[@hyrenaj2888]

45mpg would be what I expect for extended highway use. The EPA highway test cycle only tests for about 12 minutes and never exceeds 60mph while the high speed test only has about a 5 minute section of uninterrupted high speed, and there are numerous breaks to recover energy. For a multi-hour drive, the Prius (and any other normal hybrid) will basically rely only on the gas engine.

[@chloesamclutch]

@Nobody Those Camrys are way underrated. My wife drives a 19 XLE non hybrid and averages around 40 mpg.

[@mylesgray3470]

Even still, it seems like the MPG is lower than my old 2013 Prius which gets around 44mpg average at 80mph, and about 50MPG average at less than 65 mph if I really focus on maximizing mpg. I suspect the 19” wheels are one of the key reasons vs my old car with 15” aero hub capped wheels. Regardless, you get way more power with the new Prius with similar MPG so that’s pretty good.

[@zach-ul7et]

Also tbf the numbers in this video are probably lower because of using winter blend gasoline. If it's getting 45mpg on winter blend, it probably is in the high 50s with summer blend gas

[@STOPPEDINCOLORADO]

Not true. If you enable cruise control (or drive steady) the electric motor maintains the speed. It’s a system that works in tandem.

[@STOPPEDINCOLORADO]

Even if you hit the gas, it would most likely charge the battery for when you eventually drive steadily again.

[@lockdot2]

I have a 2008 Toyota Prius, with 247,000 miles. And I drive it quite conservatively. In the city, going as slow as possible to not annoy people. I am talking 0-40 MPH of 20 seconds or so in the slow lane. And when stopping I try to coast, and not have to stop for the light if possible. But in the city I get 54 MPG on average, with the AC off. And about 50 MPG on average with the AC on. I should add, the the city driving, I average about 11 MPH, as there is a lot of stop lights. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to go 16 miles. And on the freeway, I go 60 MPH with cruise control, and I get about 58 MPG with the AC off, and about 52 MPG with the AC on. I just use cruise control, so the speed is constant. And that is the average I get from gaining 1,800 feet in elevation going to work, and losing 1,800 feet in elevation coming back. That is a 60 mile trip each way. It really depends who drives it though. When my mom drives it, she gets 32 MPG in the city, and 38 MPG on the freeway. She has a lead foot. She is either hard acceleration, or hard braking. Not a consistent speed at all. I am talking flooring it from most stop lights type of driving. And following close behind cars so braking is quite often. I should add, the 0-60 in the Prius is about 11 seconds, which I actually find fast. I normally drive a old 2003 Pontiac Montana, with about 160,000 miles. It used to have a 10 second 0-60, but the engine is worn out, and it makes a lot of lifter noise, anymore it is about 17 seconds to 60. But any car, even a Mitsubishi Mirage is plenty for me.

[@checkoutmyyoutubepage]

Using cruise control always saves gas. People should learn this.

[@lockdot2]

​@@checkoutmyyoutubepage Well, not always. Let's say your going up and down small hills, cruise control will rev the engine up a lot to stay as close as possible to the speed you set. But if you are driving, let's say 60 MPH, and you reach the hill, and leave your foot where it was, it will slow down to lets say 55 MPH, and not change gears. Then you regain the speed down the hill. Like, there is a really steep hill on the freeway by my house, and going up the hill at 65 MPH with cruise control, it will shift the van from 4th, to 3rd, still lose speed, then downshift to 2nd, and at that point the engine is at 5,500 RPM. But if I manually adjust the throttle, it will only downshift to 3rd, but I will also be going under 55 MPH by the end of the hill. I should add, the engine in our van isn't too powerful. Like, getting on the freeway on a steeper onramp, the van will only be at 40 MPH at the end of the onramp, while the whole time it's floored. There is a faster road by the house, not a freeway. But it's 60 MPH with stop lights. And if 1 person is in front of me at a stop light, I can have the van floored, and the person in front still accelerates super fast. Maybe I am a slow driver, as I don't see why they need to go so fast from a stop. Not good on gas. They get up to speed in about 15 seconds. And when I drive with no one around, it takes a bit over a minute to do the same thing. Lol.

