2025 Prius Limited - will it ever come out?

You need to chill a little bit. Toyota doesn't release all their new model years at the same time. I think it's generally August through October excepting brand new generations that might be late(Like the 2023 Prius not actually hitting dealerships until around Feb of 23).

So far, only 8 2025 models are available across the entire Toyota lineup. That leaves 19 models that have not yet been updated for 2025. And just a reminder, the chance of there being any noticeable difference between a 2024 Prius and a 2025 Prius is about 0.0001%.

 

I am waiting for info on 2025s as well. Late Sept here. Still no word.

 

Will Americans ever realise that cars don't actually change once a year?

 

You might want to get the 2024 instead, as it should sell below MSRP once the 2025 is in.

It will probably be at the dealers by December. I doubt there will be any changes from 2024, but it remains to be seen. 2023 and 2024 are identical as far as I know.

 

It depends. Gen 4 Prius Prime had two major updates: The center rear seat was added in 2020, and TSS 2.0 replaced TSS-P in 2021.

Gen 3 Prius—the best-selling Prius ever—had a major taillight refresh in 2012—only two years after the first model year in 2010.

And, apparently, Gen 2 Prius also got a “mid-cycle refresh” only two years into its cycle in 2006 like Gen 3 did.

Likewise, the tenth-generation Corolla in the US got a major taillight refresh in 2011—only two years after the first model year in 2009.

It looks like Gen 4 Prius got its taillight refresh three years into its launch in 2019.

I doubt we will see a mid-cycle refresh for Gen 5 in the 2025 model year two years after its launch like in Gen 2 and Gen 3, but if we do, it’ll be interesting.

 

And the 2025 Prius should be announced circa mid-October like last year.

 

My '23 delivered on the first day of November last year, and it was the last '23 they got in at the dealership. The sales guy jokingly laughed and asked if I wanted to wait for a '24 (after waiting 2 months for my car to arrive). They had announced the 24's the beginning of October. All for perspective. The only change was one of the exit/locking tones (or so they tell me). Having a '23 has helped my insurance rate.

 

It seems to be a scheme, so the "car youtubers" can make a "review" for the same car again

This was actually one of the weird things when watching a "new" Prius review and then realizing its the same guy with kinda the same car just its the 2024 model now ( and he reviewed the 2023 model exactly the same way before).

Looks like the biggest change for the 2025 Prius Prime is that it's not called the Prime anymore and just gets the PHEV tag like elsewhere. The rest looks the same to me. Should give you an idea for the regular Prius.

 

And the mid-cycle refresh will now happen literally mid-cycle in the 2026 model year if it ever happens.
