2017 Prius Liftback Prices Announced

I'm assuming Toyota may be trying to pack more standard advanced tech features to better compete with the latest '17 Accord Hybrid base trim and other competitors as well...

* Thanks for posting up and sharing.

 

Yes indeed. I was at the Toyota dealer Friday afternoon and they claim the 2017s will be at their dealership end of August. I suspect closer to September-October time frame. Regardless, I'm hoping @RoadNoise will get a chance to test the 1.1 mile loop with his 2016 Level 2 ECO.

Late thought, staff at the local dealer reports they will NOT be getting a Prius Prime. So much for a 50-state strategy.

Re: Prices wonder if that's the stronger Yen, not sure how $/yen is trending though

 

Good thing I pick my 2016 three with ATP up on Monday. Saved another $500 over the 2017's...

Not to mention probably little or no discount on the new model year..

 

I just got a call on Friday that they were able to secure a 2016 Prius 4 with AT and CX. I am glad they were able to go get one before 2017. It sounds like the only difference for the model and option I want would be increased base price and lower incentives at launch.

 

So if TSS-P will be standard on all 2017's and pricing will be increasing, what about the models that already have TSS-P like the one's with ATP Package?? Why the increase if your already paying for it? Just because...?

Aren't they having trouble selling these cars as is?

 

i wouldn't trust a dealer staff for any hard knowledge on current and/or future models.

 

It could be better but someone made some unfortunate decisions about the 2016 options.

A little over seven months ago with the Gen-3, you had to buy $6k of 'car bling' so you could finally add $2k of ATP. It was that way from April 2009 until December 2015.

Hence why the three with ATP is probably the best deal going... You don't have to spend 4-5k more for a four with ATP or to get a touring with partial ATP goodies if you don't need the softex and the couple other minor upgrades.

Plus you get a spare tire and an even folding hatch (better for camping) unlike the four and 4T with the 3" ridge.

 

Actually Toyota charged over 4K for ATP.
Edit: Whats the difference between TSS-P and TSS-C?
I'm impressed with the Sienna's new powertrain. I wonder what the new 0-60 time is. It's missing TSS-P though.

 

That's sort of where I am too. I wanted the goodies but started feeling bad about the huge price to get them. I was considering the three touring to get the spare and even load floor. I may just wait and see what's new. A good deal can always be found. Of course my trade in will sink in value... so what. I want to get what I want, not what they'll sell me.

 

Here the article about exchange rates:
Toyota profit slumps amid stronger yen

There was 120 Y/$ this year down to 102 Y/$ next year so wow. 105Y/$ was expected, so it sounds like they are passing thru the 105/102 = 3% = $600 on a $20000 vehicle.

 

This is really smart of Toyota. I think a lot of people move up to the Four with ATP just for the safety features. They're making the Prius an even better value. This will probably mean a reduced price for the ATP or no ATP at all?