[@kiefershanks4172]

The 2.0l in this car is so much better than the 1.8l. I have a 2022 Corolla SE manual with the non-Atkinson variant of this engine and it honestly feels significantly more refined and feels more like a diesel engine than a gas one. I also have a 2017 Prius (which I love), and if it had the same engine as my Corolla, that would be a great combo with the hybrid eCVT because it has a ton of low-end torque. I know there are lot of diehards for the 1.8l engines but the 2.0l is just **chef's kiss**

[@revmatchtv]

The 2.0 is a very nice, overbuilt engine. It should last forever and has way more torque than the 1.8. It's a huge upgrade.

[@aluisious]

Weird, I drove the 2.0l Corolla and it didn’t feel like a diesel at all to me, I liked how it would rev out and keep building power.

[@kiefershanks4172]

@@aluisious I use that comparison fairly loosely. I had a 1.8l Corolla before and before that a 1.9 TDI VW Beetle so to me the faster combustion in the 2.0l kinda made it feel like a combo of those two engines, the low end torque of the 1.9l diesel and the revving of the 1.8l gas but with more horsepower. Maybe that is just a benefit of the dual injection systems as well that I am feeling. The faster combustion of the 2.0l is noticable to me which to me gives it what I could describe as "gasoline combustion with diesel combustion characteristics". It's not a diesel at all but the longer stroke and burn speeds kind of reminded me of my old 1.9l but with a 3000rpm wider powerband. Great engine

[@yea-yea]

Hello there, such a great review. Appreciate your effort. One question: How did you like the sound isolation in the car during the test? Like road noise, tire noise etc.? How would you rate it from 1 to 10? Thanks again and keep up the good work! :)

[@revmatchtv]

In the city it's very, very quiet. On the highway, it's noisier than a Camry, but definitely quieter than the last gen Prius. I think it's mostly tire noise, but it's not objectionable. It's somewhere in the middle of 0-10 if 10 is the loudest. Maybe a 4 on the freeway? If you're on full throttle, it's pretty loud due the engine revving to high heaven.

[@solitudessilentgroove]

I bought a new 2021 Rav4 hybrid. When I first got it I drove casually in eco mode, not really hypermiling, and I got 52 MPG. I use it primarily for Uber and drive aggressively when I don't have passengers, and I often have a full car of passengers. I average 39.9 MPG. So I would imagine the Prius gets way better gas mileage than you're experiencing in this video. I've heard people getting 72 MPG on the older models.

[@revmatchtv]

I had a pre-production car, and as you saw, inclement weather and a tall pass.

[@kpokfposkf]

lots of factors have to be considered, temperature/aero (windy or not) are the most important factors IMO. its getting warmer here in Canada (15 degrees celsius). I was able to get 2.9 L/100KM (81MPG) going 15km (from one place to DT). But over the course of ownership Jan to March. I average probably 5.2 L/100KM which is 45MPG, pretty good considered all the circumstances (-20 to just above zero degrees). Upgraded from 15 to 16" diameter rims, and swapped to All-weather tires instead of low rolling-resistance tires. In warmer days. I can achieve 50 MPG pretty consistently.

My question is: Is it fun? I had a 2012 Prius C and honestly, that little car was fun to drive, of course it had some issues, but I enjoyed it. Life went on and now I'm in a Model S. The problem is that I drive a LOT for work and Range Anxiety is a real thing. I'm holding out for the new Prime best of both worlds EV & Hybrid. I enjoy Tesla's autopilot, does sense 3.0 compare? And is it fun? I don't expect it to launch off the line, but with the right music... Did you connect with the car?

[@revmatchtv]

I think I explained in great detail how I enjoyed driving. It’s several minutes of the video. TSS 3.0 is nowhere near as advanced as Autopilot.

