Special thanks to our Patroeons for their support of the channel! Prius or Model 3?
PRIUS WITHOUT A Question .TESLA IS A JOKE
My wife and I are going to be new car shopping very soon and we live in an apartment that doesn’t have any sort of plug-in facility and the only place that we could plug-in with relatively close distance to where we normally are is my work so a Tesla would not work for us. So definitely would go for the Prius.
Not M3. I was seriously thinking of getting the Ioniq 5, but when I saw the 2023 Prius at the LA Auto Show last year, I switched to the Prius. It's been a year and I'm now a proud owner of a 2023 Prius Prime XSE Premium in blue. Picked it up two months ago and have only spent about $10 in gas since. I love it!
Prius for people don't have a charger at home.
I've put 15K on mine so far. I've grown SO insanely tired of the complaint about the steering and cluster. Even the view shown in this is just ridiculous. Unless you are sleeping while driving you would NEVER see this as shown. And when you look at the say he is setting at the 3:00 mark the steering wheel is like a foot off from his lap. It's designed to be lower. I'm a car guy. I've owned a 3000GTVR4, Corvette, and currently have a 911. I've worked in the power train industry for 18 years. But when you have a hybrid (and this is my first) there is a reason for the gauge cluster to set this way. It is because you do find yourself glancing down very frequently to monitor the power band you are in. This is not the same thing as RPMs. If you haven't driven a hybrid this is completely lost on you, as it would have been before I purchased this car. But, because you do care about mileage to some degree, you look down to see where you are on the power band to adjust to maximize the mileage. A simple adjusting of a pound or two can send it from 25MPG to 75MPG. So you have the cluster setting in a place where it is easily usable to do this. AND IT WORKS WELL! You can see everything great. The steering wheel is a smaller diameter and allows for easier viewing and placement. I love the car so far. I did a lot of research before buying it. And I've been happy with it so far.
Thanks for this info. How do you adjust the power band? Is it by de/accelerating? The concept was understood but I couldn't imagine how it is done.
@@ermahgawd3889 The engine does the heavy lifting. The motor helps, and completely takes over as less power from acceleration is required. So if you are keeping a steady speed the motor will run and the engine will kick off. This is all based on the power requirements. So if you are accelerating the engine will kick back on. But it is so smooth you can't feel it. There is no starter in a hybrid. So there is no sudden jolt.
@@miltonhayek2494 Thank you for taking the time. I think I understand it better.
Reviews like these are normally useless, as they never do any longterm daily life testing.
@@flemmingsorensen5470 It's hard to get a long term review. I thought about doing one now that I have winter weather to talk about with the AWD.
Drove this. 5'8. Gauge cluster being blocked by the wheel was not a problem with seat adjustments. Afterwards it was perfect. and I preferred it to any cluster lower-than.
I love how great you showed us the new Prius thank you. Dude you have a calm a relaxed voice that made the video go by so smooth.
I have a 2024 Prius XLT and I have no problem with the instrument panel steering wheel or interior at all in fact I have no complaints about the car
I got an XLE AWD two weeks ago and love it so far. Wireless charger works great with no case. And I keep the steering wheel low and can see the entire dash screen fine.
I've had mine for several months. I'm so tired of the cluster talk. This is a BS issue. You know this after setting in the car for about five minutes. Both my wife and I use the car with no visibility issues.
@@miltonhayek2494 This is my biggest worry I have taken from reviews. Would you say the cluster is height-dependent or does it really not matter once you've adjusted the seat/steering wheel properly?
@@SLone3251 Once you adjust the wheel it doesn't matter. The steering wheel is a smaller diameter so that it won't cram your legs. Once adjusted you can easily see over and to the entire cluster. Which is a great asset in a hybrid. As I said. My wife is 5'. No issues seeing the cluster. I honestly feel like some of these reviewers are laying down to get the shot. It's so annoying. I'm glad you asked. It's an amazing car. I'm at Costco right now. It'll cost me about $22 to fill up for the week. I prefer driving this over my 911 for a daily driver. Of course not the power. But still plenty.
@@miltonhayek2494 Great insight from an owner. Thank you.
@@SLone3251 If you want to see a cost breakdown search for "Prius v Tesla Milton". I made the spreadsheet when I was shopping. It goes over the costs not talked about in other places.
I love my 2023 Prius. I've got almost 10k miles on it (bought back in March) and it's been awesome. I get 60 MPG regularly in city driving. The main issue I have with it is the road and wind noise at highway speeds. It's super dependent on the road quality, when you're driving on a bad road it's pretty darn loud. I also wish the gauge cluster was more customizable, it's too cluttered imo. The placement of the cluster doesn't bother me at all and I think works pretty well
Which trim you got? I cant decide between LTD and XLE.
