Toyota’s funky hybrid steps deeper into the mainstream.

#8. Prices for the 2010 Prius range from the low $20,000s to about $34,000.

Toyota sells the 2010 Prius in four flavors: Prius II, Prius III, Prius IV, and Prius V. The Prius II, priced from $23,550, is well-equipped with a nice array of power features, stability and traction control systems, and seven airbags. With a starting price of $24,550, the 2010 Prius III tacks on a standard JBL sound system, XM satellite radio, and Bluetooth capability, while adding items such as a touch-screen navigation system and a solar-powered ventilation system to the options menu. Bump up the $27,350 Prius IV, which is the model we tested, and enjoy standard leather upholstery and heated front seats. Finally, there's the $28,820 Prius V, a model that goes to town with standard 17-inch alloys and auto-leveling headlights, as well as options like a lane-departure warning system and intelligent cruise control. Select that fully-loaded 2010 Toyota Prius V, and you'll be looking at about $34,000. All prices include a $750 destination charge.
