The 2023 Toyota Prius Is MUCH Better Than You Think!

[@dkaustin98]

I drove a second gen Prius for 10 years. It was reliable vehicle. It never left me stranded. It never broke down. The battery pack never failed. I put over 200,000 miles on it for work. I made money with it on business trips for mileage reimbursement. On long cross country trips I had to stop for me, not fuel. I had to get out to stretch. I was ranging 557 miles on a tank. After 10 years, I traded it in on a Camry SXE. Today I drive a Tundra. If I had to buy a new sedan and my choices were EV and Hybrid, I would choose the Prius. EVs just are not reliable enough yet.

[@revmatchtv]

200K is pretty solid

[@dkaustin98]

@@revmatchtv The only reason I traded it in to the dealership is because an air conditioning part failed that was located way up under the dash. Summers here can get to over 100 degrees. A $75 part that was going to cost $1500 in labor to replace. The dash and the computers had to come out to get to the part. So, after 10 years and that many miles it was an easy trade for a new red Camry XSE. The Prius was a good solid car. I do like the new sporty looking Prius, but you will have to pry me out of my Tundra.

[@Aikynbreusov]

I'll be damn if terrorist group figure out how reliable the pruis is and use it as their official military vehicles to fight our US military..... they ready use the Toyota Landcruiser and Hilux truck as their war vehicles to attack our soldiers....

[@seikocitizenwatches]

Yes I agree with your experience. My 2002 Prius sedan experienced zero major issue over the 16 years of ownership and my college daughter was driving it as a pass down vehicle when it was flooded during a storm while the daughter was attending class. The Prius sedan had 260K miles when it was totaled and its battery, engine, transmission, suspension and ÁC system still work like new. Amazingly dependable vehicle

[@dkaustin98]

@TundraExplorer5.7 I think about it too. However, I do haul lumber and 4x8 sheets of plywood in the Tundra, occasionally. However, when you need a truck it is a pain to find someone with a truck who has time to help you out. Been there. One other thing that comes to mind. My wife drives a RAV4. When we go on trips my wife always says, "Lets go in the Tundra." She feels more secure in the Tundra. She claims it rides better. She likes the roomy cab area. So, I don't think the Prius is in my future.

I had a 3rd gen prius, and after a couple of years, I got rid of it just because I didn't like the driving dynamics. Now I am not a sports car enthusiast, but I found that the Camry gave me what I was looking for. This new prius is highly enticing, and considering my trade valuation for the camry, given the used car market, I might just consider a trade-in for this new prius

It reminds me my 2nd Prius 20. The body design is nice, very nice. I think 16-17 wheels are the biggest needed here for sound and suspension comfort.

They did a nice job on the interior. Physical HVAC a massive plus and good for their audience. Minimalist "gauge" cluster makes sense for the use case and demographic. Only thing I hate is that strange kink off the middle screen to add the volume knob, but at least it's there. At first I thought it should be on the driver side, but then I remembered steering wheel controls. They could have integrated the screen a bit better too, but it's fine.

I bought my 2008 Prius brand new I average 50 miles per gallon since I do not do any short trips. I use my bike shopping and going to town. It’s garage kept which I think helps the battery lasts longer, and I have the original battery and it’s a classic if I keep it long enough. I only have 150,000 miles on it should last me another five years before cars can drive themselves then I’ll consider that. Thanks for the review I really like the new style and will consider in the future.

Still driving my 2007 with only 140K miles. Still running strong and never had big issues and never have changed the breaks. I just bought the new Limited and wow !! What an improvement it does drive on it’s own in the freeway. It steers and breaks by it self adapting to all traffic around you.

Even my 2012 (and I AM planning on trying to buy a 2023 when they show up at the dealers) can accelerate more than well enough to merge onto the interstate, pass safely, and so on. No complaints from me (ditto with my 2007 when I had it as well).

[@kevinsargent6282]

Same here. While a bit more power & handling is always welcome (particularly when efficiency remains the same 😉), I have never found the modest power / acceleration / handling to be inadequate of the Prius I have/had. I had a 2006 before, and currently a 2014 Plug In, and they have both been excellent and reliable vehicles. I am on a waitlist for a 2023 Prime. 😎

Very nice redesign, but getting in and out will be a problem for some because of the raked windshield, low roofline and doors that don't open wide.

JBL sounds awesome!! Big improvement from previous models. I have not heard any of the ML sound systems on the Lexus so I can’t really compare but I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

[@1472fred]

[@dkaustin98]

I am now seeing articles by writers claiming the Prius is a let down and should be the flagship of technology for Toyota. They put it down because it is not loaded with tech. I bet you they didn't even drive the Prius. That is acceptable in journalism now. Write an article you know nothing about. I am glad that Toyota is conservative with tech. When I bought my Camry XSE, I got every available tech option one could get in a Camry. Fully loaded. I ordered it that way. Nice features, but to be honest, I didn't use all that tech. Not while I was driving. Some of my friends have bought other brands with the latest tech only to find after six months to a year that latest tech failed or was recalled. If you didn't have the extended warranty it was going to cost over $1,000 to replace. It is not always the best thing to be on the "bleeding edge" of technology. I put 11,000 miles on the Camry, then traded it in for a Tundra.

[@leiferiksson1785]

The 2.0 has direct injection. The 1.8 has only port injection. That is the main reason for the power increase. If only Toyota could have added direct injection to 1.8 on earlier generations.

[@revmatchtv]

They are using the 2.0 Dynamic Force engine from the Corolla because it's a well-developed motor. It does weight a bit more, but it's a proven engine with port and direct injectors.

[@leiferiksson1785]

You are going to see a lot of stories about the folks who invested in EVs that suddenly found themselves stranded during this last winter storm that just blew through for the holidays. The stories are already starting to pop up about EVs that wouldn't charge in this cold or those EVs that did start only found a quarter of their range was available. Hybrid is the way to go. Think about this, you all see those big railroad engines? Those have diesel power plants. Some more than one diesel power plant, that are driving multiple electric motors on the axles. Hybrids! Those work pulling tons of cargo in all kinds of weather. If the government forces me to buy an energy efficient vehicle I will buy a hybrid before I buy an EV.

Could you please also review the 2023 Prius Prime and compare it with regular hybrid. Appreciate it.

[@zoobrizz]

Why?

[@YogAroodha]

@@zoobrizz Because, Prime has many differences from regular: Price, Trunk Space, Gross Vehicle Weight, MPG, how smoothly moves from EV only to hybrid, how quickly bigger battery charges up, and a dozen other factors. Anyway, looks like that review is already done based on the pinned message.

I think Prius went from Form follows function to looks.....the windshield is so sleek it affects headroom....both front and rear.....

[@revmatchtv]

Function follows form here but Toyota recognizes that the world has moved to SUVs, so much of their lineup including the Highlander offers a hybrid version now.

Can you open the trunk from inside..??

[@Michael-oe6zg]

It’s a solid No for me . The back seats are so close & tight it’s for people like 5’6” ; otherwise you literally have just inches to the ceiling of the car . It’s too tight for me. Just one bump you will hit your head on the ceiling. It’s a safety hazard ! I’m not even 6 foot . Good luck if your 6ft+ getting in the back seat . I already prayed for y’all

Has Toyota done anything to make the catalytic convertors more theft-proof? This is a major problem and concern for Prius owners nationwide.

That red is rad.
