Finally a good looking Prius!! Only too bad that i will never be able to afford it 🤣
You forgot to include the Toyota Venza.
It is only made in a hybrid.
My dad had the first prius and has had one ever since they came out. I always hated the look of the car but 2023's looks damn good. I would consider buying one as i love Toyota and my last two cars were Venza's.
Yeah we all use to crack jokes….Now with gas prices we all wish we had one😂
Nah honestly it looks uglier in person imo. The new design looks better for the cameras.
According to Road and Track, fully loaded Prius costs 42k. Do you want to pay 42k for a Toyota?
@@kjshy no body wants to pay 42k for any new car, but that is a normal price these days, and if you're going to pay 42k for a new car, I think a Toyota might actually get you your money's worth, in the effect that they are known for their long lasting reliability. My friend has a 4-year old Subaru with 45k on the car. Transmission just went out on him...
@@kjshy Find me a new car of any brand thats worth paying below 40k, oh wait! There's none!
I have a 2015 Prius V that I have no regrets buying. It has more utility than my 2011 Mitsubishi RVR. What I love most about the Prius is only visiting the gas station once every 3 weeks
I don't get the complaints about rear visibility. We now have back-up cameras as standard equipment so parking is easy and safer. Also, when you are driving and you check your rearview mirror, as long as you can tell if someone is behind you or not, that's really all you need to know. I see no issues here.
The one thing people need to be aware of with the new Prius is that even though it is more powerful than before, it is not built for sport. The wheel and tire sizes are still super narrow which makes it efficient, sure, but it will have less than average grip for braking and cornering which could definitely get some people in trouble if they push this car without opting for alternative wider wheels and tires. The 195s on the last gen were not very grippy. I even accidently oversteered/drifted my 2017 turning around a bend at the bottom of a steep hill but managed to pull my car out of it with steering and throttle. Braking quickly at high speed also seemed sub par since that contact patches are so small. The car would often feel like the tires would slide under heavy braking. I now run wider tires for better grip and safety which I think is worth sacrificing a few MPG for. Not saying you have to get wider tires but know that you should drive very conservatively on the stock tire sizes and realize there is actually very little grip which is why the car can get such phenomenal fuel economy.
The Prius Prime seems like an ideal commuter. During the week, you can drive all-electric, and in the weekend, use gas for long trips.
The only problem is that EV's exist. Look how charging times have crumbles. Fom a day, to hours to 30, to 15 min. One model now has 10 min charge to 80%, and the goal is to reach only 5 min. New battery chemestry will allow this sooner than most people thought posssible. The pPious will be more expensive than an EV Top model is $34.5K Chevy Bolt to is $32.0K, and now there are others in that range. Do not forget about "stealerships " for both brands.
@@EnriqueThiele Don’t get me wrong. We have a Tesla model Y. For some, however aPHEV seems like a good option. I had a C-Max Energi fir Almost 10 years and rarely used gas.
i heard that the gas engine will kick in when speed is over 30m/h. Not sure if it’s true
@@zq9813it isn't. That was true for the 2011 Prius plug in. Not the Prius Prime.
@@EnriqueThiele the way I see it is EVs for private , Hybrid for the commercial use. Prius will continue to prevail amongs cab and Uber drivers. I am looking forward for Toyota scale their hybrid models to Vans.
Never a Prius fan before but I like this 👍🏾.
Then you'll prob love the ID Buzz by Volkswagen. Fully electric and camping ready.
Camry le hybrid gets 50+mpg, is cheaper and more comfortable.
@@godjhaka nope not at all give some ice in it
Sure, they're ugly, but they paved the way for a bunch of other great hybrids
@@ArsonistArborist kind of like the first cave woman 🤔
Surprised Scotty isn't more excited about this. It more hp, stiffer chassis, lower center of gravity, better tech, better mpg, and looks amazing. I did a lot of research on this. Even made a video on why this is cheaper to drive over a 10 year period than the model 3. I put a down payment on one about two weeks ago.
The Prius is boring AF the refresh doesn't help anything I'm buying a tesla
You serm to focus only on the positive things about the car. Did you even listen to the negatives? This is why we are in this situation with EVS much too many negitives for a rational person to consider. The brainwashing only works on emotional needy people
Sales will still be low for the new Prius. Nobody cares
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 that’s not a refresh, it’s a complete redesign
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 I had considered both very strongly. But even with the tax incentives I wasn't sold. The Tesla styling, and fit and finish, are some of the most bland and poorly executed in the entire car industry (Rivian may be even worse)? The entire interior is an Ipad. And the exterior is just as boring. It's true that its faster. And that can be some fun. But you should really do the research into the tire replacement on that. I think you might be surprised. It's a big expense with EVs. The cost per mile isn't what you would think. Good luck.
