I drove a second gen Prius for 10 years. It was reliable vehicle. It never left me stranded. It never broke down. The battery pack never failed. I put over 200,000 miles on it for work. I made money with it on business trips for mileage reimbursement. On long cross country trips I had to stop for me, not fuel. I had to get out to stretch. I was ranging 557 miles on a tank. After 10 years, I traded it in on a Camry SXE. Today I drive a Tundra. If I had to buy a new sedan and my choices were EV and Hybrid, I would choose the Prius. EVs just are not reliable enough yet.
@@revmatchtv The only reason I traded it in to the dealership is because an air conditioning part failed that was located way up under the dash. Summers here can get to over 100 degrees. A $75 part that was going to cost $1500 in labor to replace. The dash and the computers had to come out to get to the part. So, after 10 years and that many miles it was an easy trade for a new red Camry XSE. The Prius was a good solid car. I do like the new sporty looking Prius, but you will have to pry me out of my Tundra.
I'll be damn if terrorist group figure out how reliable the pruis is and use it as their official military vehicles to fight our US military..... they ready use the Toyota Landcruiser and Hilux truck as their war vehicles to attack our soldiers....
Yes I agree with your experience. My 2002 Prius sedan experienced zero major issue over the 16 years of ownership and my college daughter was driving it as a pass down vehicle when it was flooded during a storm while the daughter was attending class. The Prius sedan had 260K miles when it was totaled and its battery, engine, transmission, suspension and ÁC system still work like new. Amazingly dependable vehicle
@TundraExplorer5.7 I think about it too. However, I do haul lumber and 4x8 sheets of plywood in the Tundra, occasionally. However, when you need a truck it is a pain to find someone with a truck who has time to help you out. Been there. One other thing that comes to mind. My wife drives a RAV4. When we go on trips my wife always says, "Lets go in the Tundra." She feels more secure in the Tundra. She claims it rides better. She likes the roomy cab area. So, I don't think the Prius is in my future.

Thank you. Since I'm a sports car nerd I decided to focus more on the driving experience since that's how I interact with the car. The steering is actually good!
I had a 3rd gen prius, and after a couple of years, I got rid of it just because I didn't like the driving dynamics. Now I am not a sports car enthusiast, but I found that the Camry gave me what I was looking for. This new prius is highly enticing, and considering my trade valuation for the camry, given the used car market, I might just consider a trade-in for this new prius
Fun review, good work, I want one! I hope they won't have huge availability problems. And I'm glad they moved the gauge cluster to in front of the driver.
I'd guess it will be hard to get one early on, but not so hard later. Toyota said they are planning producing about 36,000 for 2023, but can increase the number if there is demand.
@@bafattvahetere I want one too. Yeah, I can wait summer 24' or so when the new Prius got all bugs sorted out for the new Prius. I just not going to buy the first year new model.
They did a nice job on the interior. Physical HVAC a massive plus and good for their audience. Minimalist "gauge" cluster makes sense for the use case and demographic. Only thing I hate is that strange kink off the middle screen to add the volume knob, but at least it's there. At first I thought it should be on the driver side, but then I remembered steering wheel controls. They could have integrated the screen a bit better too, but it's fine.
My local Toyota dealer already added over $10k in Dealer Adjustments. MSRP on the 2023 Prius XLE model is $30,895. After their adjustments and fees it was $44,787.00
Yeah why I hate the dealership last time I went to trade in at a Honda dealer they valued my car at 14k on the paperwork and then the person I was dealing with lowballed me and said the max I could do for your vehicle was 5k. I left no way in hell I was going to continue that conversation
I bought my 2008 Prius brand new I average 50 miles per gallon since I do not do any short trips. I use my bike shopping and going to town. It’s garage kept which I think helps the battery lasts longer, and I have the original battery and it’s a classic if I keep it long enough. I only have 150,000 miles on it should last me another five years before cars can drive themselves then I’ll consider that. Thanks for the review I really like the new style and will consider in the future.
