Thanks for watching!
Never in a million years have I thought I wanted a prius, but now? You better believe I want this thing.
same here. holy.
I like it but I think the name Prius has a bad reputation for being an ugly boring car. They could have given it a different name
Took you a while 🤡
I still don't want one, but I can't argue the fuel economy be wild 😭
Good RUclipsr salesmen can sell anything - even a Prius 😀.
After Toyota proved they could make an AWD hybrid Rav4 that gets to 60 in under 8 seconds and can get 40MPG, there was no reason for the Prius to be as slow as it was. This is finally a no-compromises Prius.
100% agree, the camry was doing the same mpg in le form, for the same money.
Rav4 prime did it in 5.6 seconds lol
Why not just get a Honda Civic SI and still get 40mpg .____. After seeing how efficient and fun a Civic SI can be I dont think I can ever go back to a Hybrid, not even this one. The average from multiple reviews has been 44mpg or so. Barely more than an SI with less power and less fun. Makes no sense.
@@TheWhisperingPenis Because a Civic SI is tiny compared to a Rav4 Hybrid, a SI is manual only, not everyone cares to "have fun" with their car but rather simply to get from Point A to Point B in comfort. You're comparing completely different types of cars.
Why get a Honda Civic SI when you can have a Tesla Model 3, it does everything better than a SI and is fun and more efficient, I don't think I can ever go back to a manual gas car....etc.
Faster 0-60 than the Integra
new civic hybrid is faster 0-60
check carwow review
@@Moonlight-hq3gi they don’t get the civic hybrid in the states, I don’t think…
@@Moonlight-hq3gi not the prime pruis
Rav 4 Prime 0-60 faster🤣
@@Newyen6MT 😂😂 prime rav4 flip over when you accelerate hard at corner
The more I look at the interior the more I actually like its simplicity. So many new cars are so busy and complicated and this has what you need, and nothing more. Having the display up high like that actually makes it usable and safer, you don't have to look down and take your eyes so far off the road.
The styling is actually really cool for a Prius and a modern Toyota. I think the best next move should be a mini pickup like the Maverick. I'd probably honestly take that over a Maverick.
All the Hyundais are like that, all busy and complicated.
@@Pepe-dq2ib even on the outside. The front ends of the new Hyundai have way too much going on. It's like a clash of too many design elements.
@@SerPurple51 the kids love it though. I think they got shit taste, but it's just my opinion.
i was just saying that to my wife. and it has knobs! dont need to look to adjust the audio or heat!!!
TBH, I really liked the old interior as well, you even see more of the road ahead and behind you + if you had a HUD, you did not have to get eyes off the road (no HUD option for the new one).
I can't wait to get my hands on PHV 2023 variant, but I feel it will be more of a sidegrade in a lot of aspects - bit bigger boot, more power, a bit more range, a ton more tire noise with 19" compared to older 15", higher power consumption for electric part etc.
I am really curious to see the new PHV, because even if Prius HEV looks really nice, it will pretty much live in the shadow of Corolla and Civic, that have pretty much the same power, same consumption, but are cheaper. Likewise, I am not even surprise Toyota won't sell Prius HEV in Europe, does not really make a sense, sales would be pretty abysmal.
The Prius has always been a well-engineered and highly durable vehicle, but now it has looks and power! I'm constantly searching for a reason to get rid of my 2012 Prius but it refuses to give me one. Didn't even have to get new brake pads until over 100k. Such a reliable and cost effective vehicle, probably the best engineered that Toyota sells in our market. Only gripe with mine is the seats aren't comfy enough for long trips.
The 2nd Gen is great too
Give your old prius to me
I’m gonna replace my dying 2007 Prius with this - that said 16 years is damn good, was well worth the money.
I would take care of your 2012 Prius
That’s reliability right there!
I’m glad manufacturing have woken up to the fact that exterior styling is important
Wow, this is extremely impressive. 198HP and AWD, with a very stylized body. Toyota finally made the prius a nice vehicle.
Hell yeah! I never thought I would actually consider getting one 😂
... I like it. Not something I'd expect to say about a Prius.
