The Lexus CT200h is predicted to be 73 percent more reliable than the average car, while the Lexus ES 300h is expected to be 71 above average. The Toyota models arenât far behind. The Prius c and Toyota Camry Hybrid are pegged at 66 percent more reliable than average, and the Toyota Prius is at 46 percent. Even the bigger Prius v is rated to be 44 percent more reliable than the average car. The regular Toyota Prius was Toyotaâs least reliable hybrid car, but still sported an expected reliability rating of nine percent above average.
