Toyota ditched this model in 2017 to focus on the Rav 4 Hybrid. I am looking at a good, used fuel efficient, roomy, and technologically advanced vehicle. This car keeps popping up. It checks all the boxes. I will only focus on the 2017 ( last production year) five trim because of the lighting package. Thanks for the excellent review, which is very detailed with some sprinkles of humor. Thank you again.

[@jakobharris2719]

By far the most thorough review I've seen on this car.

[@MAGIKru]

Big thank for this video. It is very detailed and informative. Such usefull videos are very rare nowadays.

I really enjoyed your tour of the Prius V and a review of its many features in different trim levels. I especially like that you gave the prices of each model at the end of this video.

[@finback2005]

This is a very in depth review. Great work!

I leased in April 2016 in Ontario a Prius V. I am 82 years old and a retired engineer with experience in the German automotive industry and aerospace industry which brought me to Canada. In Germany I was used to drive very fast - not only with car mainly with motor bikes. Driving in Canada was very different but I got used to the speed limits, but not to the ridiculous and dangerous driving of some maniacs on the highways. If they would be allowed to drive with 200 km/hour or even faster our population would shrink. So far I survived and could avoid crashing in airborne cars. But driving was just transportation and except when we toured the eastern part of our country pretty boring. No having the Prius V I have fun again. I am not driving like moving road block and accelerate like all the cars do in front of me. If I have to pass a "sleeper" I may use the power mode and sometimes it is difficult not to exceed the speed limit. My average fuel consumption is 4.6 l/100 km, I don't thinks a Smart or a Fiat 500 is better. With a few exceptions I love everything on the Prius V with the comfort package. What I wish that Toyota would change is avoiding the blind spot bin the rear mirror and the location certain switches, especially those for the heated seats. My questions is has Toyota evaluated all possibilities to reduce the fuel consumption on very short trips? I am handicapped now and have to do those. It takes a long time to go back to my average fuel economy. I believe it should be possible by spending not an arm and a leg as for a plug in hybrid which I never considered. Toyota claimed once in Germany "Nothing is impossible" Please bring a proof by eliminating my few complains. If our amateurs in the governments would make a realistic and realistic fuel consumption mandatory for the different classes of vehicles the hybrid technology could help to scrap tax increases such a s carbon tax and help to protect our environment until the fuel cell system has been proven and battery powered cars make sense which. They are still far away of doing that!

[@maryrankin9869]

How much cheaper can you get! This car is best for fuel economy.

[@louisxiiii]

Interesting that you say the Prius V accelerates better than some cars. I have owned a Prius V for about 7 years. When I first got it, its slow acceleration was terrifying. I thought for sure I would get killed merging onto a highway. Over time, i got accustomed to it, and ti's fine now. I do not drive ti to maximize fuel economy; I drive it like a regular car. I wonder if ti learns its drivers' habits, and adjusting parameters accordingly. But once up to speed, it's great to travel at any speed - 80, 90 mph, at least until a long hill appears.

[@ayushanand2901]

Might not be the "best" car around but definitely the most pragmatic and value for money car for daily driving and needs!

[@TheMrssanderson]

I just bought one and you answered several questions, thank you! So far I love it!

[@michaelcrz1430]

I bought a used 2013 Prius V with 35k last year and still love how it performs. This is a perfect car for small family. The back seats recline and can be move back and forth. Cargo space is perfect size and bigger space when folding the back seats. I just wish they had the one with 3rd row here in the US. It’s sad that Toyota decided to discontinued the Prius V.

[@myvtec79]

I know this is late however that was an excellent review 👍👍thank you

[@blakjaknz]

I just bought a 2015 (this body shape) Prius Alpha (JDM variant of the Prius V) and it was interesting to see the top trim level and compare. Thanks for posting such a thorough video. Details on the variants of the Prius V are not easy to find!

[@MrT-nh6di]

BEST HYBRID ON THE ROAD!

[@brianlee5649]

Agreed, I freaking love the Toyota Prius (and don't understand the hate towards this car, why do ppl hate it?)

