This is by far the best car efficiency testing channel out there. Straight to the point, well organized and labeled, thorough, easy to interpret and very realistic and well thought out testing.
1st of all, I had to subscribe and like the video - appreciate the time you have invested for such scientific test. Thanks a lot! I have also a question about the consumption displays in the Prius - if you are in pure electric it is clear, but how is calculated if you have 100% battery and switch to HV mode - I heard that both battery energy and fuel is used to decrease the charge level a bit (which is clever as keeping the battery 100% charged for too long is not healthy for battery) - But how the car shows the consumption? Is it showing L/100Km consumed for just parts when engine was running or whole trip in HV mode (which should show very low L/100KM numbers as part of the energy for the trip was used from the battery)? And in that case, is it tracking the electric consumption in the Wh/100km screen even if the trip was done in HV mode? thx!
Thank you :) Toyota plug-in hybrid system works differently to other PHEV cars. In reality HV mode is sth. like "battery hold mode", so the electricity is almost not used. Almost means: not more than in regular Toyota hybrid system. So, if you start the trip with ~95% of the battery, and use the HV mode (not auto HV/EV mode), at finish you will probably have also 95%. As long as you do not use full power of the system of course. We are talking about eco driving. The computer shows electric consumption OR fuel consumption, not both of them, and using the hybrid mode (if I remember correctly, I will check it, remind me please in few days) does NOT lower the showed avg. energy consumption. Let's say: after the 200 km trip, where the first 100 km you drove in EV mode you get 10,5 kWh/100 km, and the next 100 km you drove in HV mode, the showed avg. energy consumption will be still 10,5 kWh/100 km, but the fuel consumption will be calculated from total 200 km distance. Weird, but this is how it works.
@@1001cars Thanks for quick reply, interesting, I will be (hopefully soon) an owner 🙂 so I am trying to get as much info as possible while waiting 😀 I may anyway end up doing some tests myself to understood the consumption displays. Cheers!
First of all, congratulations for this complete and thorough test. Excellent work. I´ve had a doubt for some time now, and haven't been able to clear this: is there a difference in the calibration of the odometer for the versions equipped with both wheel/tire sizes? The theoretical circumference diference between the 17" and 19" combos is about 2%. In such detailed fuel and electricity consumption calculations, this could make some difference, if not accounted by Toyota.
Thank you for your comment. I check real distance and include it into real consumption measured on a petrol station. The distance reported by 19" version was lowered by ~1,5%, but 17" version was too high by around 1%.

I can only congratulate you on the complete and rigorous work on one of the most efficient cars on the market. Thank you
Thank you for your comment! :)
I think the fuel consumption test everyone was waiting for! Very throughout and detailed. Thank you for the good job 👏

The new Prius will be coming to the UK this year.
Great work my friend continue the good work
thank you very much for all this amazing consumption data!!!
Crazy good
Thank you for your video. I was not aware that the 19 inch tires on the Prius dropped the range and miles per gallon that much
Same as every car. Yet they force people to make it less economical to get decent equipment. Go figure

You really address all the variables, this is really excellent scientific work! Congratulations once again!
Nice! Do also the Toyota C-hr highway fuel consumption. It's the second most sold toyota in Europe after Yaris. Kudos!
어마어마한 데이터,수고 많았습니다.
I'd like to see a new Honda Civic tested, as it has the series hybrid model, rather than the series-parallel model of the Toyotas. Thank you
HR-V will be soon :) Civil a little bit later.
Very interesting
