Toyota Prius – 2026 Semi-Finalist

The 2026 Toyota Prius continues to lead the pack with its dramatic recent redesign, pairing standout styling with excellent fuel efficiency. Updates for 2026 are minor, focusing on expanded standard equipment and software enhancements for Toyota’s infotainment system. The Prius continues to be powered by a hybrid drivetrain that balances performance with excellent fuel economy. 

Juror Jil Mcintosh had this to say in her Toyota Prius review published in Autotrader.com:

“For its much-better looks, more power, and improved ride and handling, the Toyota Prius is impressive. It’s not perfect, but it does enough right that it needs to be cross-shopped when you’re in the market. It’s no longer just about fuel efficiency, but that’s just another point in its favour.”
