Does AWD and a Facelift Make The 2019 Toyota Prius More Appealing?

I feel like the explanation of the AWD leaves a lot to be desired in this video. The system is set to always activate from 0-6 mph. It will activate up to 43 mph, IF SLIP IS DETECTED. If there isn't any slip detected then beyond 6 mph it will just default to front wheel drive. It's not meant to be some killer AWD system, it's an electric motor in the rear - no drive shaft like a Subaru. It isn't meant to compete with a Subaru. It's just meant to help get started around town in inclement weather.

I think I actually preferred the way it looked before the refresh. the taillights had that long vertical shape which was weird but very unique. I think the problem is that the car has a odd weird shape and then with this refresh they tried to make it look a little bit more normal in the front and rear that just made it look more boring, but kept the odd overall look. One thing that does help this car a lot is to pick a different color, I saw a pre refresh model in pearlescent white and actually it looked a lot better than I was expecting. that particular color seems to hide some of the odd angles and accentuate some of the better aspects. I currently drive a 2008 Prius with 310,000 miles on it and it still gives me 45-50 MPG It's not an exciting car, but it's reliable spacious and practical. I use mine for work so I really don't care how itl ooks I care about its efficiency and cost of ownership. personally I think the third-generation Prius is the best-looking of them, they made it a little bit more sporty than the second gen with the headlights being a little cooler... and in the level 5 trim it came with some pretty decent-looking alloy wheels also.

[@SK-lt1so]

Drove the 2019 FWD over 1000 miles as a rental and averaged 61-65 MPH mainly highway driving. Comfortable, though the seats aren't great.

I don't like driving fast, it makes me anxious, because I know I can't react fast enough to avoid something at high speeds. Hurrying is a waste of time!

The Prius was popular because people believed they were saving the environment. The high efficiency of the car paired with near silent EV mode in city driving made drivers felt they were polluting less. The fact is, they're just saving money at the gas pump. Mother Nature doesn't where you emit your greenhouse gases. The mining, transport, and production of the batteries burn diesel. If I get a hybrid Toyota, I just think of it as saving money. But not emitting that much while driving in the city as the car switches to EV mode when it can.

Like the interior door treatment crossing the exterior body crease. And the taillights are amazing. Love the neon effect of the signature line. Now a lot of interesting car designs get neutered with the mid-gen refresh due to people making a stink, resulting in a more mild ‘safe’ styling. This is all for the haters who don’t plan on buying the vehicle either way. I saw this with the gorgeous B9 Tribecca that looked like a poor man’s Porsche Cayenne that turned into a mild uninspiring first-gen Rogue lookalike.

It has to be slow. It's none of these things, this car looks incredible and slick. Just because it doesn't look like a LaFerrari doesn't make it useless. I got one in Blizzard Pearl and can't stop staring at it at night.

8:55 why does he act like 1 touch is a feature? It doesn’t require anything more from the manufacturer to include it, just slightly different programming, The only reason certain cars don’t have it is by choice because it’s annoying

[@nickr3441]

I agree with you. Not a fan of one touch up or down

[@f181234]

Not Royal Skyline it’s actually because of a US law www.google.ca/amp/s/www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/why-car-power-windows-work-differently/

[@kevinkenny9355]

I LOVE the way the 2016-2018 model looks, but HATE the way the facelifted model works.

[@ibdustin15]

Bought one of these. Put a 8 inch lift on it with 31 A/T tires. Still getting 52 MPG average.

[@felixlaboy1453]

Hi there. Amazing video as always. Please keep up the great work Pleases I need you advice. My commute is about 180 each way. I was thinking of the Prius bc of it MPG. But I like the look of the Corolla Hutch. Now most of my commute is 99 percent highway. But on school days there a good amount of traffic. So it takes me about 2 hours In the evening the traffic isn’t as bad so I’m able to do about 75 to 80 mph please give me what advice do you recommend should I just go with the regular gas engine on the Corolla or should I go over the Prius that won’t help me with the mileage thanks for any advice and help that anyone in yourself to give me

[@sirgalahad1470]

The Prius line is one of the ugliest production car lines of the last 25 years. It amazes me that people would drive a car as ugly as a Prius just to save a few hundred dollars a year in petrol.