[@michaelhanson741]

You should also check out the 2023 Prius Prime that comes out in Spring, it's what I'm holding out for it. It has about 40 miles of electric range and will then go into hybrid mode after its charge is gone

@@michaelhanson741 I was with you on this, that was my plan. I got to sit in the a regular Prius at the dealership this past weekend... The steering wheel... I thought I'd be able to not be effected by it, but it may be the deal breaker. The top of the wheel is directly in the line of sight for the instrument cluster. MAYBE if we got the yoke or an aftermarket without the top section.

[@saltydogg]

So $49.29 divided by 461 miles is10.69 cents per mile. Also 461 miles divided by 121.233 kwh ( 9.79 * 12.38333 ) equals 3.8 miles per kilowatt hour, that's as good as most battery electrics.

[@revmatchtv]

It will be pretty cheap to run

[@Hanztheblackgermansheperd]

I bought my 2023 Prius XLE AWD in August and I've been getting 60 mi per gallon in morning going to work in light traffic. On way home in heavy traffic I average around 50mpg. If I'm aggressive with driving I usually get around 44mpg. So when and how you drive really matters with mpg in this car. Love the car though. Sips the fuel and can get pretty fun to drive when you get on that gas pedal. 19 inch rims really help with handling and haven't broke grip yet in tight curves going fast.

I really like what they did with the new Prius, but I am still deciding whether to purchase it, considering how well the 2025 Camry compares and even exceeds with space and power. What are your recommendations? Prius XLE or Camry XLE? I want the style, function, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

[@sdcoffeeroaster]

I'm not sure why the XLE gets less mpg than the LE but according to another source it's 52 mpg VS 57 mpg combined for XLE VS LE. Probably larger wheels and tires account for this but 45 mpg is pretty dismal for new Prius isn't it (even considering hilly terrain)? I have the 2017 plug-in prime and I average an amazing 61 mpg on gas and 5.0 miles/kwh in EV mode without extremely easy driving, just a bit of moderation most of the time. I think I was in my 20's or 30's the last time I challenged another driver to a stoplight race and if I wanted a quick 0-60 time I guess I would own a Corvette, BMW or Tesla. But since I'm never really doing any drag racing with my car and it's quick enough to get from one red light to another or easily merge into freeway traffic (even in ECO mode) my 2017 Prime will not be traded in for a 2023 soon. The inability to actually see the display is a huge deal breaker as well and my 2017 doesn't have that annoying simulated ICE sound at slow speed. So count me a bit disappointed with some of these changes and the design direction Toyota has taken with the Prius. The new look and the improved handling are both big pluses however, as well as the increased EV range. But this could have easily have been an 70-80mpg vehicle instead of a car designed to keep up with a Tesla or BMW, which it still won't in a stoplight race. Isn't economy really why most people purchase a Prus or am I wrong? Why buy a Prius if you want to be king of the 0-60 crowd? I guess I don't get it the overall appeal this car might have to an existing Prius owner but I know some want economy and more performance. And while the potential for economy with the new Prius is still really good, I think Toyota chose to give up a lot of potential economy for flashy 0-60 times and probably lost some or a lot of sales from existing Prius owners like me.

[@revmatchtv]

Per Toyota, the estimated fuel economy is City/Hwy/ Combined: 57/56/57 (LE FWD) 52/52/52 (XLE/Limited FWD) 53/54/54 (LE AWD) 49/50/49 (XLE/Limited AWD)

[@sdcoffeeroaster]

@@revmatchtv Yes I think the main difference has to be tire and wheel sizes. That was also my experience with my my 2004 Prius when I briefly tried larger tires and wheels in an effort to improve the horrible handling and wandering on freeways. It helped stability but depressed gas mileage by about 5 mpg.

