While I know the frustration with the CVT, I think you can have fun without banging through gears and mashing the throttle and brakes.

[@romannasuti25]

Honestly, I really liked the CVT in my ES300h, it made for a very sumptuous and responsive ride, smooth with good torque response. The one big issue with them is the droning engine noise, and I guess Lexus addresses that issue while Toyota doesn't typically.

That's what I'm saying. Does it sound good? Not really, but I absolutely hate it when cars with CVTs fake gear changes.

It's also supposed to be really fuel efficient, not sure why you would put anything but a CVT in it.

[@ElAnciano92071]

As this car, or any with CVT were not inttended for throtle response, but rather to run the engine at the OPTIMAL RPM for the acceleration you are asking for (for the best MPG) the engine won't feel directily connected... because it isn't. I remember the Powerglide 2 speed automatic from the 50s, and the RPM was a serious compromise most of the time, given that the peak HP is in a very narrow band of RPM. Over the years, they have added more and more gears to both automaic (10 or more) and manual (six or more) to try and keep the RPM at the peak. Even then it spends much of its time at a comproise RPM. The drone you were complaining about is due to the it beiing a long stroke engine. The peak HP happens to be in the drony range. Just be happy it is doing its job of NOT being at a compromise RPM. Anyone that puts fake shift point on a CVT or eCVT should be shot! Especially if there is not an override switch! I have driven an eCVT by choice since 2007, and currently drive a 2017 Prius Prime. I wouldn't buy anything else. I have gone 575 miles on a tnank of gas, and went two 12 month periods without buying gas at all. (25 mile EV range is sufficient for my around town needs.

[@ElAnciano92071]

P.S. The "e" in the eCVT is for electric. No belts, but rather a planetary gearset (or two in some cases), two motors and the engine driving the wheels on various axis of said planetary gearset. MG2 is connected to the differential (yet another, but common to most cars planetary gearset), so spins X times as fast as the fron axle. X being the differential ratio of between 3 and 4 : 1. The ratio of the RPM of MG2 and MG1 controls the RPM of the engine. In the Prius Prime (not the regular Prius), when in EV mode MG1 helps MG2 move the car, so the engine doesn' have to start to help at full throttle. I don't know if this is true on the 2023 (gen V) Prime though. Dr. John Kelly hasn't made a video yet. ;)

The Prius may not be available in the UK, but the Corolla is based on the same platform, has the same engine/battery combinations and is built right here in the UK.

[@PL-fj4uq]

Corolla generates a little less HP, about 1/2 second slower on paper and around 10% worse on fuel economy, maybe it's the aerodynamics? Though the Prius might be better looking than the Corolla here - though neither look bad at all.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

don't let that stop you, i'm sure the Toyotas built in the UK is just as reliable as the other countries...

Incomprehensible that you can't have it in the United Kingdom when it is eagerly awaited here, in France...

[@Ms61]

Toyota decided to not sell it in the UK, Australia and New Zealand... Probably lack of sales in these markets compared to continental Europe and North America...

[@donttouchthewatch645]

nobody gonna buy this in Europe, it costs too much

[@Ms61]

@@donttouchthewatch645 I agree, too expensive, they will only sell the plug in hybrid version, while in Asia they still sell the regular hybrid version...

Loved my s2000. Probably the best car I've ever owned. Sad that I sold it but when you have to roll out of a car it does nothing for the old street cred. Changed it for an xfr and now pull a petrol tanker behind me!

[@ofirs5830]

Do you regret selling the s2000?

[@tommyd5238]

Toyota in the UK aren't even allowing us to buy the new Prius, ridiculous as it's the best one yet !

[@CaneDimitrov]

7:36 The materials on the outside are definitely worse than before, I drive a 2009 toyota sedan and the sound from hitting the bumpers and especially the doors closing is so deep and reassuring

[@RennieAsh]

The Prius has always lacked extra sound deadening

[@ggtontoyono]

I own a 2010 Prius and sounds the same, but I also rented a 2017 Prius and it got a lot better in that regard. Seems that this new Prius is taking a step back, probably to increase mpg's

We owned 2nd and 3rd generation Prius sedans in our family. This is a great improvement with a couple of exceptions. The "A" pillar is sloped in such a way to make entrance into the front seat a bit difficult. Very easy to hit your head and a little too close once in the seat. I would have favored a slightly more upright windshield. Dashboard could have been better as well.

[@Shambles7698]

The new Prius is really look good .plus with Toyota reliable and quality nothing will go wrong

[@GeorgeTelop]

It could go wrong if they go for cheap materials again and from Mat mentioning the "tin".. looks very cool though

[@lunarpeople]

Dude you are funny... And the more reviews you make the funnier they get. However reviewing this car in the UK 🇬🇧 is similar to reviewing a new smart phone which is never to be released outside of China... But it's good.. and not for you people. Limited rear view is very annoying. One can get "used" to it, however daily drive proves how crappy it is struggling to see bits behind you. Mind you, there's a rear view cam, so may be that solves problem... 🤔 Good review mate! 🎉🎉🎉

[@joecarlson8171]

I had an S2000 and they are amazing cars!!!

[@lknanml]

Have to admit that is a REALLY good looking design. I really like it. Make a version with more performance and I'd add it to the new car list. 1 1/2 years till new car time....

The Plug in version offers 220hp.

I've seen a ton of these driving around Japan already. I like the design.

[@OvidiuHretcanu]

5:38 there is nothing to "think through": you either put the rear wheels arches inside the backdoor or not. That how you get the windows to roll down completely.

[@damianadams]

Rear door handles = no issue. Honda Vezel is a standard taxi in Singapore and has the same door handles. Not a problem. You simply look at the door and it takes like 1 second to work out how to open the door. Then once you have done it once you sort of know.

[@nakkadu]

Yeah but he was pointing out it could be an issue for taxi drivers

Toyota has become one of the most exciting and amazing car brands again, first with the return of fun sports cars, and now bringing that magic to their everyday cars.

The S2000 cameo was great! Obvious better choice over the prius. But you could have both. The economical depressing car, and the fun S2000.

Imagine a GR version of this with a decent transmission (not necessarily manual, a good automatic would suffice) would be the ultimate daily

[@VulcanGT]

They already made a concept GR Prius

[@User.Joshua]

Nah, keep the eCVT. The planetary gears offer instant responses; very reminiscent of EVs. To me, conventional transmissions are the new manuals; slower, but preferred by enthusiast. You drive an eCVT long enough and you’ll get it… it’s the real enthusiasts choice.. it’s just the driver and how much throttle you need to proportion for a given task.

[@cenciende9401]

Of course it would, good dual-clutch paddles are far superior to manual

[@pbear216]

Even the eCVT is far superior to a manual. DCT wouldn't work well with electric motors though

[@pbear216]

I have a 2021 Rav4 Prime and it pulls like a freight train all the way to 118 mph (which is the electronic speed limit). Never once is there any lost power from a shift of any sort.