Still driving my 2007 with only 140K miles. Still running strong and never had big issues and never have changed the breaks. I just bought the new Limited and wow !! What an improvement it does drive on it’s own in the freeway. It steers and breaks by it self adapting to all traffic around you. The JBL sound system is incredible compared to the JBL system on my 2007. It’s worth all the money
Now THIS is progress! The first nice looking Prius. I was actually sad when the last one came out because I knew I'd have to see those eyesores everywhere for years to come. This...Hey I'm excited to see them everywhere! BRB should prolly pick up some Toyota stock...
Thanks for the review! 👏🏽 I’m at 190k in my 2007 Prius. Not sure if I should pull the trigger now or try to wait one year for the 2024 Version with more “standard items” you’d pay extra for now
good idea, I would hope the 2024 model will add the keyless entry by just touching the door handle and maybe upgrade that 8 inch middle screen to at least 9.
Even my 2012 (and I AM planning on trying to buy a 2023 when they show up at the dealers) can accelerate more than well enough to merge onto the interstate, pass safely, and so on. No complaints from me (ditto with my 2007 when I had it as well).
Same here. While a bit more power & handling is always welcome (particularly when efficiency remains the same 😉), I have never found the modest power / acceleration / handling to be inadequate of the Prius I have/had. I had a 2006 before, and currently a 2014 Plug In, and they have both been excellent and reliable vehicles. I am on a waitlist for a 2023 Prime. 😎
seriously considering going from a 2011 RX450h into the plug-in (only version sold here in Switzerland and Europe) Prius. Need to hear the JBL system though because I really like the sound (ML) in the Lexus
JBL sounds awesome!! Big improvement from previous models. I have not heard any of the ML sound systems on the Lexus so I can’t really compare but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I’m sure Lexus is above the Prius in every aspect for obvious reasons but I am very happy with my JBL sound. I drove a Tesla a week prior my purchase and I compared the sound on both, I’m impressed on how close they are.
23:28 - Lots of techie things I want from the Limited version (advanced parking, digital rear view mirror, vented seats...) but I love the additional MPG from the XLE version. And how much I can go on a single tank I think is the most important factor. But between the two XLE versions, it's $1400 to go from FWD to AWD and get 2HP more. Is that enough to warrant $1400? Cause now I'm zeroing in on the XLE FWD as much as I was excited to get as much power as I could without going up to the Limited model.
Superb review! Pace of this video is well done. Good job! This PRIUS is bravely done! Sophisticated technology, performance and efficiency alike put on the wheels! My only worry is delivery time for PHEV and color of bodywork: red or white? :-)
Very nice redesign, but getting in and out will be a problem for some because of the raked windshield, low roofline and doors that don't open wide. You will have to awkwardly tilt your head to the side each time. This could get annoying very quickly. Try it before you buy it. Even worse for rear passengers.
15:50 - When you hit the gas (but maybe not from a complete stop). 15:57 is when it appears to hit 60mph - so that's right as advertised. 60mph/7.7 seconds.
Glad I found your channel. Great review. Will probably purchase it in 2 years...as I wait for a few years after the introduction. Why 195s on the wheels is perplexing. Should be 215s.
In my 2015 Prius Plug In, I can go 45 mph all electric without battery charged and 65 mph all electric with battery charged. I don't believe they'd cap the latest Prius (plug in or otherwise) at 25 mph during light pedal press. It would have to be 45 mph at the very least.
I currently drive a 3rd gen in the Midwest. Not sure I buy one again. I been hated on the highway. Before I had RSX type S I get thumbs up. Prius I usually get cut off, water bottle thrown, black smoked, and the birdy. Lol the Midwest. You all enjoy your new Prius folks thats very nice looking.
The new Prius is beautiful. I have two older models, the Hybrid and the Prime. The new one is 2 inches lower and may not be easy tho get for a tall fat man like myself. Here is another bigger problem. Getting hold of my Toyotas was next to finding a unicorn. Worse yet, one was a unicorn with a silver horn (Hybrid) and the other was one with a golden horn (Prime). So good luck trying to get one.
