its not what it should be, dont waste money on mediocre , make them stop fooling around if they are gonna get your money. concept car videos... how about a video on what you guys think is the ideal car? driving efficiently is speeding up especially on more downhill-ish roads at optimal fuel level and engine RPM(RotationPerSecond), steering and braking minimally but smoothly. optimal effiency for toyota 2.4 inline 4 is 2/3 pedal down in 2k-3k rpm, cvt hybrid maintain constant rpm. not sure whats best to do this in: sport mode, fuel level is more, in eco mode its less. use EV mode if optimal combustion level would speed car too much (often, if car isnt letting you do that without the EV mode, it wont let you us EV mode.) use it a bit from a stop for smooth acceleration then when car is rolling use combustion then maybe use it a bit more. smooth acceleration is part of putting less weight on tires at a moment because: consider tire wear dust emissions and how much it cost to replace tires (most people are becoming increasingly even poorer than they already are and you can invest money into bigger money)like those "xenoestrogen endocrine disputing forever chemicals micro plastics" etc. apply less weight on tires and you'll allow more of that weight handling ability to be used for having more grip for endurance-race-pitstop-avoiding momentum preservation driving fun in the name of efficiency. being able to feel how close car is to its grip limit is good for this goal, similar to the lotus-car-enjoyers ideal. hybrid cars are arguably better than electric car because they lower use of combustion and battery mass and all materials overall without adding so much weight. weight worsens road wear damage (repairs cost emissions , money etc) , worsens crash safety for all (except few rich people who can afford super safe cars in the small chance that they are involved in crash and value their lives and have lives we can value). this is why aptera motors originally made diesel hybrid, but now sells electric cars to max profits and reputation as a "environmentally friendly brand." because batteries are not fully recyclable and combustion fuel is based on anaerobic bacteria that regenerates , which is why oil rigs go back to getting oil after abandoning the almost empty oil well years later . this is why arguably only combustion is proper, in rear mid engine weight distribution , rear wheel drive , with limited slip differential for minimal tire wear even in normal driver driving , for preserving momentum around turns more without too much slowing down by lateral (left /rights) g forces tires. genetically better population is being replaced with one that is more likley to be less loyal to each other and more loyal to selfish elites, and even they probably will be replaced with others, until theres noone left except the elites and few servants. so even hybrid seems useless. so overpopulation isnt a problem so running out of materials by over use probably wont happen. can you prove climate change is caused by human caused co2 or that its just milkovitch cycle of earths magnetic field tilting etc causing stuff like the usual natural ice ages etc? also see blackgrock esg score and their climatechnge talk, and see how they promote nonsense with ot of money, see colbert report "how blagroc conquered theworld" etc . . about climat change, see tony heller, tom nelson, suspicious observers, youtube chanels. i haff to talk like this znezorshp reasons

I don’t think people understand how much of a marvel of engineering the Prime version of this car is. Being able to have amongst the highest efficiencies as an EV while lugging around a 2.0L AND simultaneously being able to have the highest efficiencies as a Hybrid while lugging around a 13.6kW battery is insane. AND it goes 0-60 in under 7 seconds? Ridiculous.

TBH, Toyota eCVT is pretty much the same in every hybrid (except Max and i-Force versions). After 25 years, you might have a lot of information on this powertrain ... you only have to type it in KZbin / Google - Car Care Nut has a really lovely and really long video regarding eCVT. BTW, instant response is not a CVT effect, but those are electric motors filling the power gap of ICE part.

The Prius Prime is the best value for a vehicle in Canada right now. With the federal 5k discount, it's cheaper than a regular prius, uses very little gas, and will be reliable for 20 years. Quebec and BC get an even better deal. Good luck finding one, though.

Agreed. The Prime (charging in our driveway at the moment), cost far less than the closest priced EV but it burns very little gas. The car is six weeks old and still has over half of the dealer tank-up in the tank. It glides in EV mode for a realistic 80km. Costs us around $1.72 to charge overnight. Best value by far.............

Yes, it's different people buying it though. Installing a circuit for level 2 charging for a BEV would be over $10,000 in some places (once you factor in permits, trenching, concrete work, panel upgrade, etc.) which easily wipes out the price and efficiency difference.

If I could roll my own Prius it would have the same ride height, a bit taughter suspension. 17 in lightweight wheels with 215-55-17's and more side bolster. The electronics are fantastic.