@@daftsapienXLE with the pano roof and 12.3 inch infotainment screen.
I’d get the limited if I were you, i really wish I had the better sound system and cooled seats.
I got my 2024 Prius xle AWD last week. I love it. Happy to see my car everyday. It’s a good looking car. I have no issues with steering wheel. Maybe I’m too short. lol. wireless charger doesn’t work well. Specially with iPhone. It works with android no problem.
Same issue I experienced- didn’t work with my iPhone but worked with my wife’s droid
What is the problem exactly with wireless charging? Are you telling me it’s best to just go with the LE trim?
@@daftsapien haha. I don’t know. I give up on wireless charging. XLE trim still the best. Unless you don’t care about leather seats, heated seats and heated steering wheel.
@@daftsapien It is very phone case dependent, iPhone works just fine if I take it out of the case, keep it in the case, nope, not great at all.
In my 2023 Prius with my iPhone in the Apple Clear Case, I found the wireless charger would stop because the phone heated up too much. However, ther are two USB-C outlets in the console box and a nice turrnel for them to reach the phone slot. I now just use those to charge the phone in the slot.
Thanks for video. Are you able to remove the rear headrests?
Prius AWD with the most hp? Whats it like to get in and out of? Hard on the head and knees? Can on replace stering wheel with yoke stye to see front display?
The steering wheel blocking the dash maybe cause by the wheel is pull too far out. I been driving my 2023 limit with steering wheel push closest to dash for almost three mouths now and never has an issue with the dash been block, narrow front view or A pillar blocking the view.
excellent review! one thing i've heard is the reduced headroom/visibility in the driver's seat compared to the old version. is this an issue/deal breaker?
Front seat headroom is ok for me at 6’1” but rear seat headroom is pretty compromised
The rear visibility is significantly reduced compared to prior Prius models (which were exceptional), however if you go for a higher trim with the digital mirror it certainly more than compensates for this (as well as compensate for lack of rear wiper). I was a bit unsure of the digital mirror initially, but once I got used to it, it’s been great. 👍🏻
I'm from Korea and interestingly,
I've watched reviews about Prius basically from Korea and Japan.
what people say about the dash is completely different from what people from the west say.
Basically, we from asia find the dash very useful as it sort of acts as an HUD and people didn't complain about the visibility as it was excellent.
I myself also had a test drive session and found it pleasant to look at.
I’ve got a 2021 Prius XLE and I love it. I like the design and have no complaints about anything. I also have the smaller rims which are nice, more rubber and smoother ride. Can’t really justify getting the ‘23 although it looks cool.
GREAT REVIEW MAN! honestly one of the best i’ve seen on this car. maybe the best. Keep it up! (it’s just “regardless”)
Thanks 🙏
I just bought 2 months ago mine at mexico. Ita si the premium one but here dont have all those benefits. However its great but IT has a lot of bad vibrations at the board and between the roof
Does the fwd windshield A pillars create.blind spots from left to right?
For me, it did.
Love the look. Not sure i am thrilled about Toyota lowering the vehicle 2 inches. My 2015 kept scraping our driveway pulling in and out and going up slopes around town. How does it navigate with a few inches of snow? I also paid $23k for my 2015 with average of 60mpg, not sure its worth the inflated price now.
What do you mean the wireless charger doesn't work?
What is the road noise like inside?
What color was the car you tested?
At least now the Prius doesn't look like a Dork-mobile anymore, I actually work like to purchase one!
I like the new Prius
Same 💯
So if I’m a 350 pound dude 5-11 would the space be a bit small? It looks small
Yeah might be a bit tight
Is the new Prius hard to get into and out of?
Irregardless is not a real word
Yes, irregardless is recognized by many dictionaries as a real word. And although recent online discourse may make it appear that this word is a new development, it's not. In fact, it was added to Merriam-Webster's unabridged edition back in 1934, and it has been in use for centuries.

ive never once been embarrassed hopping in my 2007 prius, if anything im better for driving it. Less money more gas mileage
Ditto with my 2008 Prius Tspirit Hybrid (UK). Been driving it for over 10 years and I can't find another vehicle remotely as reliable or trouble free as this vehicle - though the 5th Gen Prius PHEV is looking like the logical replacement for my existing car. No matter what anyone thinks, I've had the last laugh - saved literally thousands of pounds in fuel bills over the last 10 years and my 2nd Gen Prius (doubtlessly over-engineered back in the day) has been astoundingly trouble free at 155k miles so far - and it's my daily commuter. Still on the original drivetrain too, including the original traction battery.
