2025 Toyota Prius

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Prius.

Transmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2025 Toyota Prius routes power through an automatic transmission with variable gear ratios, returning an EPA-estimated 57 mpg in the city, 56 mpg on the highway, and 57 mpg combined. That fuel-economy performance remains the car's calling card, and this model year is matched to an unusually light reliability footprint: NHTSA has recorded just 15 owner complaints, with the electrical system and latches/locks/linkages drawing the most attention alongside two recalls. Plotted against a 2000–2026 complaint arc that stretches from 4 cases in 2000 to a peak of 2,819 in 2010, the 2025 figures sit near the quiet end of the curve, giving researchers a strong baseline for tracking the nameplate's long-term dependability.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Prius sits at the low‑end of the generation’s complaint and recall curve, with only 15 federal complaints and 2 recalls—well below the 2000‑2010 peak of thousands of complaints and double‑digit recalls. Since 2018 the model line has shown a steady decline in both complaints (from 35 in 2018 to 5 in 2026) and recalls (from 1‑4 per year to 1‑2), indicating improving reliability. The few 2025 issues are concentrated in the electrical system and latches/locks, with a single power‑train and tire complaint, and there were no fire reports. Compared with the preceding years, 2025 continues the downward trend, suggesting no new systemic problems. **Takeaway:** 2025 is a strong year to buy from a federal‑record perspective, as its low complaint and recall counts imply solid overall quality.
