compare to elantra hybrid and prius, which one do you guys like more?
I love the new Toyota Prius, it’s very sexy and nice much better than the old one
I never thought will like this Prius , untill i went to a dealer. OH..man..such a nice good looking viecle.
Think new prius is car of the future 53 miles per gallon it would pay for itself in couple urs fuel alone its Toyota
Excellent review!
This car is dramatically better than a Tesla.
The gauge cluster is no problem for me. I’m 6’2” and have perfect positioning to see it. As you know, it was to be steer by wire setup with a pilot wheel.
Amazing video guys.
Good luck finding one on the lot, and even better luck finding one for MSRP, or lower.
They sell for +36k..... I can't find one for $32k within 150 miles from my home.
We were looking to buy a vehicle . Looking foe a sienna which proved impossible to get . We stopped by a couple Toyota dealerships and if you put in a request for one the are adding a $5000 up charge . Told them to take a hike and do not ever call me . Ford was the worst of them all so I will never step foot on a ford dealership again.. We found a couple Toyota dealerships not adding anything extra to the price so i gave them my number to call me . They will get my business . Now we did not end up being able to get a sienna . Ended up with a different brand vehicle . Who told us they do not mark up the vehicle price . Well i found an added line that adds $3000 and they could not explain well what the $3000 was for . Gave me the run around about it . I told them from the beginning not to play games with me and they tried anyway . I turned to walk out and suddenly the $3000 extra in the price disappeared . My in-laws went to buy a vehicle a few months back . The always take me as i know every con a dealership will try and pull . Sure enough right away , they tried telling them there payment would be a certain amount a month . I did the math on my calculator (should have seen the salesman face when i did that) it came to 12% interest rate . I asked him what interest rate they came up with . He refused to tell me . Literally refused . …. So this con man said, let me see again what i can do . He came back with a much different number . Came to around 4% which at the time was still to high ,not much, but still to high. My Inlaw has immaculate credit . Just under 800 . I told him he could get lost and we walked out . I told them they need to get there own financing and they did at a lower rate even more then the dealership claimed . They bought there vehicle somewhere else . I Absolutely hate the dealership experience . Dealership favorite question . What payment are you comfortable with ? 1-do your homework before going to a dealership 2-get financing outside of the dealership (credit union a good choice) know all the numbers before you go 3-do not buy any extras. You a get extra coverage such as gap insurance with your banking institution . Lower rate and no interest . I had one dealership try lying saying you could only get it through them . I literally called 3 banks on speakerphone all saying they had it available . I walked out . Dealerships need to get rid of salesman . Purchasing a vehicle should work as it does with Tesla .(the best buying experience ). No bogus dealership fees . No hidden lines of extras . Now,I’m not interested in buying a tesla but they have the best purchasing method by far .
Right, the prices of all their hybrids have gotten out of hand. Can't justify paying a markup. But I do like the new Prius.
It all depends on your location. Here in Louisiana they can't give them away.
@@solargoomba I live in NC. A lot of people here hate EV's, but not hybrids. At least ones made by Toyota. The Prius has been around for a few decades now, has proven reliability. Unlike EV's that seem anything but reliable.
I like the new Prius & I can't wait to buy one.
I have a 2022 Camry LE Hyrid. I love my car.
I bought the 23 Prius Prime in blue and there was no extra charge for the paint. I believe only the white and red were extra. Thanks.
Beautiful car
Toyota knocked out the park with the Prius, but phoned in the laziest redesign (though it's not, it's the same old car) of the Camry ever.
Definitely agree!
One thing very few people talk about in there reviews is, no back wiper. I need to see how this does on dirty slush or rain hwy.
this is the exact color/trim pkg I am looking to get. so thanks for making this vid. :)
Just wash it when you’re at the gas station. I am sure it will collect pollen and dirt in the back.
The problem now is you have the corolla and the Camry that do basically the same thing as far as hybrids go
Thank God. Finally the Prius is not the only fuel efficient option
The solution is that everybody has their preference and choose whatever they like. People will go for Prius because it’s smaller than Camry and people love hatch. People go for Corolla cuz they don’t care about car design and afford within their pay range, People go for Camry because they want comfort, good turn radius, and somewhat feel luxurious while cruising on Camry. Best part, they’re all hybrids!!!. I just dislike comments like these which states out problems with specifics that does not have problems to begin with. Toyota does need to change design for Corolla though cuz Corolla is an ugly version of combo of Prius and Camry.
I also like the idea of Prius prime limited trim having a gauge cluster cuz tall mfs like me can genuinely find them useful. So cars don’t have to lose a feature just for the sake of uniqueness. A car is a luxury that an individual invest in. The more the car can give a potential, better it is.
lol having choice is not a problem
The Prius is much faster and has more power than the Corolla. Is like they made the Prius the maximum expression of what a hybrid can do, the 'master' of hybrids.