Don't get me wrong - I owned a '90 CRX for 5 years back in the day and LOVED it. I only sold it because I bought an S2000. BUT...that 50mpg CRX was likely an Hf model and had a top speed only marginally above your MPG (I had a DX and it was slow but didn't quite get 50mpg). The CRX had precisely 2 seats, no safety features (save a seatbelt), was immensely tiny, had absolutely crap radio, and was prone to leaking. This new Prius gets its MPG while being gigantically faster while offering significantly more space for people and/or luggage, has very good tech, is very comfortable, and has excellent safety features. Comparing the two cars and saying "but I got this mpg before" is like saying you were once able to make it to the North Pole on a dog sled when looking at the Top Gear Polar Special. Sure it happened, but that's about the only thing in common between the two forms of transport.

The cargo area got smaller. I don’t know. The previous version was nice. I test drove a white 2019 Prius. I liked it. The AC was sooooo cold. It was 100 degrees that day and the car was sitting in the lot all day in the hot sun and it cooled down like nothing. My glasses were foggy. I never been in a car like that before. I don’t know if it’s because it was white color etc. but I noticed during the 20 minute test drive the gas gauge went down a bit. I was expecting it not to at all being a hybrid. 🤷‍♂️ what gives.

Good news (prediction) has arrived. A derivative model of the current Prius is scheduled to be released. The car name in Japan is "Prius α". A station wagon-like minivan (overall height 1,545mm). It is slightly larger than a sedan except for its overall width, offering good visibility and ease of driving.The rear seats are spacious, and three-row seating is available.The rear has power sliding doors on both sides. The powertrain is a 2-liter hybrid and a 1.8-liter hybrid. It appears that a 1.8-liter hybrid will be available for the first time for the general public. The 1.8 liter has less power than the 2 liter at 140 HP, but the fuel efficiency is excellent and seems to exceed 70 MPG. I will report further information as soon as I catch it. Toyota's new 5th generation Prius has undergone major changes to its exterior, making it even cooler. It looks like a 5-door coupe. The new Prius has a large front pillar, so the top of the instrument panel is deeper than the previous model, making it difficult to see the bonnet and the tip of the body. Because the seating position has been lowered, the rear seats feel a little cramped and closed in. Power performance has been significantly improved compared to the previous model. The hybrid system has entered its fifth generation, and the driving force in the practical rotation range has increased. It is easier to drive, including improved power performance, and has improved fuel efficiency.

I think Toyota did a good job at pitching this generation of the Prius. If I may, Toyota know that the market is congested and they also know that they need to sell more hybrids. Thus, this Prius generation came to be. I think it was right timing especially since Toyota hasn't went all in on EVs. I suppose a possible slogan for this generation of the Prius is something in the line of "A performance hybrid!"

Currently I can get a Tesla cheaper than Prius. Toyota interest rate is like 9%. Not to mention 3-6k dealer add ons. My wife has has a 2006 and 2014 Prius and loves it. Can’t decide. Leaning towards Tesla at the moment

The BZ4X/Solterra made more sense for me with all the incentives and rebates. I don't need gas. But I am glad to see I share common parts with such a popular model.

my older prius (2019) has more driver's headroom space inside, cuz toyota had to make this new one more aerodynamic and have the highest point of the car located past behind the driver's seat area. The neighbor I have down the street tells me he frequently hits his head on the top door well area while getting in and out of his 2023 prius, and he's 2 inches shorter than me and I'm over 6ft.

I leased a 2024 Toyota Prius, however, the gas engine is not that powerful, and I had a bad experience when I drove the car to the highway, the gas engine blew up after 7 months of use, and the vehicle was towed back to the dealer and no sure how long it can be fixed up. Not worth IMO.

Is the height of this vehicle still shrunk? What I remember when I tried the newest Prius is that it was hard to get in and out of, and the rear seat was unusable to me.

no thanks, I rather have full battery electric. Much more power and fun, and I rather not pay for hybrid that still needs some gas. If you have solar, EV is the best way. And toyota is still behind in tech and outdated softwares

I feel like the Prius went from the only hybrid to one focused on fuel efficiency more then the other ones and now it's more of a budget hybrid. Increasing horsepower and making it awd (exclusively in some markets) kind of defeats the point of it being all meant for fuel efficiency.

I think it's a great car, but don't understand why the marketing department sends them this extreme, non-descriptive color, grey. It's available in much more attractive colors, like yellow and red. This color is so dull.

Hard to believe that this car similarly equipped is more expensive than a Model 3 after rebates. Smaller, slower, more moving parts, less tech. Sure, EV is not for everyone, but boy this car is overpriced.
