The Toyota Prius is arguably the most well-known hybrid model on the market today. Due to that popularity, Toyota decided it would be a smart decision to expand the Prius line and create a fleet of more specialized Prius hybrid models in order to cater to specific drive habits. From that decision, the Prius c and the Prius v were created. Take a look at our chart below and see how these two compare to each other in terms of price, efficiency, and features.

2017 Prius v
The 2017 Prius v is a larger-than-life version of the regular Prius, offering drivers 34.3 cubic feet of cargo space and 97.2 cubic feet of passenger space, plus multiple seat configurations with additional storage compartments. An available panoramic view moonroof gives you not one, but two windows to the world, while rear seats that can recline and slide help to give you the best view possible. Safety features like the Vehicle Proximity Notification System and Smart Stop Technology help assist the driver during long trips, while standard ToyotaCare gives you a no cost maintenance plan with roadside assistance for added peace of mind.
2016 Prius c
While the 2017 Prius c model is still in the works, the 2016 model showcases a bold look all its own that gives off a futuristic, yet fun personality. Featuring hot colors like Electric Lime Metallic, Tangerine Splash Pearl, and Sparkling Sea Metallic, the c has no problem standing out in a crowd. The Prius c also features proven Hybrid Synergy Drive technology, which uses different modes for different types of driving. EV Mode runs solely on battery power for up to one-half mile at low speeds, meaning you save money on those small trips to convenience store. ECO Mode helps maximize fuel economy when going long distances.