[@brentshannon5048]

That seat looks perfect for you. How does someone at 6’1 220 fit

[@aras007]

Prius Performance or Prius SE/XSE??? Stil waiting.

[@tu6198]

It doesn't make a difference people will still drive 15 mph on the fast lane. Makes no sense.

[@tjhouston1280]

Face certainly looks better than the other one.

[@boythatsqwxzy8068]

i have a 2019 Volkswagen Jetta SEL and i love just got it yesterday love it so far.

[@Kickflip215]

Fun fact the Prius is all made in japan!

[@nofyfb123]

Bingo!

[@marijanglavina2512]

I own two second Gen Priuses (2007 and 2009). In some aespects, the second generation is better designed than 3rd and 4th. I’m more conservative in terms of design. I was thinking of buying a third generation, but in the second generation I somehow feel better. The fourth generation is too weird for me, the redesign has improved it a bit and it looks nicer.

[@thrash123ful]

Ive only seen one of these on the road since it came out so yea know one is buying this.Time for a total redesign Prius

[@biancafunk5661]

Great review as always. Looks a little better but, I would rather have an ioniq. Better looks overall, has android auto and better warranty.

[@f181234]

Bianca Funk ionq doesn’t look good either

[@nofyfb123]

It also doesn't run...

[@NinjaDecimator]

Yeah, I think I'd still go for the Ioniq. Current model fully loaded gets better MPG 55/54 or base at 57/55. Plus it looks much better and the 2020 refresh is even more attractive.

[@nofyfb123]

Huyndai's reliability is below sea level. So go for it if it doesn't botheryou...

[@shelpippg2202]

I had a 2005 Hyundai Elantra and the chassis rusted in each quadrant at 70k miles and the entire car bottomed out going out over a railroad track. Fully bottomed out. The body.fell.off.the.chassis. I had to pay $75 to have it towed and cubed. Good old upstate NY weather vs. garbage cars. Then my husband bought a Kia Sorrento & his problems were even worse, lol.

[@Nohugpls]

A sunroof or an AWD - choose wisely you must !

[@Loveduhmusic]

I would buy this Prius. Great on gas and AWD plus Toyota's last forever.

[@samuelmalka1462]

Well said.

[@samuelmalka1462]

Bought one. Firt stop to fill up after 820 km. 4.7 l/100 km. My total average fuel since we bought it is 5.4 l/100 km. We live in canada Quebec. Cant wait to test the AWD in the winter.

[@Loveduhmusic]

@@samuelmalka1462Wow that is great. Wish I had one.

[@BMWROYAL]

How do you find these year for year sales on these cars? I would to see these stats

[@dygardion9130]

Not Royal Skyline google

[@nickiemcnichols5397]

There is a you tube video on this.

[@roberteverett7348]

My old Audi A2 diesel used to get 48mpg no matter how you drove it, plus it was waaaay better looking, more premium, more practical and smaller. How is this moving the game on? (Spoiler alert: its not)

[@joep8787]

I have a old Prius with over 200,000 miles on it. I live in snow country, and the Prius is terrible in the snow. I had to get studded tires in order to be able to drive in the snow. I wish you'd tested the AWD in the snow. That's what it's for, to get you out of sticky areas. No one's going to buy a Prius for performance.

[@gtlegacy8]

Y’all get use to it when you’re uber driver picks you up from now on.

[@Edgarr386]

TBH the 2008 Prius looks better than the current one in my opinion

[@jcguy6608]

The design of the exterior and interior is terrible, what were they thinking? Plus there are more attractive options available now.

[@ileref]

Toyota should’ve given the Camry Hybrid an AWD option. Would likely improve sales and be more appealing to people in colder climates. Skip this if you need AWD get a Rav-4 Hybrid
