The new Toyota Prius, finally a good looking car? Let me know in the comments if you'd buy one!
This car have a nice lock and unlock sound
No I still find it just as bland
Yeees
We want to buy a saw, but many of us don't have enough money
The yellow colour looks better in pictures and on video than IRL I'm afraid.
It looks OK now. Actually better than many cars nowadays.
Pricing in Belgium is downright ridiculous.
Every colour is an option, and the 19" wheels are a forced option - all in all 4000€ in addition to a 48000€ starting price
It’s almost as if somebody told the Toyota designers “you know, it doesn’t HAVE to be ugly” and they all replied “oh, we didn’t know that”
That literally happened. The CEO publically told Toyota "no more boring cars" lol
This is just as ugly, if not more so. Along with the Tacomas & 4Runners.
@@ChancellorM1YT show me a few cars that costs that much and looks better. Even most cars that cost 3x as much look trash in comparison.
@@ChancellorM1YT You’d be the only person to think that.
You know I actually appreciate this style of video, just straight to the point, calm, No BS filler.
thanks! ✨🙏✨
Yep 👍 it’s refreshing not yak yak constant talking but we see it and get a good 👍 dea
I drove it a few days ago and was very surprised how good this car is! It's by no means fast, but it has plenty of power for everyday traffic.
nawh fk that speed... i'm tryna save gas.
I had a 2010 Prius for 8 years and 245,000 km. I never really liked the way it looked or drove, but it was extremely reliable and well made and cheap to run. This Prius is beautiful and I’m sure drives much better, while hopefully remaining durable and reliable.
can't go wrong with a 2.0 hybrid
how was the battery on the 8th year compared to the 1st
@@hallmonitor98 exactly the same
so a used 2010 would be a good buy?@@WalksOfWonder-BC
I cant believe i just called a prius gorgeous!
Hahaha, I had the same reaction... is THAT the new Prius!? Thanks for watching!
I agree 👍
It definitely is!
But it’s already obsolete! Hybrids only exist because dealerships insisted… have fun paying for oil & filter changes, antifreeze flushes, new mufflers, etc… what a scam!
you should see the zephyr body kit for the prius!!🤩🤩🤩
the new prius is such a good looking car ! they did an incredible job
Finally, it sure took em a lot of time to get to this point! 😄
@@johnnypovdrives indeed !
except that out of reach volume knob
Hideous looking headlights and you think that looks nice
@@Sparkle_2002 ✌😄
I’ve owned my share of sports cars. BMWs, mustang, Camaro, Miata, 370z, and many sport bikes. I also owned a 2011 Prius. That car is still one of my favorites. Actually fun to drive, great handling, peppy, comfortable, economical, and stupid reliable. People don’t give this car enough credit. At this point in life, I’m totally okay having a usably fun comfortable car and saving the hooligan stuff for when I’m on my Aprilia.
Your videos are honestly amazing man! And compared to other car reviewers who take 20-30 minutes just to talk about random stuff, you make them really simple and don’t waste any time at all getting straight to the point. I also am just asking if you could potentially review a Chevy suburban? You can wait until the 2025 version comes out, or just do the 2023 version. But anyways, you’re probably one of my favorite car reviewers tbh!
Thanks so much! Exactly why I started this CZcams channel, no time to listen to all the gibberish yet want to know everything about cars. I'd love to review the Suburban, but it's not easy to get one here in Europe, especially if you want an American spec. Maybe I should start working on my US network and come over to do some car reviews over there. It's going on my to do list! ✌️😄
Johnny, i absolutely LOVE your videos and the style of it. No talking and bullsh*tting, just getting right to the point. Even with humor. Its much more fun than sering someone standing and talking.
Its like checking out new (and sometimes ridiculous) cars with your best pal having a blast 🎉
Thank you so much, that's one of the best compliments I've had. What you describe is exactly what I was hoping to achieve with this method of presentation. 🥰
@@johnnypovdrives Hello, how much does a Prius with all-wheel drive cost for this model, also do a review...
@@stones4879 thanks! 🙏🙏
You have to love this type of review. No boring descriptions of what we are looking at. Simple and effective. I would only take a bit longer, so that we can see all the details without having to pause the movie. Other then that, is 5 stars! Thanks!
