The quickest Toyota Prius on record is the 2024 Toyota Prius Prime SE Hatchback, which runs 0–60 mph in 6.1 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 14.70 seconds at 96.8 mph.
The slowest recorded Toyota Prius is the 2001 Toyota Prius Sedan, which takes 13.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 19.40 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 56 verified runs, a Toyota Prius reaches 60 mph in 9.94 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 17.40 seconds at roughly 80.4 mph.
We have verified test data for 16 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend, Motor Week, Road & Track and Toyota. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Toyota Prius can do, not a single marketing claim.