Might be a weird thing to point out, but I found it so damn satisfying seeing you knock your shoes together before getting into the vehicle. I do the exact same thing. Lol
Also, never thought I'd say this... but... this new Prius is actually pretty cool.
Yup, I do it too I learned it from him a few years ago
I learned the ritual from him too. We’re basically grown into a little cult now😂
@@RealNameNeverUsed Welcome to the family 👪
AmmoNYC taught millions to knock your shoes before entering!
5:55 Might not want to get dust in the new prius I see.
This has to be the best car out there all things considered. Good price, nice looks, beautiful interior, good driving dynamics, extremely efficient, AWD, spacious, and bomb-proof reliability.
Amazing. It has all what he should have. MPG, appearance, power, functionality, all perfect. I would say that it is the best car launched by Toyota in 2023.
Chris, I want to see this excellent new drivetrain and suspension in a new Prius V. The 16 mpg penalty that comes with the Corolla Cross Hybrid is massive .
Or Toyota could bring the Corolla hybrid wagon to the US.
Can you please explain to a german man what you mean by 16 mpg penality?
@@stayphun6188 Im guessing you get 16 less MPG than the Prius
@@stevep4236 oh, that makes sense. Thanks
@@stayphun6188 54 miles per US gallon for the Prius with AWD vs 38 for the Corolla Cross or 4.36 litres per 100 km vs 6.19 😁
Toyota hit it out of the park with the exterior design of this car. It is very, very good looking.
I hate to admit this, but this is how the Prius should have been from the beginning. Toyota is taking that "no more boring cars" statement to heart, which is awesome to see.
Dude, you are the best. Love how you focus on the things that matter and not on the glitz and glamour. Such as wheel size, 17" are better for road comfort and tire availability. No other reviews are this practical. Thank you!
Exactly, he tells us what we need to know without all the PR hype.
Alex on autos is also worth a look.
@@joshua9073 yup, he is good 👍
Can't wait to be on the 5 year waiting list to get one of these
No joke. Here I am a year later, finding one on the lot that's not marked up 2-6K is proving to be basically impossible, and getting on a waitlist for one is measured in multiple months.
It's so funny how I've never wanted a Prius, but now I'm actually very seriously wanting to buy one.
I bought one.
@@jackrose5077Hey congrats 🎉👏🏼👏🏼 How's it going?
You sound handsome. Prove me wrong.
🧟♂️
Its a damn shame they stopped selling Prius in Australia with this generation! They finally made a desireable one :(
Get ready for 4-5 figure mark-ups. Toyota only expects to sell around 35K annually, which is only slightly more than the outgoing model sold in 2021. My guess is that they won't produce a lot of them, creating a "shortage." Stealerships will take advantage of that.
I hope they are smart enough to adjust the production line based on demand. The Toyota Crown will not sell in my opinion so they can cut production of that and ramp up production on this. Even the "Bore-olla" should lose sales to the new Prius and if that happens I would like to see them cut production on the Corolla Hybrid as well.
Fortunately I've been on a list for a Camry Hybrid XSE for almost a year that the dealers haven't been able to provide so I think that moves me near the top of the list for any Prius. Hell I asked to get on that list before my dealer realized there was a new Prius coming.
@@TomTom-gn9mp Yeah I don't see the point of a Corolla hybrid when this is available.
Now this is what I call Prius envy.
Man I love your car reviews...A+ style
I am bouncing back and forth between the AWD and the Prime. Thanks for the drive around time. The sound was excellent in the video as well.
owned a Prius prime. It is only worth it if you drive over 100 miles round trip per day to work because the Prius gets good MPG as is. You have to factor in what you are saving in gas price vrs the extra money for prime
Great review as always. I find it interesting how you and TH have completely different opinions on the audio system.
Who is TH?
Toyota messed up by copying Peugeot interior style but not doing it correctly. You can't have the instruments above the steering wheel if the steering wheel is positioned like in a normal car, and is the normal size. The steering has to be smaller and has to be cut off on top, or flattened at least. This is just idiotically bad design as it will obstruct the view for 90% of people and limits your driving position. A mistake so bad it will cost Toyota a lot as it will be a deal breaker on an otherwise almost perfect car.
