How much factory warranty is left on your Prius?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Toyota Prius factory warranty
New Toyota vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 3 years or 36,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Toyota dealer.
Why body style matters
Hatchbacks are mechanically close to small sedans, with one driven axle and modest weight. That generally keeps coverage affordable, though small turbocharged engines are increasingly common.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
Plug-in hybrid system
A plug-in hybrid has the parts of a gas car and of an electric car: engine, transmission, a larger battery, an onboard charger and a charge port. Ask specifically whether the onboard charger and high-voltage components are covered.
About Toyota
Toyota's reliability record keeps extended-coverage prices among the lowest. Hybrid batteries carry their own long factory warranty, but the rest of a hybrid follows the standard 3-year and 5-year terms.
