What the numbers say

A 2020 Toyota Prius Prime still asks 91% of what a 2025 one does — that's how much value it holds after 5 years. Among 40 sedans we price, that ranks #2, above the 64% class median. The steepest single-year drop comes at year 3 (−40.9%), after which losses ease to about 10.6% a year. Mileage costs it 40%: the same car reads 100k–150k instead of Under 40k miles. Calculated from 69 listings.
