Upgrading to XLE for 3500$ gets you: wireless phone charging, automatic lights, heated steering, heated/power seats, synthetic leather seats, and of course the much better looking 19 inch rims/tires. The Base (LE) is ~12% cheaper (3500$), is ~9% better on gas (5 MPG), and has less electronic features which could break over time, and I also believe the cloth seats would be more durable over time than the PU leather? In summary.... The base is the more practical choice in every area. cheaper purchase price. better mpg. tires are about 40% cheaper to replace. it's cheaper to insure (small amount). it will probably age better over time (cloth seats and less electronics to break). Let's not kid ourselves though, a lot of us are looking at the 23 Prius because, to an extent, we want something cool/stylish. After all, you could say that if all you really cared about is cost/reliability, a 2-year-old Corolla is probably the better choice for most people. even factoring in that the Corollas MPG is less. the lower purchase price, insurance, and tires on the Corolla will save you more money in the long run. So it makes sense that if you're already spending the extra to get get the Prius, it's tempting to throw in a couple extra thousand (12% purchase price) to get the version with the luxury look/features. Hope this helps someone. After a lot of thinking, I believe I personally will wait a few years for used car prices to drop and just go all-in on the economy side and pick up a 2-years-old base Corolla ideally non-financed. I don't like the spiral-of-consumption mindset this 23 Prius started to set me on. it's just one concession after another where first you justify spending an extra 28% on the purchase price (Corolla LE vs Prius LE), now you've got to finance and pay interest, now you want to spend an extra 12% on the purchase price to make your nice car look really nice, now you have to spend more on tires, now you want to go get car washes constantly to keep it shining, now you're nervous every time you have to park close to someone, now every scratch bothers you, and every ding sends you straight to the body shop... all of these costs add up and cause you to make different choices in other areas of your life because you're under pressure to maintain your income in the short-term rather than... you know what, let me stop lol, this just a damn RUclips comment lol.
The wireless phone charger is so useless to me. Who the hell has their phone locked away like that when driving?? I drove for work and need my phone at all times.
Thanks for bringing me back down to to earth. I started to look at other trims because I do like leather seats and I think the screen is bigger but costs in a long run may annoy me later on ? I was also looking at the 2023 Mazda 3 limited edition and now the 2023 Prius base. What do you think would be the the better car?
If you are shoping for Prius you are looking for MPG it makes more sence to buy the base trim it will have better ride quality and cheaper tires . I have mazda 6 with 19s one tire is 200 bucks...

Current gen Camry hybrid is about the same drivetrain. The Camry hybrid 0 to 60 is about 7 seconds similar to this Prius. People just don't realize how quick the current gen Camry hybrid is. I drive a Camry hybrid XLE and it's a quick car.
What I like most about this base model is the smaller wheels with bigger sidewall for a more comfortable ride on subpar roads filled with potholes. Only thing I don't like is the low profile which could get dings.
Yeah, this base model review was a great idea...really do need more reviews of the LE . Thanks so much for the quick details and clarity! I think I will be retiring my 2010 Carola with 230,000 for a new Prius. I really wonder of all this electronic stuff will still be rocking and rollin 10 years?

How tall are you, You showed us that you still have headroom and knee room, but knowing your height would have helped. Also I wish you would have actually shown us the spare tire, i want to absolutely be sure it has a spare. Also, do you need to push a button on the remote to unlock the drive's side door or can you just hold the door handle with the key inside your pocket to unlock it? Otherwise, Good review.
For many who want all wheel drive, know that the AWD LE Prius has 87 less miles or range per tank of fuel. Some due to lower MPG and some due to it having a 0.8 gallon smaller gas tank.
Any pics of the LE trim without the wheel covers? Yeah I know the wheel covers contribute to the aero effect to save mpgs, just wodering if the rims underneath are decent like the Tesla model 3 rims underneath their plastic covers.
The first generation Prius was available for sale in the US, in early 2000. The first generation Honda Insight was actually first to market in the US as a 2000, in late 1999.
Thanks for the LE review as this is the one I want. I will say that I am disappointed that is not equipped with automatic on/off headlights. Here in Los Angeles they are adding a $5000 markup on the MSRP. I’m in no hurry.
I sat in one yesterday, I didn’t like it. I’m 5’1” and I felt claustrophobic in it. I wanted to love it. I rear window has bad visibility. I didn’t drive it, but the interior was a deal breaker for me.
thank you for showing us this model in particular! I'm an Uber driver and wanted to know just how she ripped down the road before going into a dealership and listening to all the hype at the desk which carries on too long for my tastes! I wanted to see how she drove especially in sport mode! And she passed my test of handling and rearview reality, and trunk space looks like the bomb!

