FIRST DRIVE: The ALL NEW Prius gets a total makeover from Toyota for 2023. On the outside you will discover all new sheet metal, LED lighting, optional 19in wheels and fixed glass panoramic roof. on the inside there is a massive 12.3in infotainment system, soft-tex materials, ambient lighting and a 7in digital gauge cluster. Under the hood is now a 2.0L inline-4 pared with an electric motor to produce 196HP when equipped with AWD. Is the 2023 Toyota Prius a new sedan WORTH the Price?

Nice review! Some corrections: The “B” gear mode is not for normal driving, but mainly for going down hills to save your brakes. It maximizes regenerative braking (even when brake pedal is not pressed), but the normal drive mode also has regenerative braking when using the brake pedal (and even slightly when just coasting).

This is the one I was waiting for. Toyota has naied it with this model. A couple of pointers: IMHO, the hybrid version is the best value - really good fuel economy. I was never a fan of plug-in hybrids. Also, while it is roomy and good enough for the majority of folks, if you are tall the rear headroom can get tight. In the US, at least my American friends have more model choices, in Canada it's more limited. I think you;re right with the front emblem, it should have the other badges with the gunmetal colour. I don't mind the fender flares being the black - they're not huge and seem to fit in smoothly. No rear wiper blades but it doesn't need one.

I wouldn't zonk the fender wheel section think it separates the white nicely but without overdoing it. Love this channel for the little fun facts and jokes, Joe Atari nice to know I have a bit of a history with Atari not in their systems but their games department. Pretty fun games, the real Apex game from them is the best one (for those wondering if you know you know). Can't wait for the Pruis Prime they have planned in XSE trim level as well I saw on their site. Nice XSE corolla wheels think with a boost of speed as well.

If I might add sir, I have ventilated seats in my new Mazda CX-5, and I’m in California. I also told myself I wanted wanted ventilated seats in my next car, and now I have that next car as I mentioned. Well I find that the vehicles air conditioning is so strong that I don’t need the ventilated seats. I’ve used them for testing purposes a few times and they are almost unnecessary even in the California heat. I just spent the summer in San Antonio Texas and I didn’t use them there either. Now I’m thinking I bought features I wanted and didn’t need. They work great but I forget I have them and the a/c does a wonderful job. Just my own experience in a different car but in the same hot environment. Hope that gives you some other vantage point.

Excellent Job Joe and Lori pricing wasn’t as bad as I was afraid it was going to be I definitely want one within the next year now. It’s just to figure out how I can get it with out a lein on it again I’m no longer a morning person here any longer but I had to get up to watch this one and I was the 3rd like this morning. I will have to admit I saw another video on the Prius last night which only reminded me why I follow RattisRides so religiously here the other one gave me nothing at all but to know I won’t ever see another one again. Thank you both so much here for your Superior videos absolutely love your content

The awd isn’t parasitic as it’s not attached to the drivetrain. If anything you get better handling in cornering dry and slippery conditions.

@@esteban1487 there no way I’d buy one either. Have you studied Biden’s legislation? He mandated car manufacturers have switches in electric/hybrid cars that can turn them off remotely. In other words it’s a way to keep people off the roads when they want us locked down again in the future. It’s all about control, not about keeping the emissions down. All the government officials and activists wouldn’t fly around the country and the world in private jets if they really cared about the environment. They want to keep us down, and they can live extravagantly. I’ve studied this stuff and listened to experts extensively. Don’t be fooled by their climate push. That’s all fake. It’s about money and control and power. That’s why they are pushing electrics. Plus you need a spare tire in a car.
