How it compares
Against the average midsize station wagons in this dataset (about 25 MPG), the Prius v sits roughly 16 MPG above that mark on average, making it a relatively efficient choice for its class.
Five-year fuel cost
Fuelling a Prius v for five years at the EPA's 15,000-mile basis costs roughly $8,000 to $8,000, averaging about $8,000 across the versions here. That is the energy bill alone — it excludes insurance, maintenance and depreciation, which for most owners together exceed what goes into the tank.
How it changed over time
Between 2016 and 2017 the Prius v's average combined economy improved from about 41 to 41 MPG. Redesigns, new engines and added hybrid or electric versions are usually what move the number, so the year you choose can matter as much as the model.
Best year for fuel economy
The 2017 Prius v has the strongest average combined economy in this database at about 41 MPG, while the 2016 is the lowest at about 41 MPG. If running cost is your priority, that is the year to target on the used market; later years may add equipment or safety features instead.