Prius nowadays looks way better than modern BMWs 😭
What is wrong with this world!
Always that one 🤡 that has to say something bad about bmw lmao. Mad you can’t afford one of the new ones huh 😭😭
even toyota and hyundai rivals bmw and mercs in terms of stylish looks...its crazy.
@@XxWe8Drum8HarderxX i can't afford a Bentley either. And somehow Bentley doesn't have to look like shit.

@@XxWe8Drum8HarderxX Or just that it ACTUALLY DOES LOOK BETTER THAN BMWs.
The Dutch efficiency at its finest. Straight to the subject videos. No time wasting! Great Job!
i love that sleek line of ambient lighting, it gives a subtle but beautiful touch to the interior
This video is INSANE. Super chill, concise and fun. Keep them coming
thanks! Glad you liked it! 🙏
My man taught us everything there is about this car without having to utter a single word! Bravo sir this is genius.
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! 🙏
Excellent format. No talking. Pure facts. Great work. Keep developing your YT channel.
agree...no music either
@@futo For us the car ambient is the best music
Unbelievable how good this car has gotten.
With the way my 540d xDrive chugs Diesel, I'm seriously considering getting a Prius. Had never thought I'd say that, but damn, this car is sexy af.
I know the feeling, I never expected to seriously consider a Prius as a daily drive 😅
It's not really that beautiful. Frankly it's just modern. All cars will be this modern standard. Such as LED bar in the center taillights
@@whatitisnt. for the prius that’s good. considering how it’s never been able to capture a modern style
@@minebros190honestly it’s not just good “for a Prius” it’s one of the best looking cars around it’s range, even better looking than more expensive cars!
@@whatitisnt. You say all cars will be this modern standard and all I am seeing is way too many “modern” cars with mismatched/misplaced looking designs that are just way off looking. So I am assuming basically you are saying they are setting the benchmark, correct?
This is my first video watch of a video on this channel. Love your style of review.
I love this kind of review now, so simple and calm with enough information to get a quick rundown on what the vehicle offer
As a former Prius owner, I would def buy one again. Loved my Prius. Too bad it got totaled last year lol.
Wow that Prius looks amazing!! So much better than before
I'd buy one when I grow up in the future! this new Prius is wonderful!
Best looking Prius ever! ✨
i really love these quiet reviews. very calming. continue

Thank you, glad you like the no talking POV style! 🙏
In some weird way it actually looks like a Lamborghini of some kind, ofcourse it isn't and if you look longer then 1 second you see it, but I like it so much!
It does. I even looked it up. Check the front of the Lamborghini Lanzador!
I really like your silent style of video by the way, keep doing what you're doing and stay strong.
that was a great review many thanks
Wow... LOVE the quiet presentation. Good job introducing us all to this cool car.
Thanks!
YES I'd buy one.
Thanks for watching, glad you like my video style!
can it self-charge the battery or we have to plug it to a charger? thanks for great video
Big ups for the Devin the Dude playing on the radio. Been considering a new prius because it looks like they finally got it right.
3.2l/100km?!? And it looks THIS good?!? Sign me up
Crazy right 😄
I wish it looks like this 20 years ago..
That would be something! 🛸
wow it's really fast and fun video for introducing Prius!, Thank you!
What did you film the in-car POV with?! Amazing work.
it looks nice ! I hate the old version but the new one is very beautiful !
Johnny, what a quick and efficient review. No BS.
I believe the rear center white taillight is a fog light actually and glows sharp red when turned on.
Btw I noticed a little bit of dirt on the top of the engine - an animal visitor most likely. They like to get warm and cozy between the engine cover and the bonnet insulation.
thanks, you sure pay a lot of attention while watching, love that! There's a lot of stone martens here, so probably one of those!
whoa i just saw this channel man keep up this content is awesome 😍
love the silent review, thanks for the content
Who broke prius's heart?
This is absolutely fantastic review! Thank you for that! On the other hand, the build quality of Prius seems like it doesn’t justify its price.