I am now seeing articles by writers claiming the Prius is a let down and should be the flagship of technology for Toyota. They put it down because it is not loaded with tech. I bet you they didn't even drive the Prius. That is acceptable in journalism now. Write an article you know nothing about. I am glad that Toyota is conservative with tech. When I bought my Camry XSE, I got every available tech option one could get in a Camry. Fully loaded. I ordered it that way. Nice features, but to be honest, I didn't use all that tech. Not while I was driving. Some of my friends have bought other brands with the latest tech only to find after six months to a year that latest tech failed or was recalled. If you didn't have the extended warranty it was going to cost over $1,000 to replace. It is not always the best thing to be on the "bleeding edge" of technology. I put 11,000 miles on the Camry, then traded it in for a Tundra.
Great video. I’m just a bit bummed about the cargo space. I love how I can slide things out of my 2009 Prius. This looks more like a trunk. Plus the limited opening of the back doors. That’s unfortunate. I’m assuming cargo will be the same for the Prime.
Did you turn on the upgraded JBL sound system in the Limited? That will drown out some road noise too. Nice review. Very comprehensive for a 25 minute video. Thanks. I have a 2013 Prius V which I love…but I’ll be upgrading to the 2023 Limited. A little bummed about the headroom in the rear but not a dealbreaker…Also I’ve heard the Screen behind the steering wheel may be difficult to see for certain folks but that may be just an individual thing….thanks again.
The JBL is decent. It's pretty typical Toyota JBL which is decent for its price class. If I were buying, I'd choose the XSE as I don't think the Limited has enough extra to justify the huge price premium.
The 2.0 has direct injection. The 1.8 has only port injection. That is the main reason for the power increase. If only Toyota could have added direct injection to 1.8 on earlier generations.
They are using the 2.0 Dynamic Force engine from the Corolla because it's a well-developed motor. It does weight a bit more, but it's a proven engine with port and direct injectors.
@@revmatchtv no issue with that, great engine. I just wonder why Toyota has not added DI to all of the hybrid engines, it is crazy. It is like VW would use port injection only and no turbo.
honestly this is probably the best bang for buck environmentally friendly car until EV's are in the $30-35K range which looks like it will take 3-5 years
I don't remember. This was a couple years ago at the launch. I've driven both the FWD and the AWD version and on dry pavement at least, there is no difference in the way they drive.
Everyone says available January 2023, but I'm now hearing Spring (late) possibly summer. Is this true? I've been on a wait list since July 2022. Im at the top now but only offered 2022s.
@@zoobrizz Oooh, lucky you! What trim did you get? I'm still waiting. The next one in is mine, but I have no idea what it is. I know in the showroom they have a guardian gray Limited. If an LE comes in, I'm going to ask about the limited. I've been saving up a decent down payment. I live on the videos and I really want the limited.
My 2019 Camry SE (non hybrid) averages 35mpg. On the highway I can get 48mpg when I’m not climbing hills. It’s crazy good. I love the new Prius, but even at 57mpg it would take me 20 years to break even with gas savings for the amount I’d have to pay after trading in my Camry. Not worth it at all.
@@zoobrizz Because, Prime has many differences from regular: Price, Trunk Space, Gross Vehicle Weight, MPG, how smoothly moves from EV only to hybrid, how quickly bigger battery charges up, and a dozen other factors. Anyway, looks like that review is already done based on the pinned message.
Nobody is talking about the electric aspects of the car...do you plug it in? Do they still have all that cheap plastic underneath... total cubic cargo space of a 2010 Prius was 50.7 cubic feet what is this total....what else is the big screen for besides GPS I use Waze so is it necessary?
It’s not a plug in. The Prius Prime which is the plug-in version debuts in March. The big screen is for everything except HVAC. All your media and vehicle settings are there. At this launch event, we only had a few hours with the vehicles, so you probably won’t see anything in depth until these press vehicles roll out to the reviewers.
Toyota aims to sell about 36,00 0 in the US this year. I think a large chunk will be in California since that's the biggest market. Toyota sold about 30,000 Priuses last year, but I expect demand will be a little higher too. They have said they will make more if there is demand.
Function follows form here but Toyota recognizes that the world has moved to SUVs, so much of their lineup including the Highlander offers a hybrid version now.
