The 2024 Prius is proof that Toyota is not playing anymore! The all new Prius is a win all the way around. The vehicle has legitimate driving dynamics that cannot be denied no matter how much one may “hate” it. Quick/sharp steering, AWD, and 196 horsepower with instant torque make the 2024 Prius an actual pleasure to drive! Toyota is onto something good with this current formula and they’ve managed to make a Prius that anyone could enjoy! Everything about the vehicle from its design to its vastly improved technology signifies that not only is the Prius still at the top of the Hybrid food chain, but it deserves to be there and ain’t going anywhere anytime soon!
Our 2024 Prime has 220 horsepower and will deliver 0~60 in under 7 seconds. Toyota says the computer can be programmed to offer in excess of 300 hp, imagine that............. Yet, on battery power alone we can get over 80km range before switching (automatically), to HV mode. This is the way to go until full EV's are a viable option for everyone. Got ours a two weeks ago (waited 21 months !), and, have not put any gas in it to date. Oh, by the way, gas here costs $7.00 a UA gallon.
I'm with you. The car is cool. I hated Prius' and then a week ago I discovered the new Prius online and within 48 hrs. I had a Limited in my garage. I absolutely love everything about it!!!
That’s what I’m talking about! I can always appreciate someone who isn’t so closed minded and allowing something that they didn’t like at first turn into something they love. I was an avid Prius hater, but now…they’re legitimately cool, fun to drive cars. Can’t hate that.
Like your enthusiasm. My red 2024 LTD AWD is loaded but they can’t deliver it until some recall issue is fixed. I loved my 2010 and 2014 Prius. They were both loaded too but this one is really tricked out! I considered the Prime but I don’t believe heated rear seats are an option.
Hi S, You can have a Prime with heated rear seats in the higher trim levels. For us, that option would be very, very rare used. Saved the money. Like yourself, this is our third Prius. Love how it streams along in EV mode but, with zero, ZERO, range anxiety. It is the answer for now.
Questions: 1. Are the ride and handling and seating suitable for long touring? 2. I'm 5'-5". What are your thoughts on occasionally car camping in the Prius. Doable?
The ride is excellent. Of course with wider tires it would be better, but for the stock set up, it is great. The handling is surprisingly good. Very quick, direct steering all be it with very little feedback. The seating position is also great. The problem is no matter your height, most complain about the dash display being blocked by the steering wheel. I don’t find it too annoying but it is something you’ll definitely notice. I’ve never camped in a car but I’m sure with the seats folded, it will be fine for somebody our height.
@HKN_RealReviews Thank you for the quick reply. I'm retiring soon, and today's gas prices have me thinking about retiring my Charger R/T. I'd like to do some long trips and possibly take naps in between destinations.
@@skybluemarshall I say add to your fleet with the Prius. I couldn’t, in all good conscience, encourage you to get rid of any V8. They have become a commodity in todays eco friendly, government regulated world. If you can, have both. Gotta have a little balance you know!
That makes sense. Mine is a 2013 R/T Plus with about 140K miles on it. I've only had a few very minor problems with it. When a car runs great and has never broken down, it seems like a shame to part it just the get something newer. I was just talking to the guys at work about newer cars. They all own much newer vehicles than mine. I made a joke about not wanting to give up my heated and cooled cup holders. Everyone in the meeting was very surprised that my car has this feature. That started a whole new conversation between about 10 people. They were saying, why the hell does an 11 year old car have a feature which every guy the room said they liked, but not one of their newer cars with higher trim levels had it? I told them that they only wanted it, because they didn't know they could have it. 😄
@@skybluemarshall it’s little things like those cup holders that make that generation of Charger special. The 5 Speed auto sourced from Mercedes is bulletproof and it shares some E Class chassis bits too which attributes to the excellent ride and near perfect weight distribution. Very solid car! So you’re gonna keep it, right?? 👀
This is your second comment on this video with the same exact sentiment. As I’ve already stated, MY store is not charging a dime over sticker and we never have. Please stop spreading false information just because the dealerships near YOU are price gouging.
i just checked. The markup price is still insanely high. No way I am gonna buy any Toyota unless Toyota controls their greedy dealers to a reasonable price. Toyota dealers are probably the greediest dealers now. I searched around my area and still can't find any Toyota sell around MSRP.
Lol. Just buy it? How does one buy a car that is impossible to find. Go to your dealer websites within 200 miles of your location and check inventory. Odds are there’s not a single one on a lot and the ones on their site are in transit and already spoken for.
You’re right! Next time I’ll make the thumbnail say “Just buy it if you can find one.” just for you buddy. Does that work for ya? Ultimately your opinion is the only one that means anything to me. 🫠
@@Fix5750 whoa buddy 🤣🤣 that was clearly sarcasm, something you’ve obviously never heard of. Remove the cactus from your rectum and try to relax….a crap review you watched and added to my check on. 🥴😭😭😭

My man, love seeing these reviews. Can't believe Toyota made a prius attractable
Toyota went all out for the new Prius and you can tell. From design, build quality, driving dynamics, and technology. It’s a win!
Agree, although the bar was quite low with the previous ver and butt ugly. Amazing that this version actually looks quite stylish! Great review!
Helpful seeing en vivo operating digital rear view mirror. Nice job with crystal clear photography too.
Much appreciated 🙂. Thanks for watching!
Bought a silver Prius Limited last month and I just love it!

Good eye. Pretty sure that was our Service Manager.
It sucks about the skinny tires. But the rest of the car is fantastic.
I wish Toyota dealerships were not price gouging on the Prius.

Well, come to my store. We have never sold a car for more than MSRP.
@@HKN_RealReviews what is your store name, so I can google it for location.

Is there enough room for someone 6-3? Thanks
With the seat adjusted properly, yes. I’ve seen some tall guys/girls drive these with no issue. No one can sit behind you tho. 😂

@@HKN_RealReviews it’s obviously an observation about the shortage the Prius. Who cares what your title of your crap review is.

what no price? Is that because Toyota dealers are gouging people?
Lay off it princess, my store doesn’t and has never charged over sticker. Other stores are. That’s why we’re #1 in the region.
