40K is the new 20K. Once we get used to the 40K, it'll be 60K. Isn't inflation depressing?
Voting has consequences.
@@mountainhobo yeah all those PPP loans forgiven by Trump really fucked stuff up
@@bitbat9 🤦♂
@@bitbat9vote Democrat they are amazing and definitely care about you
@@theredsalmon612 i plan on it
amazing Toyota engineering ! for some reason Toyota never fails on doing a amazing job
👍🏻👍🏻 It would appear Toyota committed to continue to produce affordable, advanced quality hybrid technology. Some other legacy manufacturers are more interested in the 100k electric only destiny.
😊
I’m considering the Prius. I wanted to see your review. Thank you
Great, comprehensive overview of these terrific Toyotas. But the problem, as you pointed out, is that they are not available for purchase at MSRP. Unless Toyota can fix this major problem, hundreds of thousands of loyal North American Toyota customers will forgo their first choice and purchase a Mazda or Subaru in 2024, myself included.
I have a prius LE coming in at MSRP with only 800 port installed options and a 499 doc fee. No mark ups. Will pick up in 2 weeks.
I got my 2023 Prius at MSRP. I had to call about 4 dealerships near me until I found one that sold at MSRP
Another couple years of democrat leadership, and their will be plenty o cars available
I suppose the issue is, if you're in the hybrid market, I don't think Mazda or Subaru have the same options as Toyota or even Honda
I like the Lexus-Lite Venza.
First thing, you have to choose between a sedan or an SUV. That choice is going to eliminate half of the contestants, either way. No one who is determined to get an SUV is going to consider the sedan. These days, most people have convinced themselves that they need an SUV, whether they actually do or not. Among the SUVs, the Rav4 obviously hits the sweet spot for most buyers, because most buyers don't truly need the additional size of trhe Highlander or Grand Highlander. Instead, they simply want a roomy enough Toyota SUV hybrid that won't break the bank. The Venza is slightly quieter, with a bit more upscale interior, but the Rav4 has the far more practical interior and "tougher/more rugged" looks. The Highlander is nicer than both, and the Grand Highlander with its choice of three engines, including two hybrids, almost makes the standard Highlander irrelevant.
Among the sedans, the Camry is the clear winner. There is basically no reason to get the Prius over the Camry, unless you simply love its wedge shape, which will quickly look dated. The Camry is far roomier, quieter, smoother, faster, torquier, more comfortable, and just plain nicer, for the same or even less money. The MPGs on the base LE Camry hybrid are a claimed 51 in the city and 53 on the highway, but but every time I take mine on the 250-mile round trip to the Bay Area I average 57-ish on the way there, and the low 60s on the way back. No idea why it does better on the return trip, since it's a relatively flat freeway the entire way. $31,400 was the msrp for the 2023 LE Camry, and that included heated seats, heated steering wheel, BSM, and RCTA. At that price, you're getting so much more car for your money than you are with an equivalent-price Prius. If you go to the upper end of the price spectrum, the top trims of the Camry offer so much more than the top trim of the Prius, which only boasts a meh AWD function as its main selling point over the Camry. You really have to want that middling AWD and the extra one or two MPG to choose the Prius over the Camry, because the Camry beats it like a drum in nearly every other way.
I would prase Prius as good as Camry since it's a hatchback and more cargo with seats down. So extra star for Prius. Both great choices. And I would choose quiet interior SUV over though stile exterior, so Venza!!
Drive the new prius! Just as quick, more fun to drive, updated tech, similar or better gas mileage depending on the trim and available awd if you need it. The Camry is still the better cruiser, especially for families but the redesigned prius has personality going for it.
@@user-su5mp3lg2j With its reduced cargo capacity this year resulting from that lowered roofline, does the Prius still really have an appreciable storage advantage over the Camry with its own seats folded down? Maybe, but not by much anymore, and the interior is louder in the Prius because it's an open hathback/liftback, among other reasons. It's also less secure.