“Thirty grand out the door” 🤣🤣🤣 yeah okay
This car has come a LONG way. The earliest designs looked so... ugly to put it bluntly. This thing actually looks really sleek. And it has more horsepower than a 2023 Civic Sport!
I've looked at about 20 new 2023 Prius reviews and this is by far the best I've seen. I put money down on one this week and now waiting 4 to 6 months (at least) for delivery. I was able to find an LE AWD at MSRP.
My dealer also told me 4 to 6 months for delivery and then called two weeks later and told me they had the allotment for my car and it was being built. I should have it in two months.
How do you like it?
I like the design, the interior looks functional and unpretentious, the exterior looks sporty but not to aggressive, a great daily drive.
Toyota is still delivering quality.
Me: "It doesn't beep obnoxiously when it goes in reverse! That's a good enough reason to buy the new one!"
Yeah but now it has Lane keep and other intrusive "safety" features right?
@@RennieAsh Sure, but at least you could disable the stuff... maybe... right...? Lol
I’d take it over a Tesla - half the price and will run for three times the life, probably more. Wouldn’t take it over my F150… but if I commuted to work (I walk), the Prius would make a ton of sense, and looks good now too.
I traded my 2018 f150 KR for a silver one of these. I spent almost 1k a month in gas in the truck vs the $280 (I drive a lot for work) in this. I don't miss my truck one bit.
Limited AWD Starting MSRP: $35,865, sounds very reasonable too.
Markups of 10k dont forget
I guess hell just froze over. I would actually consider this car. It looks like a car finally. I would not be embarrassed to park one in my driveway.
Nice job Toyota.
Spoke to a dealer here in CA and they said they are gonna markup 10-12k. That ruined this for me.
Thought this one had more than 196hp?
I would get this car to save money, but giving away 10k to a dealer seems like idiocy to me. Feels like interest rates are still too low.
You hands down have the best 2023 Prius review video ever you’re awesome 👏🏼
jesus christ. I have very good headphones for accurate(not software) surround sound and when that train went by it scared the shit out of me I had to turn around and look behind me like wtf.
Thats a good mic with that camera let me tell ya.
It looks like there is room in there to fit a standard 205/60/16 winter wheel and tire setup. An extra 5mm should clear the suspension just fine since manufacturers don't cut it that close by default anyways and its not like the prius has huge brakes.
Fastback, AWD, sips gas, rear seats fold flat, nearly 200 HP, looks good…Well, that’s my pick.
Happy to see that Toyota put a telescoping steering wheel into this car... I've driven some other Toyota models where the steering wheel was way too far forward for my liking, effectively making it feel like I had to reach, or move my seat so far forward it felt awkward - the Yaris and Corolla were horrible for this.
The more videos of this car I watch, the more convinced I am that this is the best choice for a new DD. 2023 Civic Sport Touring was high on the list... but the longevity of a small displacement, turbocharged engine made me concerned. Can't wait till these hit dealers so I can check one out!
Those honda engines are incredibly reliable, the presence of a turbo/forced induction does not equal worse reliability unless it's aftermarket. The engine was designed to function with the turbo
@@ralkia - NOT TRUE, the Civic 1.5 turbo is a shiit engine
What decade have you last drive a car that have non telescopic steering. The last time i drove a car without telescopic steering was back in early 2000
@@ralkia You really cannot make that sort of declaration, considering the engine has only been on the market for just under 6 years, and is still suffering from the well known oil dilution problem.
Also, for some anecdotal evidence about how factory turbocharged vehicles last in the long term, all I have to do is to look at my friend's Chevy Cruze with the 1.4T. It's nine years old and has had the turbo fail three times. All the failures happened in the past few years... only has 180,000km (~112,000 miles). Each time, parts alone were close to $1000 CAD.
TLDR; Turbocharged vehicles are more complex, therefore there is more to go wrong in the long term. Whether or not it is an OEM or aftermarket setup has nothing to do with it.
@@phunk8607 It was only a few years ago... mind you, they were all airport rentals. Maybe that's why.
