If you're searching for a 2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring Hatchback for sale in San Diego, CA, this black beauty at Siry Motors San Diego deserves a serious look. Priced at just $13,999 with a stock number of 51819600, this fuel-sipping hybrid offers exceptional value for Southern California drivers who want to spend less time at the pump and more time enjoying the road.

About This 2016 Toyota Prius Four Touring

At 140,296 miles, this Prius is well into its second chapter — and that's not a concern, it's a testament. Toyota Prius vehicles are legendary for longevity, routinely surpassing 200,000 and even 300,000 miles with proper maintenance. The Four Touring is the top trim level of the fourth-generation Prius lineup, meaning this isn't a base model — it was equipped from the factory with premium features designed for comfort and long-distance driving. The black exterior gives it a sharp, understated look that fits right in across San Diego's coastal and urban neighborhoods alike.

For a buyer who commutes daily through San Diego traffic — whether you're heading downtown, crossing into Chula Vista, or making the run up to Kearny Mesa or Miramar — this Prius makes financial sense from day one.

2016 Toyota Prius Performance and Engine

The 2016 Prius is powered by a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder hybrid engine paired with Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive system and a continuously variable transmission (CVT). This powertrain delivers a combined output of around 121 horsepower and is engineered for efficiency above all else.

In real-world driving, expect EPA-estimated fuel economy in the neighborhood of 52 city / 48 highway MPG — figures that make San Diego's notoriously stop-and-go freeway traffic feel much less painful on your wallet. The front-wheel-drive layout keeps the car predictable and easy to handle, whether you're navigating the 5, the 15, or the winding streets near Mission Hills or North Park. The CVT is smooth and responsive, making the Prius effortless to drive in both city and freeway conditions.

Toyota Prius Four Touring Features and Interior

The Four Touring trim sits at the top of the 2016 Prius range and comes loaded with features that set it apart from lower trims like the Two or Three. Expect a premium JBL audio system, a larger 11.6-inch touchscreen infotainment display, Toyota Entune with App Suite, Bluetooth connectivity, and a navigation system built in. The interior also features SofTex synthetic leather seating, heated front seats, and a power moonroof — making everyday drives feel genuinely premium.

Safety technology on the Four Touring includes Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), which bundles pre-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane departure alert, and automatic high beams — advanced features that were far ahead of the curve in 2016. The interior is thoughtfully designed with ample cargo space in the hatchback configuration, practical for everything from grocery runs in Point Loma to weekend trips down to Coronado or out to Julian.

Toyota Prius Reliability and Ownership

Few vehicles have earned the kind of trust the Toyota Prius has among long-term owners. Consumer Reports has consistently ranked the Prius among the most reliable vehicles on the market, and the hybrid battery — often the biggest concern for used Prius buyers — is covered under Toyota's original warranty for 100,000 miles in California (and many California Prius batteries have outlasted even that).

The fourth-generation Prius (2016 and newer) improved significantly over its predecessor in ride quality, handling, and interior refinement. Owners frequently report low maintenance costs thanks to regenerative braking, which reduces brake pad wear considerably. Common ownership costs are minimal compared to conventional vehicles — oil changes, tire rotations, and the occasional 12-volt battery replacement are about as dramatic as it gets for most high-mileage Prius owners. At 140,000 miles, with routine care, this car still has a lot of life to give.

How many miles is too many for a used Toyota Prius?

With a well-maintained Prius, 140,000 miles is not a dealbreaker. Many Prius vehicles regularly reach 200,000 to 300,000 miles. The key is service history and battery health — Toyota hybrid batteries in California are notably durable due to the mild climate and California emissions standards.

What kind of gas mileage does a 2016 Toyota Prius get?

The 2016 Toyota Prius achieves an EPA-estimated 52 MPG city and 48 MPG highway — making it one of the most fuel-efficient non-plug-in vehicles available. In San Diego's urban driving conditions, real-world MPG often matches or exceeds the city estimate.
 

Does the 2016 Toyota Prius have Apple CarPlay?

The 2016 Prius predates factory Apple CarPlay integration, but the Toyota Entune system with App Suite supports compatible smartphone apps via Bluetooth and the touchscreen interface. Many owners add an aftermarket solution for full smartphone mirroring.
