I got a Prime XE a few months ago. I have noticed that back rear corner is pretty warm to the touch when the car is charging (the back right corner is not). There is also quite a loud buzzing noise that comes from there. Somebody rear ended me at the red light but it was enough to cause the bumper to be changed. I am trying to figure out if all 2023 Prius Primes get warm in the left corner when the car is hooked into the electric charger. Have you noticed if yours does that? I'd appreciate it if you could check and write an answer as the insurance people do not want to pay for diagnostics again.
Right, can you recommend for us a non-hybrid that returns 61.2mpg on the highway. That's what we get in hybrid mode with our 2024 Prime. And that's after we go over 80Km's on battery first. Our first two Priuses delivered 4.4 lp-100Km on the highway.
I think Hyundai truly started the trend of focusing on luxury feeling in economy cars and they themselves forced Toyota and Honda to up their game. The new Prius is an attractive car. It’s not something I never buy because it’s too slow and two small But I can see that any prior previous owner or maybe even first time car buyer would be very happy with one.
size is arguement, but slow? Well, if you want to chase BMWs on the German Highway, then yeah, it is too slow, but for 99% of the speed ranges you operate on daily business (0-130) it is above avarqage speed for sure.
You have to weigh things through.. Yeah ..too slow.. too slow for what? And there is hardly , if anything on the market that averages 56 MPG. If you leave out MPG, you've basically confirmed that savings doesn't matter. Savings matters more than speed and this car, which I have, 2024 XLE, is more than sufficient to blow past people driving to slow in the fast lane.
Toyota lovers say that Toyotas have the best quality and are more sturdy than anything else. 43:20 shows that this is not true! You should not be able to shake part of the dash like that.
I like a full size, smooth riding, comfortable luxury car. Eventhough the Toyota Prius is to small for me, i like the prius. Ofcourse superseding any EV, it runs on gas and electric with a total range of 640 miles which is far greater than any EV. The regular Toyota Prius (hybrid), still has a range of 631 miles, still far greater than any EV. Down time as far as fueling? About 7 minutes, far faster than any EV. And now available in 4 wheel drive? Now how comes Elon Musk didn't think of all these fine features for Tesla, the car which many swear by? The price for the prime is a little over 42 thousand dollars, well worth the money. The 2023 Tesl Y model cost more at almost 50 thousand dollars and whats really bad is for your money, you're only getting a range of 279 to 330 miles and for your down time, It's not 7 minutes but 8 hours and 15 minutes to fully charge from 0 to 100 percent. Not a car i would want to travel from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida at 831 miles or any major over the road travel at all, it would take you twice as long! If i were to buy a Tesla or any EV, they have to definitely improve them. As far as the Toyota Prius hybrid? If they ever come out with a full size, luxury prius i would buy it. If you really need range? The Jaguar XF 20d which has a range of 731 miles. But good job Toyota. I will keep my eyes open for a full size, luxury version to come out one day. Till then i will keep my jaguar XJl with 8 minutes or less to fuel and that includes running in and grabbing a coffee and a range of 515 miles....
What car marketing plan would you bring back? We're fond of "Yaris. It's a car!"
Guardian Gray is a beautiful color of them all!
My neighbor has one, it looks even better in person
Audio tuning for all modes is on the right side of the steering wheel. You don't have to go through the multimedia screen.
Solar roof makes more sense in warm sunny areas, probably great for Nevada and Arizona
Great review! We bought the Prime XSE and absolutely love it!

If you do mostly highway miles it might be worth it to NOT get a hybrid. A lot of vehicles have pretty high highway MPG being a non-hybrid.

Too much cute. Do facts please. Entertainment is great, but it's gotta be... well, entertaining.
You are not.