Car look and seems to drive amazing.. I have an 08.. it went 423,000 miles..
I do sorta wish they had offered an ECO trim.. I might be willing to sacrifice some power for better MPG.. I drive 800+ miles per week. 65+MPG.. would been nice.. and I would make that trade for the same power as last model.. or somewhere in the middle.
Overall though... this is a really nice car.
Prius always feel fastger than the 0-60 number would indicate.. especially 0-30 or so.. IF you know how to drive it.
SO many Prius drivers...are SO SLOW.. they try and stay in EV mode..
Its NOT the way to drive it...
Put your foot in the gas.. about half way.. accelerate briskly to the speed you want and coast..
I have an 08 too, but the U.K. top of the range version. Will do EV mode up to 40 mph! My mpg record was 69.4 mpg last summer, commuting in London UK. Also stretched the same 45 litre tank of fuel to 653 miles.
Unfortunately, this latest version of my beloved Prius will not be sold in the U.K. 😢
@@datathunderstorm
Nice, keep in mind the British gallon is 20% larger than the US's. But I think your mile is the same so that's a pretty impressive amount of miles per tank regardless.
They're not going to sell the 5th generation Prius in the UK? That seems kind of crazy.
Is it some government push for electric only on new vehicles?
I don't get it. I think the interior looks so ugly. Why is everyone hyping this thing up?
it looks like an airplane cockpit inside
I've had a lot of Prius from traveling and renting cars. It's amazing how long a tank of gas lasts with city driving. Hybrid is the way to go.
Wow! The God Car.🧜♀️👩🤩💝🥰🥰🙋♀️
Wow they definitely definitely redeemed themselves because the last gen was hideous 🤮. This gen omg I absolutely am in love & the power with great fuel economy & AWD is a winner. The looks are so so so amazing
you can get a 2023 Sonata Hybrid that has WAY more features than this and (IMO) a better interior. 360 camera, more ambient lighting, regular digital gauge cluster with HUD, blind spot cameras.
would buy this over a tesla
"Doesn't carry over much of the design language of other Toyota models"
The front end is literally a clone of the Corolla
Nice to see Brian Griffin's car get an updated version.
Everything is inflated. A priest for 35k. How much will they sell next generation camry
A pope for $75k
I wonder if they relocated the catalytic converters to deter criminals...
It doesn't have one.
@@TomTom-gn9mp How? It is still a gasoline-based vehicle. The previous Prius hybrids were getting hit up by these thieves.
Start of the Video with the Walk-Around looks like GTA 5 with high-res Textures :D
I like this '23 very much. I also agree...there is no reason to put 19" rims on that or any Prius. Why compromise comfort and efficiency for that size, or purchase price down the road when they need to be replaced. Not logical.
Yeah I'd rather have 17s but what are you going to do. Maybe sell the wheels when it's time to replace the tires at 60k miles.
I love the new redesign Prius and the interior looks great along with the exterior of the vehicle. Can’t wait to purchase one.😊
Somebody help me understand why people seem so disappointed about the reduced cargo space in the upper trims. Why do you need a bigger cargo space? Is 20 cu. ft. not enough? But aren't you worried at all about the fuel efficiency? Also, don’t you all like the premium interior options available to you now?
I think, because the upper trims put in more premium equipment, Toyota probably reduced the cargo space to offset the additional weight and thereby save the fuel efficiency. If you want a car that allows you to put more stuff/people in, shouldn't you be getting something else other than Prius? Smaller cargo space seems all logical, but wanting a cargo space just as big makes me think people are unrealistically wanting something too good to be true.
Definitely would like one but just like the Rav4 and Highlander, there will be a stupid $4-$5k dealer mark up and you will be on a 3-6 month waitlist in the US. 12 or more if you are in Canada.
Thanks for the video. Wow. This car looks so beautiful and stylish.
In April, May, 2023 - what's the out the door price on the Prius LE. Can someone share?
Thank you.
Love everything but the steering wheel. Very clunky looking. Also not happy with the low profile 19" wheels. 18" would have been perfect. Better mpg, smoother ride, and more resistance to pot hole damage.