[@DyLemmaOG]

​Its basically a lower sitting ugly suv. The only pro is the gas mileage and they are quite cheap since they dont make them anymore.​@@brianlee5649

[@alecbotash2427]

Thanks for so specific video! Well done 👍

[@BeckyMarshallDesign]

Omg "Occupant opulence and cargo" -- You are the cutest, cutest, cutest. I can tell you have taken your fascination with cars and turned it into a service for others, and for that I'm grateful and inspired. Keep on nerdin' out, car nerd-- I learned so much from this video! PS, how do you get access to the vehicles you review?

[@livingthedash6727]

Go to a dealership and ask to review a vehicle. Know a dealer. Own a dealership. Become a salesperson. 🤷‍♂️ Pretty easy.

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear that you enjoyed! We partner with dealerships to gain access to all our cars

[@IDaikonI]

best review, thx

[@vasilepuscasu3048]

The car just called itself a *"Pryus"* 😂😂

[@benb.2123]

What camera do you use?

[@CarConfections]

We use a Canon Vixia HF R500 1080p Camcorder with a external shotgun microphone.

[@quacktony]

no third row seats? LIke the prius +?

[@hussienahmed635]

All nice but it does not have rear air conditioning that is too bad

[@andrewl3847]

They shouldn’t have discontinued this car. Also the exhaust note. 🤮

[@theamazoner4075]

Why? It's a good car

[@Bruzi8]

should or shouldn't? I am confused

[@theworldisyours2241]

Car it run on gas only if you want it to??

[@naeemrahimi5315]

Why Toyota does not produce V any more?

[@asrockrpg]

@Car Confections This car does have CVT Transmission.

[@brianlee5649]

No it does not, the Prius does not (I repeat) does not use a CVT, but they use a Power Split Device (PSD) where the electric motors and gas engine have a Planetary Gear which is always connected without any shifting at all. So do your research the next time you say stuff like this.

[@DyLemmaOG]

Hybrids have ECVTS. Better reliability than cvt

[@saffybaffy4142]

Same car but I have the 2019 prius plus

[@user-nj8oo1cr7e]

Where is the drl light?

[@msen37]

I love you TOYOTA

[@TV-gc5ww]

Good car still !

[@kingrahman4172]

US Price or Canadian price

[@CarConfections]

U.S.

[@matty_o]

I’m here because I might trade in 2016 cx5 for 2016 Prius V Five. This is due to $5+ for gas. It also has more storage than the CX5 plus the panoramic roof.

[@rightsmite]

I cannot understand why TOYOTA placed the speedometer in the center of the car dashboard. To me this is disorienting. It’s dangerous because you have to look away from the road. I drove a Scion that had this same placement and I did not like it.

[@CindysReviews]

I loved your review. Any idea why the power lift gate is not an available option on the 2017 model?

[@MotorDrives6492]

EU and Aussie spec cars are much better with 7 seats

[@klonhead]

When you point your camera at brake calipers and brake disc and say they have a regenerative technology it might be misleading as in reality the electric motor-generator is doing the job of braking and putting the scavenged electricity back to the battery through the inverter. Only when you brake hard the caliper grabs the disc and slows/stops the car like in every other car using the friction of the brake pad against the disc and kinetic energy turns into heat.

[@andybub45]

They are good cars, but are not for me. Also, they should make the guages normal like on other cars.

[@LTurbide]

The monotone presentation was putting me to sleep. He should at least sound like he is interested in the vehicle, and not bored to death.

[@CarConfections]

Why are people still watching this video?? Second comment today on a vid that's about 4 years old!

[@LTurbide]

@@CarConfections it may be 4 years old but it was the first time I've watched it.

[@RideOp74]

@@CarConfectionsumm, because people buy used vehicles too?

[@Wildcat1935]

Again Toyota came out with a vehicle which is lacking safety features. Blind side and crossing traffic radar. Deal breaker.

[@anildivakaran8375]

Donald Hudnall if they put everything in this year, what will they do next year? i agree, BSM would be sought after in this car

[@sidneythomasparker121]

It is not a moon roof. it is a sun roof!!

[@maryrankin9869]

?

[@rightsmite]

It’s a moon roof. If you’ve ever owned a car that has this feature and live in the southwest you know you cannot use it in SUN. IT WILL BURN YOU TO DEATH. ALSO NOT OPENING PREVENTS LEAKS TO THE INTERIOR IN RAIN. 😊
