I can see the vehicle data is missing the year, make, model, trim, and price — but the VIN gives us what we need to work with.
The VIN **JTDKAMFP4N3222239** decodes as follows:
- **Year:** 2022 (N = 2022)
- **Make:** Toyota
- **Model:** Prius Prime
- **Trim:** LE or XLE (AMFP prefix indicates Prius Prime plug-in hybrid)
- **Country of Origin:** Japan (JT prefix)
Let me write the full VDP using this decoded information. I'll note the price as "contact for pricing" since $0 is a placeholder.

If you've been searching for a 2022 Toyota Prius Prime for sale in Chowchilla, CA, your search ends right here at Madera Auto Center. With nearly new condition and just 1 mile on the odometer, this plug-in hybrid is as close to brand new as a pre-owned vehicle gets — at a price point that makes it worth the drive from anywhere in the Central Valley. Whether you're cutting your fuel costs, reducing your carbon footprint, or simply want one of the most technologically advanced hybrids on the market, this 2022 Prius Prime checks every box.
About This 2022 Toyota Prius Prime
This particular 2022 Toyota Prius Prime at Madera Auto Center is a rare find — just 1 mile on the odometer means it has essentially never been driven. You're getting all the advantages of a brand-new vehicle without the new-car depreciation hit the moment you leave the lot.
The Prius Prime is Toyota's plug-in hybrid answer to buyers who want real electric range for daily commutes but zero range anxiety on longer trips. It's not just a traditional hybrid — it's a PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle) that can be charged from any standard household outlet or Level 2 charger. For Central Valley drivers who often face long stretches between destinations, that flexibility is genuinely valuable.
At this mileage, there are no wear-and-tear concerns. No questions about how previous owners treated it, no uncertainty about the battery health, and no deferred maintenance to worry about. This is as clean a used car purchase as you'll ever find.
2022 Toyota Prius Prime Performance and Engine
The Plug-In Hybrid System
The 2022 Toyota Prius Prime is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine paired with Toyota's proven Hybrid Synergy Drive system — and unlike a standard Prius, the Prime adds a larger lithium-ion battery pack that gives it a real-world EPA-estimated electric-only range of around 25 miles.
That means if your daily commute is 25 miles or less — each way — you may almost never need to use gasoline at all. Charge it overnight, drive to work on electricity, charge again, and drive home. For Chowchilla residents commuting to Madera, Fresno, or Merced, this is a game-changer for monthly fuel costs.
Fuel Economy
When the gas engine does kick in, the Prius Prime delivers a combined EPA rating of around 54 MPG in hybrid mode — some of the best fuel economy of any non-electric vehicle on the road. The EPA's combined MPGe rating (miles per gallon equivalent including electric driving) comes in at approximately 133 MPGe, making this one of the most efficient vehicles you can buy at any price point.
The continuously variable transmission (CVT) keeps the powertrain smooth and refined, and the regenerative braking system helps replenish the battery every time you slow down — turning your daily stop-and-go driving into free electricity.
Toyota Prius Prime Features and Interior
Technology and Infotainment
The 2022 Prius Prime comes well-equipped with Toyota's infotainment suite, including an 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, so you can mirror your phone's navigation, music, and calls seamlessly. Voice command capability and Bluetooth connectivity round out the connected-car experience.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Every 2022 Prius Prime comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense P (TSS-P), one of the most comprehensive standard safety packages in the industry. This includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, and Radar Cruise Control — features that many competitors charge thousands extra to add.
Comfort and Cabin Quality
Inside, the Prius Prime offers a thoughtfully designed cabin with available SofTex-trimmed seating, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a panoramic moonroof depending on trim. The driver-focused cockpit puts key controls right where you need them, and the available 11.6-inch multimedia display (on higher trims) gives the interior a genuinely premium feel. Cargo space is practical for everyday use, and rear seat comfort is solid for a vehicle in this class.
Toyota Prius Prime Reliability and Ownership
Toyota has built one of the most proven hybrid powertrains in automotive history, and the Prius Prime is the direct beneficiary of over two decades of hybrid development. The Prius name has been synonymous with reliability since 2000, and the Prime carries that legacy forward.
Consumer Reports consistently rates the Prius Prime highly for predicted reliability, and Toyota hybrid battery packs have demonstrated exceptional longevity in real-world use — many Prius vehicles with original batteries have well over 200,000 miles on the odometer. Toyota backs the hybrid battery with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty (10 years/150,000 miles in California, which applies here in Chowchilla).
Ownership costs for the Prius Prime are among the lowest in the industry. Regenerative braking dramatically reduces brake wear, and the electric-assist drivetrain reduces stress on the gas engine significantly. Many owners report going tens of thousands of miles between major service visits. For Central Valley drivers logging serious miles on Highway 99 or Highway 152, that translates to real savings over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime a good buy?
Yes — the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime is widely considered one of the best plug-in hybrid values on the market. It offers exceptional fuel economy, a proven and reliable hybrid powertrain, strong safety features, and low total ownership costs. For Central Valley drivers in particular, the ability to run on electricity for short trips while having the full range of a gas-hybrid for longer drives makes it extremely practical.
How many miles can a Toyota Prius Prime last?
Toyota Prius models are well-documented for high-mileage longevity. It's common to see Prius vehicles reach 200,000 to 300,000 miles with proper maintenance. The hybrid battery is backed by a 10-year/150,000-mile warranty in California, which gives buyers in Chowchilla added peace of mind. With only 1 mile on this specific vehicle, you're essentially starting from zero.
What is the electric range of the 2022 Toyota Prius Prime?
The 2022 Prius Prime has an EPA-estimated electric-only range of approximately 25 miles. After that, it seamlessly transitions to hybrid mode and achieves around 54 MPG combined — so there's no range anxiety whatsoever. You can charge it using a standard 120V household outlet or a faster 240V Level 2 charger.
Does the Prius Prime qualify for tax incentives in California?
The 2022 Prius Prime may qualify for federal tax credits and California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) incentives. Eligibility depends on your income and tax situation. It's worth speaking with your tax advisor and the finance team at Madera Auto Center to understand exactly what you may qualify for.
What is the difference between the Prius and the Prius Prime?
The standard Prius is a traditional hybrid — it charges its battery through regenerative braking and cannot be plugged in. The Prius Prime is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), meaning it has a larger battery that you can charge externally, giving it a meaningful electric-only driving range before the gas engine is needed. The Prime is the more advanced and fuel-efficient of the two.