The sidewall isn’t that thin. They’re 19/50/195 tires. Note that middle number.
Toyota's hybrid tech has come a long way.
How dumb these 4-way stop intersections are.
As a european I can't stand watching you drive through them xd
Me when I was 12: I want an LFA!!
Me at 24: I want a Prius..
Life comes at you fast 😂
I wanted a 2002 Prius when I was 16. Now I have one...
That low speed noise is so obnoxious, how does that not annoy everyone who tries to drive this car? I get that the noise helps pedestrians but couldnt they like, I dont know, isolate the noise so that you cant hear it inside the car? Maybe it doesnt sound so awful in person but I was constantly distracted when watching this video.
My favorite hybrid sedan!! Terrific job bro.
Had my buddy in sales put me on the list for the Prime as soon as I saw it. Can't wait to get one.
Thanks to my job as a Toyota tech I've had lots of experience with these things. They finally got rid of most of the things I didn't like lmao
I had that special tire size situation, where they cost 50% more than common tires, with my little Subaru Justy which cost around $7,300 in 1990 and was a popular car and one of the cheapest but most highly rated sub-compacts at the time. But if I had the over $30,000 to spend on a car that the baseline model 2023 Prius costs, I might consider it anyway, because it is otherwise so good looking and well built, probably. It's funny how much I liked stylish cars as a kid, but when I learned to drive myself, because i learned on my mother's VW Beetle, I got used to small, cheap, efficient cars and the idea of style, well, that's for people with more money.
I love so much about this car. Just a bummer that the rear headroom and cargo capacity is reduced. The previous model was surprisingly roomy and that was always fun to work with.
i test drove it and the entire car was a blind spot. so uncomfy driving it. it was what i came in wanting! i got the camry :))
Toyota needs to make a Prius Crossover and Suv. It makes me want to get one
That fake engine sound is nauseating as f... someone should make it illegal to force fake sounds upon silent vehicles.
I don't get the steering wheel "issue". I drive a Prius c and in that car you also look over the steering wheel. I'm 5'8" and the cluster is not even close to the wheel.
And it's not like you don't have the same issue with cluster that you have to look through the wheel to see
Just now realizing you can’t option the JBL on lower trims like with other Toyota models :( I couldn’t justify a Limited just for speakers if the stock setup is as good as you say. I’m sure future Crutchfield speaker upgrades would bridge the gap even more.
The limited also gets vented seats which are real nice when you've got them. My car has vented seats now, and any day the temp is over 70 I use them.
@Phillip Banes Don't hate it till you try. Good heated seats will keep you warm before the vehicle can warm, and it feels pretty nice on your back after a hard day at work, or after a workout. If you paid for leather, might as well get the ass coolers with it. These are features that have been in luxury cars and trims for decades now. lol
@@aluisious
My ass ventilates itself by my farts
I never needed vented seats
Just use heated seats as I live in northern snow region.
I'd get this if it was a $25K throw away daily driver. Over $30K is way too much. Even the cheapest one will be over $30K with the dealer markup.
Awesome powertrain and interior for the price, exterior styling is fantastic... man Toyota nailed this new generation. I might be picking one of these up used in a few years, wow!
Me too, if I can get hold of one as they wont sell this model in Sweden. Weird.
The fact that the Prius is no longer a slow car absolutely blows my mind. It's not sports car but 0-60 MPH in 7 seconds isn't bad.
@@ivar-the-terrible 7 sec to 9.5 sec 0-60 is a huge difference lol. 4.0 sec is FAST and 6.5 sec is meh for reference
@@Defy_Convention 4s ain't even that quick anymore with all these EVs that hit near supercar times for roughly the same money.
@@DragonKnightX12 Naa even 5 seconds flat is considered fast, 4 seconds is very fast, 3 seconds and under is supercar territory
All those Toyota buzzers, chimes, noise makers, etc.
Great video. I'm loving your channel man. You get right to the driving and mention good details.
for a moment, the back slant down looks like a model 3.
Is this car well insulated?