Glad that to see the gauges are now properly at the steering wheel, in front of the driver!
Have you thoughts on the Cross? Worth trading in a Matrix for it?
Thank you bro ! Sharing your video ❤❤
Just got a Toyota sienna and love the hybrid mpg. Thinking that my keep wrangler middle age crisis is coming to an end, trade it in for one of these maybe.
I recently saw a video about how while most motor companies are jumping on the bandwagon and going all electric, Toyota is going the more cautious route of building hybrids instead. There's some logic to it all, as plug in hybrids use electric power for short trips around town and a petrol engine for longer trips. From what I've heard, on longer road trips a lot of time is consumed with charging up for a totally electric car, if you can find a charger. The hybrid Prius doesn't have that problem and thus has the best of both worlds.
If you honestly think they’re approaching it at a cautious point of view , you’re completely mistaken about the whole business aspect of Toyota the reason why they’re not switching over is because they can’t sustain the business infrastructure and they as a country will go bankrupt because 37% of their GDP comes from their automotive industry They’re already experiencing economic collapse, and if their auto industry collapses they’re done for
Also unless u live in an apartment your home is the charging station. Your so Cute. 😂
@@JonYSnoh expensive charging station at £0.34 per kwh lol
Got a 2020 Honda CRV Hybrid. NO PLUG IN. Recharges from regenerative braking. As soon as you ease of the gas, it charges.
man I cant wait to charge the prius prime in my apartment
Hard to beat a Toyota 🥰
Doubt that, maybe in the 1990’s
@Phil Easler lol. You probably all in on oversized domestic junk
@@phileasler5401lmao what
Tesla model Y will be the most sold carmodel on planet Earth in year 2023, and year 2024 😎
@Mika Filtenborg if they keep reducing the price of it lol.
Hi Scott, thanks for the great information on Prius. I'm very curious about the battery power part. Which prius version can power without battery power in an event the battery pack malfunctions or can't be charged anymore?
Nice car but the top of the steering wheel obscures part of the instrument panel for most drivers ....maybe the top of that steering could be notched out and a redesign made available as an after market option ?
Appreciate your reviews. Very helpful as I think about replacing my 2019 Prius Prime with a larger more comfortable and versatile vehicle. What!? The 2023 Prime ha a lower ceiling an even less luggage capacity?
Rav4 Prime, here I come!
They look much better than the old ones...
Thanks Scotty, lots of fresh material from the 'electric viking' too
I got the 23 Prius prime. I absolutely love this car. My only complaint is all the safety nonsense beeping at me.
YES! The darn thing is always yelling at me! I’d love to find a way to turn that stuff off.
I figured it out. If you go through the settings on the instrument cluster you can shut a lot of annoyances off. Driver monitoring was my biggest peeve.
Definitely a sportier look at 19 inches!
i think it is the best design Prius. buying! thanks Scotty
I haven’t driven one, but limited rear visibility is an unpardonable sin. That likely makes the Corolla and Camry hybrids better choices.
I think having subscription services for car features is an even worse sin. You have to literally subscribe to things that could improve or not improve the safety of you and your family based on how much you're willing to spend per month.
@@williamakers1101 Hopefully some third party will figure out how to defeat the subscription lockouts, giving people the features without the added expense. When that happens, people will buy the cheaper model. Plus, it's not hard to figure out that if the features are in the car, but can only be unlocked by subscription, that the manufacturer has already paid for the features and can sell the full-featured car for the base model price. They're just being greedy.
Got mine last week! It’s gorgeous
How many times has Scotty boy wrote Teslas obituary 😂
I think he’s making them stronger each time he tries to hate lol
Has he pulled the "Tesla killer" gag yet? I love that one; it usually seems to kill the 'killer'.
Nice upgrades and options 👍👍
Certainly better than before, the look for sure then the amazing hybride engine.
That is the problem of going fully electric is the lack of infrastructure for battery charging.
Don't you have the corolla hybrid in the states?
Best car channel by far!
I thought the last generation was good-looking. At least you know it's a Prius when you see it. These days, with so many models, even from different carmakers, looking so much alike, that was one thing I always appreciated about the Prius
I personally like the look ..not sure why everyone thinks it's ugly
why dont they just make all cars hybrids instead of pushing electric that way you use less fuel but not having to kill the electric infustruture
Great video
The Prius has come a long way. I like the styling on the '23 model.
