Since its emergence on the market, the Toyota Prius has become the most popular mass-produced hybrid vehicle in the world. Toyota has sold more than 5 million Priuses over the past couple of decades, but it doesn’t appear to be taking its foot off the gas when it comes to this popular model. Let’s find out why the redesigned 2024 Toyota Prius has people so excited.

Updated Exterior and Interior
When Toyota started producing the Prius over 25 years ago, the company was seemingly more concerned with developing its hybrid powertrain than making it look like a fun car to drive. But that has changed, as Toyota has moved each year to turn the Prius into a more stylish car. Consequently, the 2024 Toyota Prius has a sportier and more aerodynamic appearance than previous versions. Toyota trimmed 2 inches of headroom from the rear seat to drop its roofline and give it a sleeker exterior.
Toyota took a similar approach to the interior of the 2024 Prius. It has a more sophisticated design, with features such as a brand-new gauge cluster. It also includes attractive options such as available heated front and rear seats, which some people may find surprising in a hybrid that has been traditionally defined by its practicality rather than its pomp.
Advanced Hybrid Powertrain
In addition to the exterior and interior updates, Toyota has also outfitted the standard 2024 Prius with front-wheel drive and a powertrain that features a 2.0-liter hybrid inline-four engine and an electric motor that can generate up to 194 horsepower. There’s also an all-wheel drive version of the 2024 Prius that adds an electric motor to its rear axle and allows it to produce up to 196 horsepower.
Upgraded Technological Features
“Flashy” isn’t always a suitable word to describe the technological features of the Toyota Prius, but it seems appropriate now after seeing the 2024 model in action. It comes with a standard 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system, with the option to upgrade to an available 12.3-inch touch screen. This larger screen offers standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, Wi-Fi, and voice control.
Its safety features are also impressive. You’ll find standard driver-assistance technology that is optional in vehicles similar to the Prius, such as automatic high beams, automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and lane-departure warning with lane-keeping assist.
The 2024 Prius continues Toyota’s commitment to delivering eco-friendly hybrid vehicles that are reliable, stylish, and as popular as ever. Swing by Woodrum Toyota of Macomb in Macomb, IL to explore our inventory of 2024 Toyota Prius models.