You can get a sense of how loud it is in my highway segment here: th-cam.com/video/aUO1--qHLtk/w-d-xo.html It's not excessive, but high mileage tires are always louder than normal tires. It's quieter than the last generation. I didn't find it offensive personally.
Start watching for it! You are going to see a lot of stories about the folks who invested in EVs that suddenly found themselves stranded during this last winter storm that just blew through for the holidays. The stories are already starting to pop up about EVs that wouldn't charge in this cold or those EVs that did start only found a quarter of their range was available. Hybrid is the way to go. Think about this, you all see those big railroad engines? Those have diesel power plants. Some more than one diesel power plant, that are driving multiple electric motors on the axles. Hybrids! Those work pulling tons of cargo in all kinds of weather. If the government forces me to buy an energy efficient vehicle I will buy a hybrid before I buy an EV.
I drove a second gen Prius for 10 years. It was reliable vehicle. It never left me stranded. It never broke down. The battery pack never failed. I put over 200,000 miles on it for work. I made money with it on business trips for mileage reimbursement. On long cross country trips I had to stop for me, not fuel. I had to get out to stretch. I was ranging 557 miles on a tank. After 10 years, I traded it in on a Camry SXE. Today I drive a Tundra. If I had to buy a new sedan and my choices were EV and Hybrid, I would choose the Prius. EVs just are not reliable enough yet.
200K is pretty solid
@@revmatchtv The only reason I traded it in to the dealership is because an air conditioning part failed that was located way up under the dash. Summers here can get to over 100 degrees.

I am now seeing articles by writers claiming the Prius is a let down and should be the flagship of technology for Toyota. They put it down because it is not loaded with tech. I bet you they didn't even drive the Prius. That is acceptable in journalism now. Write an article you know nothing about. I am glad that Toyota is conservative with tech. When I bought my Camry XSE, I got every available tech option one could get in a Camry. Fully loaded. I ordered it that way. Nice features, but to be honest, I didn't use all that tech. Not while I was driving. Some of my friends have bought other brands with the latest tech only to find after six months to a year that latest tech failed or was recalled. If you didn't have the extended warranty it was going to cost over $1,000 to replace. It is not always the best thing to be on the "bleeding edge" of technology. I put 11,000 miles on the Camry, then traded it in for a Tundra.
That is a Prius I would drive! Looks amazing.
I like the roofline of this thing. Very close to a teardrop.
Can't wait to see these on the road!
I'm not quite ready for a full electric vehicle but this Prius is definitely on my list.
Not a EV. This is a Hybrid. We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person.
Really good review! Thanks.
รอเข้าที่ประเทศไทยอยู่เหมือนกัน มาเมื่อไหร่จัดแน่นอน สุดต๊าซซซซซ
Toyota nailed it, i love it, want one👊🏽😎
Great video. I’m just a bit bummed about the cargo space. I love how I can slide things out of my 2009 Prius. This looks more like a trunk. Plus the limited opening of the back doors. That’s unfortunate. I’m assuming cargo will be the same for the Prime.
2009 Prius: 14.4 cubic ft cargo. 2023 Prius 20.3 to 23.8 cubic ft cargo
No. We had a 2014. The rear end is very close to being the same size.
Its a beautiful car. I always thought the prius was hideous. But this one really looks great. And on top of that you get a 2.0L engine too
Love the look, though not yet ready for a new car. Though the license plate said Texas, looked more like you filmed in So. California?
Really want to know how will It handle in deep snow, if It the rear end has enough power to lightly rotate the car while making a turn ?
The rear motor has 41hp vs 7hp. Will it drift? Probably not, but it should be able to move you through the snow a lot better than the current gen.
Did you turn on the upgraded JBL sound system in the Limited? That will drown out some road noise too. Nice review. Very comprehensive for a 25 minute video. Thanks. I have a 2013 Prius V which I love…but I’ll be upgrading to the 2023 Limited. A little bummed about the headroom in the rear but not a dealbreaker…Also I’ve heard the Screen behind the steering wheel may be difficult to see for certain folks but that may be just an individual thing….thanks again.
