Toyota Prius Owners Club
The car that started mass-market hybrids. “2015–” on older hub cards compressed two different cars — Gen4 conventional hybrid (first Toyota on TNGA-C) and Gen5’s coupe-like redesign with a Prime PHEV up to around 60 miles EV. Gen3 (2009–2015) still dominates used/taxi stock with a major thermal/transistor recall. This is the UK club entry for Prius owners who want that history attached to the car when they sell.
Deep generation themes, recall notes and the Hybrid Health Check path live on the Prius hub; this page is the club SERP entry. Cross-link Corolla and C-HR for shared TNGA-C context.
Who's this for?
Gen4 / Gen5 owners
Log which generation you actually have — Gen4 windshield/handbrake themes vs Gen5 12V drain and rear-door recall are not interchangeable.
Gen3 / high-mileage buyers
Confirm the 2010–2014 thermal/transistor recall, proper hybrid battery health (~150k miles pattern), oil consumption and 2010–2013 head gasket history before relying on the nameplate reputation.
Sellers
Generation identity, recall completion, HHC certificates and battery/12V tests are what researched hybrid buyers ask for.