[@doloreschansey9556]

If there is an elevation gain during your drive, whatever your mileage is below the epa estimate, on your way back, it will be that number above the epa estimate on the reverse trip that includes an elevation drop. Also with those toyota engine platforms and all the rest involved in the enineering, if the temp. outside is below 50, you will see lower electric motor output, and a little more so below about 30 F. That is pretty shocking, seeing as how I had a 2016 Prius II Eco and drove it 45,000 miles averaging 62.5 mpg and I floored it everywhere I went because it could handle it and in a Prius, when you're trying to floor it, it's about as fast as half-assing it in a truck.

[@Kekeripo]

Interesting. My 2021 Yaris Cross Hybrid AWD does the exact same mpg, and i drive in the very hill covered regions of switzerland, with lots of ups and down. I do 5.2L/100Km (45mpg) on that road, but it does drop down considerably if i stay in the city only (64ish mpg) and at around 52mpg on the flat regions or our autobahn (if i dont have to brake a lot). Hills trully are the enemy of hybrids. Note: i can get my avg. work way mpg down a bit if i drive more considerate, with soft acceleration and so on, but most of the times i just drive without a care for mpg.

I bought a new Prius in 2021 and moved inland, where it’s not so flat an also where there’s insane highway driving (think autobahn…I’m often well over 80 mph going with morning traffic). My mileage went from consistently low 50 mpg to now mid to low 40 mpg in a car that’s supposed to get better mpg according to the sticker (it’s not a Prime, pure Hybrid). No matter how hard I try to hyper-mile, it’s just impossible with the roads I now drive on. When I’m back at the coast for a visit, the mpg is fantastic! Go figure Great review

Prii are computers on wheels, and because of that there is a learning period during break in. If you disconnect the 12V battery for long enough, that will reset the whole car and restart the learning process.

When I spoke with the engineers, they said premium would help ensure the maximum power output was achieved. The numbers Toyota quotes are EPA numbers, not Toyota numbers, so that was achieved with their standard testing methods.

The gas prices now is what is making consider getting a new car. It's between a chevy bolt or a ioniq 5. If I was to get an hybrid it would the prius prime. The new job is 50 minute drive away: 90kilometers each way. Any thoughts anyone.

[@revmatchtv]

Run the math for your commute. Figure on some inflation for both gas and electricity. See how much you will save or spend depending on what you drive. Factor in your purchase price with interest or lease cost. Most likely you'll find it's cheaper to keep the Accord, but it won't take long to put together a spreadsheet with your costs.

[@bigh8121]

@@revmatchtv I have considered the points that you have brought forth. My baby is 15 years old and I do NEED reliable transportation. The 50 thousand km a year is just for work. I am not taking into consideration the driving around town taking the kids to their respective activities. With the price olgas today the app estimated ~ 7 644 dollars for driving strictly for work. That is why I considered the Chevy Bolt EUV. With 11k incentives and my down-payment I am looking at 531 a month for 6 years. So what I would be spending on gas I am paying for the car.

It gives a percentage per trip. I don't recall a screen showing total miles. The percentage is obviously a lot higher in the city. On my road trip, the percentage got lower the longer the drive. On my 199 mile leg, the EV driving ratio was 34%. You can see that somewhere in the video I think for maybe 1 second.

@@revmatchtv i c what u mean, and it is very important ofcourse to have a light foot but it will not give u official numbers of mpg. so many factors are in mpg that book can be written about only mpg subject. real life numbers never match official mpg. i have huge experience with that. also extemely important to have 15-days experiment. exoeriment done in 1-day time period and in 15-days time period will have a totally different results and it is only 10% of factors. there other huge amount of factors as well. its not simple at all as majority of men think it is. even atmoshperic presure and oxigen levels in the air is a factor and even level of pressure in the tires and number of passengers and speeds and numbers of start/stops and seasons and time gaps of start/stops and weather conditions and other factors. so as i said it is complex thing. even country to country factors are important too. condiotions are different in different countries and quaility of fuel is different which gives us a lot of differenece technical condition and age of car also a big factor and many other thing. so my dear friends believe me i know what i am saying.