@@datathunderstormI'm embarrassed for people that drive their big lifted pick up trucks only getting 10mpg at best to their Walmart runs
Why ruin the front with that ugly plate that most will not use?
Nice. These look cool!
Now if Mazda made their lineup all Hybrid this thing would have a problem. The interior is YAWN on this Prius. Exterior looks great. Interior, yawn
Sounds like a lot of interior and road noise. That's my number one issue with cars. Sold my old Honda Civic after least than a year, strictly because of intolerable road nose. I could hear every single bump and crack on surface streets and highways. Switched to my first Prius, and I was ecstatic!!
Yes, amazing that Toyota made a good looking Prius. Jeff Dunham needs to come out with a new joke about the Prius good luck with that. 😂 Would buy on if in the market. How does it go into neutral for car wash?
wireless charger doesnt work? Can you elaborate?
Our 2024 Prime does not have the wireless phone charger. But, I do know that the cars that are equipped with the feature will not charge all mobile phones. It's not a fault with the charger, it's because some phones just are not compatible with the system. Also, if the phone has a case, that may prevent the charge from getting to the phone.
With careful driving (and no electrical loads, i.e. heat/heated seats etc.), we can get over 80Km on a charge. We've had the car for two months and put 1,750+ Km on it so far. And, a third of the dealer fill-up is still in the tank. Gas here costs far more than hydro, actually, 2/3's more. With our daily driving we figure we'll save $ 1,600+ a year in fuel costs.
@@TomLawlor-iq6gm nice! thanks for the detailed response
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. Toyota vaporware.
The instrument cluster thing is so overblown, unless you decide you wanna drive laying down you’ll always be able to see the cluster
Very beautiful car
Indeed
Toyota's new 5th generation Prius has undergone a major change in appearance, making it even cooler. It looks like a coupe-style sedan.
Because the front pillars are large, the top of the instrument panel is deeper than the previous model, making it difficult to see the bonnet and the tip of the body. The rear seats feel a little cramped due to the low seating position.
Power performance has been significantly improved compared to the previous model. The hybrid system is now in its fifth generation and has improved driving force in the practical rotation range. Improved power performance makes it easier to drive, and fuel efficiency has also improved.
Good news (prediction) has arrived.
A derivative model of the current Prius is scheduled to be released. The car name in Japan is "Prius α".
A station wagon-like minivan (overall height 1,545mm).
It is slightly larger than a sedan except for its overall width, offering good visibility and ease of driving.The rear seats are spacious, and three-row seating is available.The rear has power sliding doors on both sides.
The powertrain is a 2-liter hybrid and a 1.8-liter hybrid. It appears that a 1.8-liter hybrid will be available for the first time for the general public. The 1.8 liter has less power than the 2 liter at 140 HP, but the fuel efficiency is excellent and seems to exceed 70 MPG.
I will report further information as soon as I catch it.
Great car ! Good job Toyota
💪
It's a shame uts so fukin overpriced,
Fuck you buy dacia be happy save your money noob
3:25 “Irregardless” ⁉️👎
I am looking at getting a Prius Prime ot a Tesla. the beginning of 2025. On the Prius I like the gas and electric. On the Tesla I like the self driving car. Still thinking.
3:30 ... completely IRREGARDLESS? ... 😂
How tall are you, sir?
6'1"
Here in uk don’t think is any good plug in hybrid as cost over £4 for charge it and just for 40 miles no much savings maybe good for some country if cheap electric and also two batteries one hybrid and one for plug in which very expensive if you need after warranty I will wait for Corolla saloon if coming out I think much better than plug in as i said you don’t save much and hassle to charge it every night as I working taxi driver
Non commercial drivers / owners will love it. This particular 5th Gen Prius has not been designed as an Uber Minicab duty vehicle, hence the near Ferrari looks. The Corolla has taken over the duties of general Uber Taxi Cab in the UK. This is also great as a plug-in in the UK - but it's designed primarily to be charged overnight at home - especially with its slow 3.3kW/h CSS charging capability. That's 3.5 hours for a full charge from empty.
You'll ideally charge this on a lower overnight home tariff where it will cost as little as 9p per kW/h - from empty, you'd be looking at a little over £1.00 at most - not £4.00 per charge - unless you're using a public charger - and they tend to be very expensive and not good value for money in the UK.
In my opinion, £1.00 for 30 miles (winter) to 50 (summer) miles for your commute is an unbelievable bargain.