Now, I just have to land that full time job to make the money I will need to make the car pmt and I'm home free!
The one thing that has put me off from buying previous Prius models was the lack of information cluster above the steering wheel. I hated how the speedometer was above the center dash.
Good and useful video, thank you. It would have also been also useful if you could try to fill the boot space with luggage to give us a better impression of its size. Second thing that I would appreciate would be measuring the noise inside while maintaining stable maximum highway speed.
C'mon Toyota, put a stop to all the crap your dealers are pulling with market adjustments, useless extra warranties, and the like. I'd buy a new Prius but it's your dealers who are standing in the way.
Toyota lists an option on my LE as “parking assist”. Haven’t been able to determine the exact addition to the normal sensors that indicate distances and automatically brake in case of an obstruction. Anyone know what that option is?
The LE on the website's build feature does not have the push start button but in this video clearly shows the push start button. This the base model correct?
I have a 3rd gen and people always assume my car is small. "That won't fit in that car". They have no idea the back has so much damn room when you fold the back seats down it's like a damn mini van. The Prius is one of the most well built cars. I just wonder how serviceable the battery pack is. My 3rd gen I can replace cell blocks myself for like $35 each without paying $3000 for a new pack.
Great review! Having reviewed both the new Prius LE and a Hyundai Elantra Hybrid, which would purchase if you had $30k to spend and needed efficient, reliable transportation that was comfortable for frequent highway drives of 300 miles/6hr+? Thank you!
XLE FWD is the way to go. Without breaking the bank and value features and still getting good MPG. Please do not pay over MSRP those dealers asking for markup need to go eat sh*t
you would be correct if the Toyota marketing people could get their act together. It seems like the LE and LIMITED are the most popular, but not enough are being made. Why? Toyota could sell a whole bunch more Priuses if the would just build more.
I don't think there is a spare tire as you stated in the video. I like the size 17 wheels but I want alloy wheels. I think the cost differencebetween the steel wheel+ cover vs alloy wheel for Toyota is only about $400 more and I don't mind paying $500.
@@HumbleBearcat Doesn't look bad! But without the wheel cover you see the rim recess where the cover locks in so it does not look quite right. Definitely doable though.

I’m 5’1” and I sat in one yesterday. I put the seat up high to see over the instrument cluster. Truthfully I felt claustrophobic in it, especially when I closed the moon roof. It’s more difficult to get into being so low. I wanted to love it, but I didn’t feel as comfortable in it as my 2009 Prius or the 2022. Oh, and the back windshield it difficult to see out of.

Word of warning here: at 6'4" you may find the steering wheel will not expand close enough to allow your legs enough room to the pedals so there may be some cramping. The ergos are a little off here for taller drivers. Headroom probably ok. Headroom in back seat is not good...maybe 6' max..5'10" might be comfortable.

Depends where you're from. AWD is better if you live in Colorado where the roads are mountainous and hilly. If you live in a city with mostly flat highways and roads, FWD is sufficient without having to pay extra for AWD.

FWD OR AWD? whats better ideally?
Depends where you're from. AWD is better if you live in Colorado where the roads are mountainous and hilly. If you live in a city with mostly flat highways and roads, FWD is sufficient without having to pay extra for AWD.
