TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Toyota Prius V is the largest, most practical, and most family-friendly vehicle in the Prius lineup.

The 2016 Toyota Prius has moved much closer to driving like a regular car, while maintaining the highest fuel economy of any car without a plug; that should attract new buyers—if they can overlook the styling.

TCC Likes

Capacious, flexible interior
42-mpg combined EPA rating
Practical, usable console

Legitimate 50-plus MPG
Drives more like a regular car
Quieter, more isolated engine

TCC Dislikes

Lacks power under load
Numb, lifeless steering
Can cost more than $40,000

Polarizing styling, especially at the rear
Space Age-y central instruments
Rear-seat head room tight for tall riders