Wait why is that a problem
Tried to get once for 32K but no avail. Ended up getting CPO 2022 330e with 5500 miles for 30K instead.
Roof line is too low, definitely kills the internal space
I am holding on to my 2019 Civic SI for as long as I can, but this looks like something I might be interested in, in 5 to 7 years from now.
Probably the Prius Prime.
This is my favorite review by far and I’ve watched more than a dozen. Just waiting for my LTD AWD delivery. Fully loaded. Can hardly wait! Btw LTD has 8, not 6 speakers. 👍🏽
Glad you enjoyed it!
So could you just put the LE wheels on it and increase the mpg to same as LE?
This is actually a good question and something to consider if that does.
Pretty much. Maybe the XLE weights a bit more but the vast majority of that loss is from the wheels both the weight and aero.
Since when is having options a problem????
Oh, the Toyota Prius XLE! It's a fantastic choice for a hybrid car. The Prius XLE offers great fuel efficiency, comfortable features, and a smooth ride. With its sleek design and advanced technology, it's no wonder the Prius is a popular option for eco-conscious drivers. Plus, the XLE trim level adds extra touches of luxury and convenience. Whether you're looking to save on fuel costs or reduce your carbon footprint, the Toyota Prius XLE is definitely worth considering! 🌿🚗
I want one 😊
Just pay 4k over MSRP plus whatever else they want to add on. XLE and Limited aren't worth getting reduced mileage either. That's the whole point of the Prius.
2025 Camry maybe cost around $35k but more space. Prius looks good and great on mpg but I think consumers rather pick the Camry over Prius.
And the Camry gets a spare tire.
$41k for a limited!🤣🤣🤣
Can adjusting the height of the seat can solve the reading gauge issue?
Combo of seat and steering wheel adjustment did the trick for me and my wife.
Can we go back to smaller wheels with more sidewall? Those wheels are not potholes friendly.
Scary low profiles.
Not available and almost 5k+ over msrp!!!
How long do batteries last? and how expensive is a new one?
My 2014 one has lasted ten years.
10-15 years. Each generation has had long lasting batteries. 4-6K to have them replaced. 3K if you do it yourself.
At 6’3 and 452 pounds I found it much too small for me.
Lord have mercy
You're gonna wanna look at a grand Highlander my friend 😭
@@meatl0ad I did, in fact, take a look at the Grand Highlander. Real nice, very well build quality. But difficult to drive because the adjustable steering wheel is still just too tight and pressing on my legs, hampering my feet especially when trying to eat on the go. One should have the freedom and ability to eat and drive comfortably at the same time. Remember, ‘if you can’t place your feet, you can’t not eat.’ And if you can’t eat, y that’s not neat.
Then walk.
What you are a NFL lineman?
Great looking vehicle. Enjoy it on video because you’re more likely to find a big foot, a unicorn, or a Dodo bird on a Toyota lot before you’ll see the ever-elusive 2024 Prius.
I like the new Prius but on the limited everything is so expensive
the xle at a dealership near me had a prius xle msrp at $32,990 but marked up to $42,990
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree That's some massive BS. If you were shopping for this car I hope you find one at your price point.
@@GDonPadlan I walked away from the deal last week. I actually checked their website and the car is no longer listed for sale. Guessing someone actually bought it at that price smh…
You are lying
@@alginyes Me?!
I have had one of these for about a yr. I still hardly see any on the road. So rare is in that I’m wondering if I can sell it for what I bought it. We paid about 38,000. The car is gorgeous but it is much lower to the grown, is much tighter inside and has lost tons of trunk space over the last generation
The lowness scares me. Love the look.
@@TheGirl600podcastwhat is scary? I heard they have up to 6 inches of ground clearance.
Price mentioned here is an utter lie. Local Toyota dealer advertises this Prius version with TSRP of more than 35k. If lucky you'll find it at 34k. Thats the average cost. Nowhere near the 31k mentioned here.
Trim level?
was looking for an xle for $35,000 or less including fees but the cheapest i found was just under 40k
I found an XLE in North Carolina for 33k - after taxes , tag and title - 35k
45k out door in California
You know 57 miles per gallon divided by 12.38333 kwh is 4.6 miles per kwh, most Tesla's can do that.
I don't know why everyone says the older Prius' are slow! I have my new 2024, but I also have a 2012. If I push the power button on the 2012, it is a lot quicker than you realize! Yes, the 2024 is quicker, but the 2012 ain't slow ... with the power button pressed! Just sayin'...
how? 41k for xle prius????
what's the difference between the 2023 prius and the 2024 prius?
