The Toyota Prius was the world’s first mass produced hybrid car and it still might be the most famous of all time. The nameplate was once synonymous with hybrids, and a symbol of the automotive future. But now sales of the Prius are falling as it has become a victim of a changing market and perhaps, its own success.

I'm 40 years old. I have never seen a car as reliable as the prius in my whole life. My wife has a 2007 2nd gen prius that she purchased brand new. The only thing she's done is the annual maintanance. The car is always driving, and it just go's and gos. Incredible! I imagine their sales have declined a bit due to the fact that you have more to choose from now. For example the rav4.

Some pass 500k miles in original battery but still less than 12 years old. I believe it is more about aging and temperature range where you live. In hot weather, it died faster, about 12 years. In cold and mild weather, it tends to last much longer, more than 15 years.

@@igorrosales1799 Prius in average last about 10 years in really hot weather. But if you park it on the shade or garage, it will last really long. When you drive it, Prius AC is really strong and has no problem with cooling. The main problem is the aging in hot temperature when you park it. it is even worse if you buy EV like Nissan Leaf or VW Golf with air cooling. Get only with active liquid cooling. Tesla, Bolt, BMW i.3, etc. But small Turbo charge engine will not last either, way shorter than prius lifespan.

I live in the midwest and an all electric vehicle would be useless as an only vehicle. Even at 400 miles between charges that isn't enough. It is not unreallistic here to drive most of a day to reach somewhere. And most of that driving is in the in the middle of nowhere and even the towns that you do find do not have charging stations. Only the largest towns have a charging station and even those are way too slow, you don't have that much time to stop. Maybe one day but I think we will see hydrogen powered cars combined with electric. Or some other low pollution generator/engine with a decent battery and motors.

I had a 10 year old Prius and decided to upgrade to the latest model. There was nothing wrong with the old one, I just thought it was time to upgrade. The old one sold in one day for full asking price to the first person who saw it. Prii are tanks when it comes to reliability, and hummingbirds when it comes to gas consumption. They are as roomy as a Camry, and can go as fast as you need to in California freeway traffic. The only downside is how butt ugly they are. If the Prius looked as good as the Mazda 3 hatchback the other car companies would go out of business.

Batteries fail, but not often at all. Turns out they are pretty sturdy. The batteries are always kept between 40% - to 80% of charge, the charging and discharging process is always very closely monitored by the vehicle. These batteries last a long time, and when they fail, it is about 1k€ to replace. If a turbo on your conventional car fails, that is likely to be more expensive. Transmission or clutch might be even worse. The Toyota/ Lexus hybrids don't have any of that.

@Carl James Sarcasm my good man. CA gas is taxed nearly 50 cents a gallon as of July 2019. Prices are high already and they require seasonal blends that supposedly burn cleaner based on temperature, which gives the oil industry more opportunities to jack up prices. The State looks at the cars clogging the streets and freeways as cash cows 💰🐮 (rather than constituents in need of relief). They know residents are mentally resigned to high and changing prices. They always get ready tax increases for various “reasons” and implement them at will. Residents go about their hamster wheel existences of “happiness” not realizing they are getting fleeced more each day. You’ll see them speak so fervently about high prices, while silently raising taxes. They nearly never back off (expire, recall) taxes either, just instal more. They have more than enough to govern the state, but governance is not the goal. Corrupt they become. Devious they are. Therefore, “smart but crooked”; devious and corrupt. Side note, CA state masters (who long to be masters of the country and the world) stoke the primal fears of residents all day by incessant propaganda to manifest their self-imposed role as savior or deity. Good wise people are shuttered, the masses suffer. Yay, California!

Until Volvo brought in their S/V/XC 60/90 T8 Twin Engine Plugin Hybrids as well as Volkswagen's plugin Golf GTE. Both have far better comfort and far more practical. Not to mention their boot capacity (or shall I say trunk space) are way bigger! Also they're still safer cars in real life, NOT in crash test labs. Also, their "EV only range" (and yes that includes Volvo XC90 T8) embarrassed Prius big time until Toyota re-designed their new plug-in Prius. That's not all, Honda Insight beats Prius in performance due to limited EV range / performance boast on the Toyota. Also the price tag of the way cheaper than the Prius. That means you'll need to do lots and lots of driving in order to Prius to pay itself where you pretty much don't need to on the Insight.

Something I didnt see you touch on is reliability. I know some can go for 200k to 300k easy. I see 15 year old Prius on sale at dealerships all the time and I assume theyre stll going along decently. Its rated one of the most reliable cars as well every year. That has to be hurting sales to some extent, maybe even more so than competitors offering alternatives.

Corolla will have hybrid too. It was since 2010 in Europe with Auris. Unfortunately, the Wagon (Corolla Touring Sport) is not available in North America yet. It is really great to have a station wagon with huge trunk but drive like regular Corolla Sedan, even sportier with full independence rear suspension.

So apparently everybody buys brand new cars every year according to the data in this video. They talk about the hybrid market dwindling and the "rise and fall" of the Prius. It's still one of the most common vehicles on the road anywhere you go, old and new ones. Also speaking of fuel efficiency and competition, brand new they're half the price of a Tesla. You're also able to fully repair it yourself and truly own it, unlike a Tesla.