Great video enjoyed every second !
your video, video any sort of vocal commentary, hits a clear home run. Well done!
I find this yellow color pretty amazing
It really is! 🫶
Wow, so many questions answered without a word. What a great review! I got the best feel for this car of any other review. One thing I've never understood though are all the remarks people make that test drive Toyota hybrids is how they are "not a fan" of the hybrid CVT sound. I mean, the CVT itself is silent. It's just the engine sound being throaty and building in voracity as the speed increases. Many describe this as "droning." I don't get it. I own a Gen 8 Camry hybrid that sounds and performs much like this Prius. Maybe not "quite" as fast as your Prime there, but just as fast as the standard 23 Prius. I think it sounds awesome when I get on it. Nobody seems to complain about the sound of an airplane, or a boat, or snowmobile or jet ski when they take off. No gears are required on them just as no gears are required on a hybrid. Imagine being on an airliner and as it takes off pinning you in your seat wishing you could hear it "rowing" through the gears. Not likely. You just enjoy it for what it is and are wowed by it. People need to wrap their head around new technology and appreciate and enjoy it for what it is. Change is good sometimes. But thank you for a GREAT review. 😊
Thank you for the kind words! Nice way of putting it, you make me appreciate the CVT concept a bit more, I compare it to a classic gear box and that might not be the best way. Guess we just tend to like most what we're used to. Love this comment, thanks!
I have to comment on this as well. I am a toyota hybrid owner and I think they should have worked harder to make the engine less noisy. It IS annoying sometimes. However, that is not the fault of the "CVT". (e-CVT is actually only a virtual CVT and is mechanically absolutely different). There are engineering reasons behind this. And a fair bit of psychology as well actually.
People (not only laymen, car folks as well) look at the concept of a gearbox from a completely wrong angle. Internal combustion piston engines are inherently limited in their operation. They cannot go from zero to (say) 30 000 rpm. This is the only reason clutches and multiple-ratio gearboxes had to be invented - to compensate for the ICE deficiencies.
Fun sidenote - watch how steam locomotives accelerate from standstill. The steam piston engine CAN start from zero revs, but it is pretty harsh. Once it is moving, it only has one available gearing ratio, since the axle is the crankshaft basically (and the gear ratio is given by the wheel diameter). You can emulate this in an older MT car - just put the first gear in with the engine off and THEN start to crank it. It will start moving by using the starter motor and once it fires up, you go. Hardcore offroaders actually do this on purpose in extremely specific situations.
I am simplifying here, but the way toyota devised their hybrid system allows the ICE to be sort of disconnected from the driven wheels. The ratio is not fixed.
The engine is noisy because it is naturally aspirated and has to spin quickly. NA angine is torque-limited and the only way to achieve higher power (for given displacement) is to increase revs. (this is something a turbocharged engine can overcome, as it can increase torque by adding boost so it does not need higher revs to achieve higher power. Also a turbo serves as a sound muffler by itself, which helps).
In my older Honda or BMW, when I needed to overtake, I would go from fifth to third and pedal to the metal. Was it noisy? It was. Admittedly, it was a much nicer sound then a toyota hybrid produces under full or moderate power. But the principle applies the same.
So yes, toyota hybrids are sort of noisy. Is it because of the CVT? No not really.
Toyota hybrids are noisy because toyota developers know that most of their customers can tolerate it and some maybe do not care. They probably even calculated that making the engine quieter would be too expensive and there would not be enough new customers to compensate for the costs.
It's just that our cars have been doing the 1-2-3-4-5 since always and people got absolutelly used to it, attached even. Maybe we like it the same way we like music, I suppose.
As EVs demonstrate, the art of shifting gears will soon be made obsolete.
(Oh by the way, even EVs DO NEED multiple-ratio gearboxes to broaden their capabilities - just look at Porsche Taycan and Mercedes AMG - they use 2-speed transmissions for their e-motors).
@@otomoravec1732 thanks for your contribution, loved it! And I agree, I am attached to the gearing sounds, learned to like it I guess. 😅
broo .. u are doing perfect reviews .. this is all i need to know :)
nice video I like this super calm and informative video great job

To bad toyota prius are not distributed in my country.