$37k? why is it so expensive? it's RAV4 territory
That's also full on EV territory
Everyone’s testing the top model and not the base
Agreed! I cannot find one review test drive of the LE! Why??
bc nobody gives a shit about cheaper lowered end model. Cry more.
Tends to happen. Sometimes it's not the best as they tend to come with bigger wheels and more road noise , or maybe you don't need the AWD etc
Should I trade my Mach e standard range for this? 😮
Can’t wait for the Prius prime and your review and Always appreciate your audio review .
Already having dealerships marking these up. One dealership in the Dallas area quoted me for a Limited fwd on a 10k markup. SMH. It’s best to look around. Not all dealerships are crooked.
this is the 2023 ive been waiting for . way better than all the 4 years previous models.
Weird to see everyone crap on the new Accord, but love this thing. The Accord Touring costs very nearly what this thing costs, and is way more upscale.
This looks much better, gets better MPG, and has faster 0-60
Does anyone else notice the engine sounding very loud when idling? 5:39
It seems like yesterday when you could buy a nice compact economy car for $20,000
Yeah of course when I finally start making enough money to afford the 20k car they’re all 40 now smfh.
@@justinthematrix My last car was a 2015 that I paid just under $19,000 for and it was well equipted. Now I need to replace it with a car that's almost double that price.
@@TomTom-gn9mp need to? I bought a car in 2015 that's 10 years older than that and it's still fine ;)
I want a Prius. I never thought I would say those words.
the 'Light Gray' interior looks a lot better than the dark interior. IMO. gives it that extra modern and expensive feel inside it.
I know everyone wants power and speed. But why not go to a 1.6 or 1.4 and try to get the MPG up to 70 or 75
My '02 has a 1.5, it was not suited to increased highway speed limits, the 1.8 upgrade in the 3rd-gen IMPROVED highway mpg because it didn't have to scream its guts out to do 70-80 mph.
That exact model you're driving is 30 grand? Are you sure. If true I'm buying it!!
I'm still waiting for the day they make a CUV version of the Prius called the Prius X and it gets low 50's mpg and actually takes most design cues directly from the Prius interior and exterior. I just don't jive with the RAV-4.
A Prius Hybrid that looks like a 4 door Ferrari on the outside and handles effortlessly like a sports car on the inside.
Unfortunately, Toyota are not selling this in the U.K. … and THIS was the ultimate Prius I was waiting for…!!!
😢😢😢😭😪
Where are you? It almost looks like San Francisco. Beautiful view wherever you are. Nice car too.
37000$ for prius Really toyota
That extra power now means the Prime is claimed to hit 60 mph from a stop in just 6.6 seconds. This is no slouch of a figure, especially when you consider we measured the old Prime's 0-60 time at 10.0 seconds.😍
I envy Americans. This model has not been distributed in Japan yet.
the cabin noise is pretty loud
Going to have to trade in my 22’ night shade Prius for this beauty ❤
Just hope they are not ridiculously marked up when they are finally available.
They definitely will be lmao
Some dealers will sell for MSRP. You just may have to order it and wait for it to arrive.
Im a senior and wondering how low to the ground this may be for getting in and out of the vehicle, we currently have suv's which is so easy, we do have a Prius on order, but do not have to take it if it is was to difficult for entry and geting out, it does look very low..
Ease of entry and exit was better than I expected on this car. (I paid attention to that, having the same concern.) While it obviously won't be as easy as entering/exiting your SUV, the driver side seat (at least on XLE) can be raised to higher position, which can further help with entry and exit. (I passed on this car due to feeling too close to the ceiling and sloped windshield. Lowering my seat helped, but that reduced my visibility over the dash and protruding infotainment screen, which also made me uncomfortable.) You never know without checking it out for yourself, so it's good you got on the list. (Be sure to test moving the sun visor to side position. I had to move my head out of the way! My head is neither big nor was I sitting too close to steering wheel. 😂) Good luck!
@@kerryh.5419 Thanks for the reply...will look forward to checking out all these points...we may shift our attention to a SUV Hybrid..
I drove a Gen 2 Prius in Hawaii in TORRENTIAL RAINS constantly so trust me guys you do not need AWD in California. Lol
Nice dodge dart bro!