Volume knob location. I think that is it.
Totota is price gouging on the Prius and Rav4.
Waiting for the 2025 Civic Hybrid. If it gets anywhere around 50 mpg, I’m going with Honda
00:45 boots n' pants boots n' pants boots n' pants
Hmmmm a 2015 nissan leaf definitely looks better if u ask me 😂. No but all jokes aside this is one good looking car. Never thought i’d say that about a prius nor hear it be called fun. Toyota really did their homework when making this.
Honda accord hybrid EX-L is still way better and looks more stylish
$32k my ass! If you can find one, they are gong for $34k base. $36-$38k for higher trims. in my market! The XLE easily $36k
Got my XLE last month for 35k after tag, tax and title.
I will never have a 500 dollar a month car payment 😂 cars are a deprecated asset and the most im willing to pay for a car is 250 a month. In my younger days I just wanted to look cool so I would pay 1k a month for a car those days are over lol
Simple solution, save and pay cash in full. I just wrote a $52k check recently on my wife 2024 Lexus NX350h.
lowest i see is $36k in MD 😢
Passport
I think we can credit Tesla for making car companies step up their game of turning practical gas saving cars into something fun to drive and not be ashamed of owning. That's coming from a guy that's not impressed with EVs or the megalomaniac Musk.
I like Elon Musk and what he's done with Tesla, but I still agree with you. I just hope the 'practicality' of cars via physical buttons doesn't diminish, due to Tesla' success.
i get 64mpg plus in my corolla hybrid..just saying options are out there this thing is over priced
Um, no you don't.
64MPG? You drive city and under 20MPH only?
64 mpg! The math is not mathing 😂
I can get that in my 2023 Prius and I have significantly more HP and better tech
64MPG on a 2023 Prius? You either drive really slow and coast like there is no tomorrow. Hell I can get 50MPG on my Lexus ES350 going 70MPH purely downhill only.
My local Toyota dealer has zero stock of ANY new Hybrid models. Anything coming in is already allocated and therefore cannot be test driven. They are essentially suggesting I buy one without ever driving it first. The whole situation has kind of turned me off to the brand. It makes me feel like they are some exclusive product that I am just not cool enough to purchase.
There is nothing special about this car. There are others that basically do the same thing and even look so much better.
Too bad it’s not $32,000.
The XLE I just bought was 33.5k
Kia should take notes from Toyota.
u mean.. toyota is taking notes from Kia...
@@mrpogi23 you mean that you need an eye exam.✅
My Prius from 2012 had much more space in it
What’s your mpg
Next generation cars are smartphones and Japan make bad smartphones
For 35k for this junk? Tsla model 3 is more value and fun to drive!
Teslas are garbage
Actually the Prius is more fun to drive, especially on curvy roads. Straight line yeah a tesla is fast. But it’s heavy, feels more like a boat in a turn. I own a 2023 Prius. I was using a model 3 as a rental while my Prius was at the body shop for 3 weeks.
The Tesla is a good vehicle, but once you get passed the one truck pony of EV acceleration it’s not the best for more spirited driving beyond a straight line.
@@BonanzakingMPG?
No one here believes you. LOL!
NOPE 😞
YEP ☺ 2024Prius XLE in my garage!
HERE IS YOUR TOYOTA RELIABILITY👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Class Action Lawsuit Against Toyota
Lawsuits by Toyota owners allege that the Japanese automaker engaged in fraud, negligently manufactured cars, and defectively designed the Electronic Throttle Control System ('ETCS-i' or 'ETCS') of some models. Problems with the ETCS have been blamed for the incidents of unintended acceleration claimed by several Toyota drivers, who reached a class-action settlement with the carmaker. According to the Toyota Economic Loss Settlement Website, the deadline for filing a claim for this particular issue was July 29, 2013.
Here are a few of the lawsuits:
Saylor v. Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (complaint) -- Products liability and negligence lawsuit in a California state court against Toyota and Lexus car dealer over the deaths of 4 family members in a Lexus ES350 loaner vehicle that apparently accelerated to 120 mph before killing the car's 4 occupants.
Miller v. Toyota Motors Sales, USA, Inc., et al. (complaint) - Breach of warranty, negligence, and product liability lawsuit.
Heilbrunn, et al. v. Toyota Motor Corp. (class-action complaint) - Federal class-action lawsuit accused Toyota of breach of express and implied warranties, fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of good faith and fair dealing.
cool 10 year old lawsuit
@@bitbat9 is the current massive toyota recall also 10 year old? LOL
@@andresmattos7541then link that one?
@@andresmattos7541 The current recall is literally for cars from 20 years ago.
