, but who knows.