The JBL is decent. It's pretty typical Toyota JBL which is decent for its price class. If I were buying, I'd choose the XSE as I don't think the Limited has enough extra to justify the huge price premium.
Looking forward for this as my first car if not the Camry hybrid.
Looks great but have they sorted out the stealing of the cats issue????
Will there be the yoke w/ steer-by-wire option on it?
The 2.0 has direct injection. The 1.8 has only port injection. That is the main reason for the power increase. If only Toyota could have added direct injection to 1.8 on earlier generations.
They are using the 2.0 Dynamic Force engine from the Corolla because it's a well-developed motor. It does weight a bit more, but it's a proven engine with port and direct injectors.
@@revmatchtv no issue with that, great engine. I just wonder why Toyota has not added DI to all of the hybrid engines, it is crazy. It is like VW would use port injection only and no turbo.
How is it climbing up steady steep slopes, my 2009 always seems like it's not going to make it.
Verdaderamente es el auto perfecto, buen trabajo de Toyota, maravilloso.
Toyota is getting better not only in performance and quality, but also in design.
honestly this is probably the best bang for buck environmentally friendly car until EV's are in the $30-35K range which looks like it will take 3-5 years
What's going on with the Camrys? What's there plan on that?
It's about 5 years into its current generation so I'd expect to see the next gen within 2-3 years.
@@revmatchtv 2024 to be exact.
Current gen is from 2018. New gen Camry will be in 2024 as the Accord is all new in ‘23. I’d expect the next gen Camry to drop mid-year ‘23.
Would you say the new Prius has as quiet a cabin as the new Camry?
It’s similar
It belongs in an art museum.
Great Video. Was that the AWD?
I don't remember. This was a couple years ago at the launch. I've driven both the FWD and the AWD version and on dry pavement at least, there is no difference in the way they drive.
How good is the premium audio?
It’s decent. The JBL is much better, but Premium will make most people happy.
electric hybrid ??? how long does it take to charge
Everyone says available January 2023, but I'm now hearing Spring (late) possibly summer. Is this true? I've been on a wait list since July 2022. Im at the top now but only offered 2022s.
We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person.
@@zoobrizz Oooh, lucky you! What trim did you get? I'm still waiting. The next one in is mine, but I have no idea what it is. I know in the showroom they have a guardian gray Limited. If an LE comes in, I'm going to ask about the limited. I've been saving up a decent down payment. I live on the videos and I really want the limited.
The new Prius looks so cool like an exotic sports car while all other EVs look like spaceships built for aliens from other planets.
😂
where did you say is the spare tire hidden?????
My 2019 Camry SE (non hybrid) averages 35mpg. On the highway I can get 48mpg when I’m not climbing hills. It’s crazy good. I love the new Prius, but even at 57mpg it would take me 20 years to break even with gas savings for the amount I’d have to pay after trading in my Camry. Not worth it at all.
17:59 - Not one, but two older model Prius' drive past you.
Could you please also review the 2023 Prius Prime and compare it with regular hybrid. Appreciate it.
Why?
@@zoobrizz Because, Prime has many differences from regular: Price, Trunk Space, Gross Vehicle Weight, MPG, how smoothly moves from EV only to hybrid, how quickly bigger battery charges up, and a dozen other factors. Anyway, looks like that review is already done based on the pinned message.
Nobody is talking about the electric aspects of the car...do you plug it in? Do they still have all that cheap plastic underneath... total cubic cargo space of a 2010 Prius was 50.7 cubic feet what is this total....what else is the big screen for besides GPS I use Waze so is it necessary?
It’s not a plug in. The Prius Prime which is the plug-in version debuts in March. The big screen is for everything except HVAC. All your media and vehicle settings are there. At this launch event, we only had a few hours with the vehicles, so you probably won’t see anything in depth until these press vehicles roll out to the reviewers.
There is a Plug in Option that Only Gives 40 Miles On Electric, I think that is the
XLE AND LTD VERSION
A must have hybrid car, toyota hit a home run with this beautiful car
I don't like that they switched from nickel batteries to lithium in the xle awd hybrids
Can you open the trunk from inside..??