No
Its my next car. Yet to launch in my country
Absolutely love my 22 venza limited averaging 40 MPG😊.
I love the new Prius!
I like the plug in model! Great Video Scotty!
I drive an SUV and a pickup, old Prius, new Prius....both would be very difficult for me to get in and our of compared to what I have. Sitting just several inches off the ground...😬
Hi Scotty, my son has a 2006 Yukon with a 6 litre gas engine. When they stop at a stop sign it stalls and won’t start. They get it towed then the next morning it starts. If they keep it revving when stopped it won’t stall. What is your opinion.
I think Toyota is still doing it right. Hybrid or Plug in Hybrid your not totally dependent on a battery and finding an electric charging station. I would rather have the gas available and make your own electricity to charge as you drive.
If your driving a Tesla the gas station is in your garage, and CHEAP,cross country Tesla Super Chargers are everywhere .
I love it it looks great.
Good evening Scotty! 🎉
Lots of things shocking the automotive industry eh.
🔌🔋⚡💥💨🥴
Shocking!
Scotty they have stopped selling them here in Australia unfortunately..
I didn't get the prius but I bought the next best thing. The Toyota Crown Limited. I just wanted something a little bigger. I get 42-45mpg. Couldn't be happier.
What a great video. Scotty has delivered more useful information about the new Prius than any of the other reviews posted on CZcams. 😀😀😀
10 minute commercial for toyota, lame
@@Matthias_Fischer he was 100% reading from a script probably written by toyota marketing team
Excellent communicator.
Paid content?
Honestly I'd consider it, I just kinda feel eh about how it looks. But at 57 MPG and 7.0 0-60mph you're laughing at everyone else, who cares how it looks
The smaller size and poorer outside window vision is a killer for me. I hate the high window lines most new vehicles have. Every year after attending the Chicago and Milwaukee shows and getting back in my 96 Chevy Lumina mini van, the window difference is amazing. Huge forward vision, and I can back up into a parking space by just looking out the rear window.
The danged thing is a terror to drive on a busy interstate. What visibility?
My sister had an order for one put in 4 months ago at a dealership in NJ. Still no word on when they’ll have “‘em. Can’t find ‘‘em in stock anywhere
Here in Las Vegas I’ve seen a few first gen Prius. Makes me happy to see how long they last. I wonder how many traction batteries they went thru. I love my 2016 Prius. I recently did an oil change and used Royal Purple, and omg, the car feels peppier. I wish I used that oil earlier.
engine oil that is differential? What oil you use before
@@pewpew9040 I used to only take my car to Toyota dealerships, I think they use Mobile1 but I’m not sure. I think each dealership might use something different. I’ve been to two dealerships. Royal Purple is a different brand of motor oil. I think that’s what you’re asking?
Now imagine going full Electric , like Tesla , nomore oil changes , air filters and no more Fossil fuels oh and if you charge at home " fuel" is a fraction of Gas.
imagine the sticker shock when you have to replace the battery on an EV😮
@Aurelio-Rey milaor cabal imagine being so ignorant you think EVs = no fossil fuels. Sorry dude, your overpriced tesla isn't saving the earth.
Can’t wait to get Ubered in one of these
I have a 2022 Rav 4 Prime and I love it! It's hard to switch Toyota.
Hello Scotty. From down under.
I like it alot. Especially on demand all wheel drive. (Because I get snow)
I would like to test drive one for a few days
“I didn’t know they put tampons on wheels” iykyk 😂😂
Love it! My favorite care since the '14 Mustang. RIP Mustang, gone too soon.
Why Japan makes good affordable cars and we in old USA can not.
Somebody tell me why.
The long-term planning vs. quarterly (for the American shareholders) and the cultural difference (the Japanese people aim for perfection) are resulting in the best quality, the most reliable and the lowest TCO cars.
It seems very simple, but it is not.
Love the body style of the 2013 prius.
Wow! 2023 Pruis looks Great! I want one. However nothing compares to my Toyota Tundra crewmax limited 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 😎
Don't forget ALL Venzas are hybrids.
What’s the range on the plug-in in ev mode?
Wanted to get a new Prius. But can't find any of them anywhere in my state
Best review....
Wish I could buy one
Thank you.
I stopped considering hybrids when I was asked to jump start a Prius...and it didn't start.
I hope the Prius will soon be offered with solid-state batteries, and perhaps a BEV version. This new version looks great!
If there was a BEV, it wouldn't be called a Prius......It'd be something else entirely!