That's about £5.00 or probably less per week commuting costs (assuming you CAN get to work and back with one charge (mine is a daily 34 mile round trip commute).
With home charging, that's about £20.00 per month charging costs (exclusively for commuting that is). I presently buy premium fuel for my ancient 2008 Prius every 21 days to fill the 45 litre tank - last bill was £70.00.
That would be £15.00 for the three weeks commuting in the 5th Gen Prius PHEV (a.k.a. Prime) using a suitable home charging overnight tariff.
I'd be saving about £50.00 every month in fuel costs in the UK by charging it every night.
@@datathunderstorm I don’t know maybe you have 70% off for electric mine will be £4 for charging and don’t have less tariffs for night I pay 41 pence per kWh so will be 13.5x41=over £5 no way you save any money over hybrid car and no hassle for charging it and you don’t know if electricity go up again so no for me if it was £25000 maybe but not £40000 no way
Irr-Regardless is not a word
Yes, irregardless is recognized by many dictionaries as a real word. And although recent online discourse may make it appear that this word is a new development, it's not. In fact, it was added to Merriam-Webster's unabridged edition back in 1934, and it has been in use for centuries.
@@mariansilliman842 Recognized by “many” but not all. If it’s correct than why do we have the word “regardless”?
Hiding the cluster behind the steering wheel, is just dumb. Hitting your head getting and out is deal breaker. I’m keeping my old 2015 Prius. Still seeing 46-49mpg.
The car is way too low.
Nothing worst if ya can't afford it don't blame car
#glovebox also
The Prius didn't peak in high school.
#sexycomputermouse
They made this too sporty and unpractical to appeal to the typical Prius customer, yet it’s still not cool enough for the people that say it’s cool to actually buy one.
I always thought my 2014 Prius was cool and still do. And, I still use my Prius to sleep in on long trips.
Also... I really want lower horsepower and more mpg. No need for fasta-fasta.
Never thought I'd hear "cringe" used in a car review let alone over used.
worse thing for me is the headliner isn't black OEM.... tired of light headliners
I have a feeling Toyota originally planned for a yoke with this heads up display. Once they decided on a traditional steering wheel then the heads up display got obstructed.
This guy says a couple words that are not quite right. For example, what is "irregardless" ?? Not very good english....
It means regardless; irregardless might be a little antiquated but does in fact exist in the dictionary and has been used for centuries.
I liked the range of the batteries of the Pry-us Pry-me I would never pay for more battery. They need to get the price down on these coz without the rebates they make no sense. The instrument cluster is indeed cringe on the new cars. Yikes. What was Toyota thinking?
The real deal-killer tho' is no CD player the Subaru has it this doesn't so will be switching to a gasoline-based Subaru this coming year. Too bad... Toyota had it totally nailed down with the old Prime they should have stuck with it.
CD player? LOL why not just ask for an 8 track?
😂@@jayson657
It's called technological evolution. Even though my 2008 Prius Tspirit (UK) has a 6 CD changer, I already have ALL my music in digital format, so I can listen to it on my iPhone or use an old iPhone 5S as an iPod connected to the Prius via an auxiliary audio cable. Shame I cannot integrate Apple Car Play into my ancient 2nd Gen Prius - and yes, I'm over 60 years old by the way.
This guy is not capable of doing a decent review on any car, let alone the this Toyota Prius.
lol I think over 55,000 people would disagree 🤷♂️
It's either i keep my 2020 prius prime or i 'm getting a small gaz car ! Cars are too expensive ,specially hybrid and electric , only good for rich people !
take your "TECHNOLOGY" and shove it
Hot take in 2024 😅
How’s your Yugo running these days?
I never thought I’d want a Prius but I’d definitely take one of these. They hit a home run on looks except for when it comes to the dashboard. I’d rather have a traditional cluster like in the Corolla.

That reply looks like a 1st grader wrote it, was that some weird 3rd world attempt at a rip? You speak in bad to man write foreigner bad write like idiot! 😆😂😜
no dc fast charging, unforgiveable
Toyota did that on purpose. Even the AC charging is limited to 3.3kW/h max. Very wise move. That plug-in traction battery is going to easily last the lifetime of the car. Why do I say that? Toyota do great BMS technology for their vehicle's hybrid traction batteries. This easily explains why my ancient 2008 Prius is still going strong at 155k miles with the original traction battery which is showing negligible degradation after 15 years of continuous use....!!! (Tested by Toyota December 2023).
The plug-in model is designed ideally to be charged overnight in your home garage - preferably on a cheaper overnight tariff for the greatest savings.
Like Toyota's engineering.......But this is still a Girl's car.............Paul
Gas guzzler.
