Toyota Prius V 2018 review

- The Toyota Prius V ticks quite a few boxes. It's a hybrid, so it's fuel efficient. It has seven seats, so it's family-friendly. And it's affordable, and comes with lots of safety equipment as standard.
If those things are what gets your motor running, the Toyota Prius V 2018 model could be for you.

Our 2012 has been amazing with our 3 young kids and occasional friends. Does the annual Melbourne to Gold Coast trip under 5LPH. Holds all our camping gear. Larger on the inside than Klugar. Has conservitively saved us $9000 in fuel over our old VZ wagon (12LPH). The best car we've ever owned. Will happily replace the battery in it and when it's 10yo. Still has HUD, Pitch and bounce suspension, 6mm on brake pads, and was the 2nd cheapest p/t 7 seater when we bought it.
I would echo those thoughts. It is not exciting but as a reliable, practical usable family transport for kids, kid's friends and dogs, it does the job with no fuss. It's quick enough in the real world where cops issue speeding tickets and frugal enough to offset the rising fuel prices ... I rent a sports car when I want to go and have fun. The servicing on this is cheaper than my old V6 Toyota too plus the Prius V doesn't eat the tyres :)
Love this car, using since 2014..reliable..economic.. Sometimes lower fuel consumption lower than what the company offer.. Lots of space.. Third row space is better than most SUVs.
Do you still own this car?
@@sandy8447 yes..
@@ajishjoseph How is it? Any issues so far? Is it not nippy enough on motorways? Do you use this car in Australia?
Thanks for the review Matt! A good insight into the Prius V, which I have been curious about now for a while. I get it the whole bland thing that you young fella's don't rate so much, a bit like the old Toyota Avalon - A car for Dame Edna fans, but super reliable. But I gotta tell you, I really do love the Toyota hybrids - Practical, reliable and frugal!! A great piece of Japanese engineering with Toyota reliability. It would be really great if Toyota Australia sold the Hybrid Kluger here in Oz. That would be really amazing I think.
From a servicing point of view, the 2ZR-FXE engine should be very easy engine to service, provided genuine filters and fluids are used with a good quality engine oil (for example, Mobil 1), and looks like even less maintenance under the bonnet to service than the 2ZR-FE engine in my Corolla. The new M20A engine coming soon in the new Corolla should be really cool. I have recently driven my father's 2017 Toyota Corolla Hybrid, and I was really impressed with the handling over my 2011 Corolla Hatchback (albeit, mine has Michelin PS3 tires fitted, ha ha!). Maybe one day I'll purchase a Hybrid Toyota, and yes I am a 40 something dad who has always been a massive Toyota fan, regardless if they are bland or not. Keep up the good work Matt! :-)
Regards,
Nick Bordujenko.
Thanks for the great feedback, Nick. I think you can expect Toyota Australia to make hybrid models more widely available across its model range as time goes on. The next Corolla and RAV4 models will both have hybrid versions, and we can foresee a future where Prius V isn't the only way to get a hybrid seven-seater from Toyota...

"Weird storage area, you can't really fit your phone..."
I put a premium size phone in a similar sized spot on a different Prius... lol
Rennie Ash Ha Yes first my reaction was "jeez, what size phone do you have?" This reviewer must have a compulsion to use storage areas that ONLY match the shape of items. It must be a specific type of OCD. "I don't have an item this shape!"
You can put your phone but you can't put a 132 paged book.
There are actually air vents in the rear it is under the o/s and n/s front seats
Thanks for the reviews of our family oriented station wagons.
Please do us a video comparison for Toyota Wish 1.8cc and Toyota Prius V 1.8cc outline space, boot space, fuel consumption or efficiency, general running costs and durability.
It’s a 5 seater❗️ Japan versions have seats in the trunk.
The custom has only 5 !!! U need to install two seats in the back!!I have Japanese version and it is 5 seater!!
Brazil It’s a 5+2 seater.
In Europe can have a 7 seat version.
Europe Version is a 5+2 seater as well. There isn't even a 5 seat version available over here.
Its sad they are no longer making this
Outa ThisWorld Rip
Have a great day!Thank you!
I knew that this not an American review because they stopped doing the prius v in 2017! I wish that they would briing it back to U.S.
Wow, I just saw it as the video continues on that this 2018 version has the Japanese version. This will be available in the US❗️❓
Are the i-Tech features like adaptive cruise control, assisted parking and sunroof now standard?
I was interested to hear the RAV 4 is coming out in a hybrid in 2019. Is there any more news on that?
thank you very much for reviewing this car now I know. :)
You're welcome!
Cheers

