A quick note, the B mode is for braking when going downhill and not for generating extra energy during regular driving. That part of the video is very misleading.
I’ve had one of these for the last 7 years and put 300,000km on it in that time. The reliability of these cars is incredible. Other than brake pads and a couple of wheel bearings it’s been absolutely bulletproof
On the Prius plus there is no fan or filter for the hybrid battery. As for fuel consumption it really depends on how you drive it. My commute to work is a 115km round trip consisting of mainly flat straight roads averaging 60-80km/h and I can get around 1000km per tank of fuel (45l capacity tank) averaging 4.0l/100km or 70mpg (59 US mpg) If you drive in places you can utilise the battery more effectively the better the consumption will be. It’s not a great motorway car and gets noisy and thirsty at higher speeds. My only regret with this car is not buying the premium model, other than that it’s probably the best car I’ve had.
@@mattbolton2929 thanks for the info.i would like to buy one Prius +.my average driving will be approximately 65percentage in the town and the rest 35 will be on the motorway.i really. Belive i no need a diesel or a petrol car.
Thanks for a detailed and interesting review; I never quite knew how to use the braking mode, but you’ve explained it brilliantly-I will certainly try it! I find the third row seat is plenty big enough for adults who aren’t ten foot tall. My family have enjoyed many happy trips in a Prius Plus. Also, I didn’t realise that a handy way to put luggage in the boot is to lift up the floor flap and sit it upright!👍 I really love my Prius Plus and even managed to get 95 mpg out of it! I still regularly get 77-85+ in daily use. The extremely low drag coefficient certainly has a role in its stunning fuel economy. Shame that the pano roof and head up were phased out of the later models.
You can have one between 220-300 000km under 13 000€ now. Pretty sweet deal when looking car for family of 5, occasionaly needing 6-7 seats and want low TCO. Model X starts from 50 000€ still.
If it not a nickel battery won’t buy it, lithium battery are turning to be to dangerous. They yes charge faster making them to get hotter and a fire hazard. Thank you for the Video 👍

Providing you regularly service them like oil change and clean the hybrid fan filter.
Hi.what is the fuel consumption?

Dacia Jogger new 24K, depending on tax. It's also big.
Interesting video but I have to watch it on mute and read the subtitles because the clarkson type speech delivery gives me a headache

Glad you enjoyed it
Do anyone know how many isofix there are in that model? 3 or 2? Tks
Only two, on the left&right seat
Really nice and reliable cars, they use them a lot in Paris as Taxis!
Great car, but not further developped the last 10 years. Toyota will loose the future ev competition.
@@traudesuppanToyota indirectly revealed that they aren't interested and cautioned on EV
Best car ever made!
Why is it 12th plate ?
Looks like title wrong
I love my Prius