@@vlj1133it still has enormous storage when seats are down. Yes, reduced a bit but not dramatically.
I'd say the best would be the Camry SE hybrid Nightshade edition though with everything considered its 37,640 though the top trims let you have red leather seats if you have issues with dark colors like black/grey from getting burned in the summer or a warm day in spring/fall or getting stuck and sliding around if your wet/sweating
The SE nightshade camry does look sick! I hope they can give the new prius a similar treatment.
Yaris Cross Hybrid is great for the money.
I drive mine with around 3.8l/100 km / over 60 mpg.
The 2024 version is going to have little bit more power and an updated interior.
The 2025 Camry is a game changer.
I've been buying Toyotas for decades, but the utter failure of their supply chain may push me elsewhere.
I bought a 2023 Pruis LE from CarMax. The main problems and deal breakers (I'm returning it) are 1) When you turn on your headlights during the day, the meter screen and info screen dim. No way to make them brighter. Ridiculous.
2) At night with headlights on, there are weird shadows cast on the road in front of you, making it look like there's some dark ghost shadow floating above the ground. No wonder there are none on the road. Too bad. It's a fun car to drive and perfect for short people like me.
Cost of Hybrid Batteries - yes, significant if it happens. But there are Gen2 PRIUS which still have/had original battery now, or when the car died of old age.
And brakes last close to forever, transmission issues are non-existent. Unlike expensive repair bills for DSG, CVT or complex multi-speed (up to 10) automatics.
And Hybrid resale is fantastic - at least here in Australia.
My father in-law has a 2004 Sienna, which he bought new for $34K CAD. It's time for a new one, today over $75k CAD with markups 😂 WTF
Seriously! Even here in the US I rolled by the lot and saw a $67k price and almost threw up.
Prices are still not (yet) spectacular if you shop around, but I have seen something like 45000 USD on the Sienna sort of near me. Perhaps cheaper further out.
Got 2023 Prius XLE with roof but no bigger media for about 39.5k after tax and everything, dealer had normal for now days add-ons for about 1.5k and another bs warranty for 1.8k (basically a mark up), would be so much better buy without all that greed (here in ga we can't have mark ups so they go around and pose it as addons)
I’m sorry, that really hurts the experience, I’ve heard much worse stories on prius markups if that’s any consolation. Congrats on the prius though!
Venza is stylish, premium interior and reliability.
I want Corolla hatch hybrid or Lexus IS hybrid. They both aren't available here.
The hatch is available in Australia - you're lucky, it's awful. Back seat is claustrophobic, and the boot/trunk is tiny.
Sadly, Toyota Australia won't give us the new Prius.
I had a Gen4 - your comment about the height of the boot (trunk) - I never had an issue with - it's floor area which is the critical criterion for a boot normally - shopping bags, school bags & projects.
Measuring by "volume" is irrelevant - where SUVs fail - most purposes, height is irrelevant.
With tax it costs $45k. With financing it costs $54k through the life of the loan. Remember that.
I’m concerns out the warping on the heads, heat and cooling have showing to cause some damage.
I’ve been Toyota for 20 years. But after driving rav4 and cx5z I switched over. Mazda is coming with Hybrid 2025. I’ll be getting one Hybrid from Mazda
all meaningless chatter since the cars are generally unavailable and if they are , dealing with the rancid toyota dealers will make you sick
Great comparison of the Toyota hybrid products. But realistically, Toyota buyers aren't going to cross shop these products. If they want a box on wheels, it's a sienna. Want a big boxy ish SUV its a highland. Big girly SUV it's Venza. Common sized boxy suv it's rav4. Poor, it's corolla. Want some more styling it's prius. Bigger sedan it's Camry. Poor and want a SUV, it's corolla cross. It's all based on looks and budget.
Just 15 years ago your 40k would have been 20k or maybe even 15k... what a joke
None of them... Buy a Tesla
How old are you?