Kinda looks like the Toyota Matrix, doesn't it?
Have anyone got any idea how long the batteries last ant the cost of changing it?
Valid concern, Raymond - though I still see first-gen Prius models running around!
Cheers
Matt Campbell
They last for "the life of the car"
Can anyone tell me which country is he reviewing the car in ?
mark hitman, Sure thing. We're based in Australia. Cheers, Mal Flynn
Sydney, Australia
Can you review the all new 2018 Lexus ES and all new Avalon thank you
Hi Adrian,
We will aim to do the Lexus ES as soon as we possibly can. But the Avalon? Unfortunately we don't get that car in Australia, so unless Toyota can supply one in the US for me to review, we won't be covering it!
Cheers

I had a Prius C back in 2015, I found the hybrid electric drive up to 60kmph a bit gimmicky. Went to trade in/sell, here in WA the dealerships turned me down, they didn’t want the Prius. Nice review but, 👌
Shame you couldn't trade it in - Prius C is a lovely little hatch!
Cheers
Matt Campbell
It's not existing but its fascinating.
How tall are you?
I want to buy hybrid car 🚗, family size is 3 adult and 4 kids
This is a Prius plus not a Prius v
I own a 16.5 prius v since new. average fuel consumption is 4.3L per 100km over 30000km , lower than manufacturer claimed figure.
versitile seating arrangements is another plus for this car. everything else is very ordinary.
I hate the curve at the back
It's not the most graceful line going, is it?

It's like the presenter drew the short straw...and it showed in his lack of enthusiasm in the review. Just saying🤔
Well, I'm not a dad, or a hybrid enthusiast... sorry for showing you my personality!
Cheers
Matt Campbell
Perfectly appropriate reaction & response for the car. His enthusiasm level personified the car to a T. It also perfectly reflected Toyotas clear lack of enthusiasm for its expected customers with this 'new' model. This rear half of this car might possibly the most visually bland, compromised & fudged design currently for sale new.
GazLowe Maybe Tom should have presented it! 😍
Mind you. No one likes a Prius apparently, car dealers wouldn’t pay me a cent for my Prius C! 😅
Correction, new Toyota only looks exciting!
Better get a Toyota Wish instead.
I Drive A Prius V
winter packej
I wish I had the money to buy pruis
Very practical, very efficient….. very dated .. can’t accept the form factor
What's dad about the dad joke?
I'm not a dad so I don't know if it was dad jokish enough.
Cheers

Crusty
As in old?

CarsGuide Technically yea.
It’s still a Prius
It is.
@@carsguide Like 3 of the 10 most reliable cars in 2019 in the US are Prius models ... long term reliability, economical and environmentally friendly.
There is no such thing as a 2018 Prius V...
Raafid Vlogs Your proof?
Levin BZ-R They discontinued the Prius V. When I went to the dealership they told me so. Also if you go to the Toyota website, it’s not there. (At least in the US)
Correct. However, I don't know how the viewer has a V. from what I heard the V was never made into a 7 seater--only the alpha and the plus are. So technically you could still buy a prius alpha or a prius plus from Europe and have it sent to the US, but the V is discontinued as of 2017.@@raafidvlogs
I see it all over the place in San Diego
In Hungary I just ordered a Prius+, coming in 2020 march. Maybe one of the last ones.