Just get a Tesla.
@@benc1927 Is it easy to repair a Tesla once broken?
@@aeronYTco Actually yes, electric cars are very simple to work on when rarely needed to do so. The absence of a transmission, engine, and exhaust make any such rare maintenance or repairs a cakewalk.
They are getting it really right ready to roll.
8:12 I think you meant to say, "Historically, Toyota has valued function over form."
Yes, I think is a great vechile. Thanks.
Scottie loves Toyota, Sounds like a Toyota sales commercial.
When I was shopping for a hybrid in 2013, the Honda Insight was $33k and the Prius was $60k. I’m still driving my Honda Insight and no mechanical or battery problems.
The staring price for the 2023 Prius is $27K. What trim level were you looking at for $60K?
@@Iffy50 The hi tech Prius model was double the price of the hi tech honda insight in 2013.
Handles on top for rear doors will be an interesting test for Winter...hope they are sturdy, with good seals
PHEV is the way to go...during this transition time. Cold turkey changes are too disruptive and annoying and costly.
What car was that matte black EV at the 9:50 mark? Thanks.
Volvo, check their website. You will find it's name and specs
I love my Prius prime and I plan on buying another one when I need another car
Dude with the IPM failure costing me $12,000 on my hybrid Highlander I doubt if I will ever go electric ever again
Wish there was better ground clearance.
Love it
In practical long road trip driving a Prius is much faster than a Tesla. Reason is both can make the speed limit+ no problem; but the Tesla will need to stop every 200 miles for at least 30 minutes. If you drive from Seattle to San Fransico the Prius can arrive almost 2 hours earlier. In a 700 mile drive, if you start at 8 AM the Prius will get you in town at 6 PM in time for dinner, maybe check out the town; the Prius driver won't show till near 8 PM; just enough time to check in and go to sleep. Tesla drivers of course say you could make your last charging stop and eat but your limited in your choices near a charging spot.
He said the Prius driver won’t get there until 6 PM and then you said the Prius driver will get there at 8 PM. Which is it? If in the second scenario you mean the Tesla driver. He ate on the road. He doesn’t have to get there at 6 PM. If he gets there at 8 PM and goes to bed, he must be very old and tired.
Oh tesle driver won't get there till 8 pm
The tesla driver will also have zero maintenance associated with an ICE engine. Get a rebate taking nearly 10k off the price putting it barely any more expensive than the prius with more features, better safety, and noticeably faster if it matters. Do that trip enough times and you'll quickly find your prius is costing more than your tesla. But you'll get there earlier :)
It is absolutely better. I have a feeling Toyota wants to keep their hybrids forever.
TY,,,,,,WOW incredible very interesting great information super kool,
AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.
I had to re-check the calendar twice to realise it wasn’t April 1
I’ll keep my 2019 prius! My bad boy runs beautifully ❤
The world is shocked once more. That’s why its so hot out here lol
Prius gen 5 idrive is an awesome car
If they had all these features in a Camry or Corolla, then I’ll buy one lol.
That's a pretty car.
I own the 2009 Prius. Wish I could afford the 2023
I own a 2009 as well. Wish it would last forever. Love it!
Did it solve the regenerative braking problem on Ice, Snow and Wet Slippery Roads? That is the biggest problem with Full Electric and Hybrid Vehicles.
I am wondering about this as well, the switch between the region and the hydraulic braking is very harsh on ice at least in the den threes I don't know about the 4s
That was quite a number of years ago. There was an update on the previous generation.
You're GODDAMN RIGHT!
Living in this one might just be a tad tighter than gen 1-4
We got a Toyota/Lexus dealership called Envirocars. We have a few Prius with over 300K miles starting with my mechanic's Prius Junior 350K, our loaner Prius 440K and my personal Prius, the ApolloPrius or Dinosaur (cuz she roams the earth 28 times) clocked at 684K miles and still kicking. I drove it to Mt. Hood in Oregon 3 times a week.
Wow. Sounds great!
I like it, the Prime.
Looks like the 1st Prius I would buy
The entire car industry is shocked. Now they died because they are shocked every fking day
It's just a shame the yellow color will not be available in the US.
The new Priuses is much better looking and if it stays true to its history, will be very much sought after by those who want their cars to sip gas...lol.
this Prius Looks great
Hi Scotty!
Nice car!
Toyota finally allowed to do this? They had the Toyota ecospirit back in 2000 that could get 100 mpg, that mysteriously was pulled from their line up, and all were recalled if I remember correctly.
that never actually happened. it was a concept but they never had it in their lineup