16:13 Old Prius just pass by around 80mph
Raging taxi
How hard will it be to get one? Order now to get it 9 months later like the rest of the Toyota hybrids?
Toyota aims to sell about 36,00 0 in the US this year. I think a large chunk will be in California since that's the biggest market. Toyota sold about 30,000 Priuses last year, but I expect demand will be a little higher too. They have said they will make more if there is demand.
We ordered three months ago. We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person.
Really beautyfull, plus this video is an "A Plus"!
Thank you. Still wondering if I should get a Tesla or Prius. Can’t wait to test drive.
Does it have CarPlay or Android Auto?
It has both AA and Car Play. Wireless at least in XLE and above. I'm not sure if it's wired on LE or not.
We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person. And no anxiety
@@zoobrizz I got my Prius Limited last week 🖤 it
I think Prius went from Form follows function to looks.....the windshield is so sleek it affects headroom....both front and rear.....
Function follows form here but Toyota recognizes that the world has moved to SUVs, so much of their lineup including the Highlander offers a hybrid version now.
it looks beautiful and muscular compared to before i love the look so much
Nice review. This car offering interests me. I am sure they will do a Prime model of the 2023 Prius.
The Prius Prime will debut spring 2023.
I heard that the interior noise and road noise are excessive.
You can get a sense of how loud it is in my highway segment here: th-cam.com/video/aUO1--qHLtk/w-d-xo.html
It's not excessive, but high mileage tires are always louder than normal tires. It's quieter than the last generation. I didn't find it offensive personally.
The first thing you need to do is add wider tires even just 205s if they will fit.
We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person.
6:00 from this angle it looks like a lambo.
I'm 6ft 2in- does this Prius have good front leg room for a tall person?
I drove it with someone who is 6’4” and he was ok. Massive amounts of leg room, but his head did brush the roof slightly.
@@revmatchtv Thanks. I will go to a local Toyota dealer and sit in it as soon as their available.
they're not their
Love it! .. Great job TOYOTA ❤
Amazing design and beautiful shapes. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵👍
"Hint" of maybe the next MR2🤔
combine mr2 anf prius into a mainly prius type of car with freepiston and rear setats facing rear
Where do you guys live? I don't see any in the US so far.
They are not at dealers quite yet in the US. Toyota has said they will arrive in the first quarter of 2023.
@@revmatchtv All other models arrived except Prius. Do you know what's wrong with it? Thanks!
@@theky2234 You should talk to a dealer. I have no info on that. I only know what Toyota publicly announced a few weeks ago.
@@revmatchtv I will try again. I have never got a clear answer. It made me feel there is a secrete. Anyways, thanks for your reply!
Yabut a two-door with a pickup bed is what seniors are needing.
Its a shame it will never come to Australia
Is the new prius a plug in hybrid?
Not yet. The Prius Prime, which is the plug in version will have a separate launch this spring
The front looks like a samurai mask that has a growling tiger face. Maybe it's just me...
Front windshield is pushed back too much, reducing visibility.
I had no issues with visibility. My friend who is 6'4" found head space a little tight, but had no complaints with blind spots.
Nope. We just picked ours up last week. They are even nicer in person. Front visibility is great.
Still no signals in the Sideview mirrors… Ridiculous
It looks like the Prius and Tesla had a baby. 😂
Start watching for it! You are going to see a lot of stories about the folks who invested in EVs that suddenly found themselves stranded during this last winter storm that just blew through for the holidays. The stories are already starting to pop up about EVs that wouldn't charge in this cold or those EVs that did start only found a quarter of their range was available. Hybrid is the way to go. Think about this, you all see those big railroad engines? Those have diesel power plants. Some more than one diesel power plant, that are driving multiple electric motors on the axles. Hybrids! Those work pulling tons of cargo in all kinds of weather. If the government forces me to buy an energy efficient vehicle I will buy a hybrid before I buy an EV.
Had a chance to sit inside. I'm 6ft tall and my head touches the front seat ceiling.
