Toyota Prius Prime Depreciation & Resale Value

Toyota Prius Prime keeps an estimated 77% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #25 of 530 cars VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Toyota Prius Prime retains an estimated 77% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #25 of 530 cars we track. That is 17 points above the 60% five-year average for Sedan in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Toyota Prius Prime sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $32,975 it falls to around $25,489 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,486, about $4.10 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Toyota Prius Prime bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