I would definitely buy this prius .
The volume control would be in a good position for a passenger to touch.
Ah yes, maybe that’s why they put it there. And the driver is supposed to use the steering wheel controls. Good insights! 👌😄
yeah. That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen on the "entertainment screen". I wouldn't buy a Prius based off that aspect alone
@@klynch572 somebody is getting fired over that volume button, I can feel it! ✌😄
Hello Johnny!
Really scratching my head wondering what camera you’re using to take this video.
Thank you for Amazing details🔥💯
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Toyota truly is the Pioneer in hybrid technology, because they did the homework right
They were so far ahead of the competition 👌
1500 patents for EV…. They will dominate sales once again
Not only that, Prius is always,from the first gen, the most reliable hybrid! Period.
@@christopherconcept926 time will tell! 🤞
@@johnnypovdrives do you recommend going for an older gen like 4th gen
I'm really considering this as my next car in the future. I currently have a 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Limited Hybrid and it was one of the better looking hybrids during that time with a more normal dash layout and on the higher end on MPG. No issues so far and plan to keep for a good while until it's the right time to trade up. Toyota really has done a great job on the Prius design wise and performance. I'm quite impressed.
Good video! I am not a Prius fan, but I'd actually consider one of these.
Brh the yellow one is gorgeous daaaaaaaamn❤️❤️❤️ yellow looks sooo cool on the new prius❤️ driving the new prius must be so satisfying 🥺🥺
It was, glad you like this color! 🙏🙏
É lindo isso é inegável!!!!😍
✌😄 Adoro!
That is one nice looking Toyota. I really like the clean dashboard. It's a shame that it is too small for our family. I had a Prius Plus, but I just switched it to a bigger Volvo last summer.
Holy crap. Priuses again looking 20 years ahead.
Their best one yet 👌
Wow such a quality video and a great review without even talking...
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
I love Prius! When I was in High School back in 2012 the "uber" around our island are mostly this model! I love the 2012 Prius especially the light blue color. I've always dreamed to have 1 because it has a really nice interior, and it just looks sleek to me hahaha
Brilliant
Thanks! 🤓
What camera setup are you using ? Thanks a lot !
Nice vídeo bro, and it reached Brazil!
its eCVT, quite differet technology, only named like that to be more familiar
I don’t really know. But it still is a variable transmission, right? Rpm going up to a certain point and then the variable size wheels & belt take care of the acceleration, causing the whining noise? Or what is the sound we’re hearing when accelerating?
No belts or hydraulic pumps in this one, it uses planetary gears.
Here's a very thorough explanation of e-CVT: czcams.com/video/O61WihMRdjM/video.htmlm
It's a planetary gear set, paired with 2 electric motors and another gear that connects them to the ICE and wheels, it's like a differential. The most reliable transmission design you can get is that one. @@johnnypovdrives
@@johnnypovdrives In a Serial Hybrid there's no mechanical connection between the ICE and the wheels, there's a Motor/Generator conected to the Crank Shaft (MG1) and a Motor/Generator connected to the Wheels (MG2), so the ICE generate Ellectricity through MG1 then throuh Wires and Power Controll it's sent to MG2. That why when you step on the pedal, ICE wil Rev up, depending on how much you step on it, and maintain RPM untill you release the throttle. Now the HSD (Hybrid Synergi Drive) is a Serial/Parallel Hybrid, so it got a Planetary Gearset called the Power Split Device, so it can run in serial or parallel mode.
And B-Mode is to engage Engine breaking, for steep decends, it will use the drag in the ICE to help breaking, it does not increase Regerative Breaking.
There's some good videos on these topics.
Having said that, good video.
With another Powetrain this awsome Car could have been a hot Celica.

The Toyota Prius is a popular hybrid car known for its fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness. The car has been around since the late 1990s and has gone through several redesigns and updates since then. The Prius is a great choice for those who want to save money on gas and reduce their carbon footprint. Its sleek design and advanced technology make it a top pick for environmentally conscious drivers. The Prius also has a reputation for being reliable and low-maintenance, making it a practical choice for everyday use.
