Toyota Prius PHEV (prime) CITY fuel consumption economy real test mpg l/100 km urban traffic Plug-In

[@joaopinho2361]

Dziękuję Tomasz, you are the real MVP! Very useful test. Toyota really outdid themselves with the new Prius. It remains the most efficient car on the market and probably more ecological than any electric, taking everything into account. And to top it all off, it’s pretty and quite fast. I would probably buy one if it wasn’t for the small storage capacity.

[@GoodMood4U]

Thus, smaller wheels are a better option than solar roof. :D I don't understand this trend with bigger and bigger wheels especially for cars that are designed to be economical.

[@TimEndzeit]

This car is designed to look cool first - the economics came second

[@dkdanis1340]

Depends on multiple factors. Bigger wheels can be efficient.

[@GoodMood4U]

@@dkdanis1340 Can you please add more details? Usually bigger wheals are not good for fuel economy.

[@StudioLibros]

@GoodMood4U the bigger wheels looks so much better on this car 😁

Faktycznie jak było zapowiedziane blisko było magicznej granicy 3.0 :) Brawo!

[@StudioLibros]

Thanks Tomasz, another detailed and scientific test (I watched just today), good job with video edit - it must have been a lot of work to tune the video speed (I see it is variable) and sync with all the onscreen titles!

Have u posted highway consumption? I cant seem to find it

[@x0x0xxxx68]

I am confused about the range. The gasoline tank has 40 liter capacity and yet the max range prediction didn't went higher than 660 to 700km. If a consumption of under 3 liter, it should have a range of 1200km and more.

[@1001cars]

Because this is only calculation? It would be meaningless to show estimated range based on ~30 km trip. Usually it takes much longer distance which usually includes highway driving.

[@1001cars]

Loot at this movie and look at estimated range at start of the trip and look at what I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIHapGOahZWEiM0

[@x0x0xxxx68]

@@1001cars I know but the cars I used to drive at least include the tendency of the recent 50km in their range prediction. If I fill up the tank and the computer tells me an estimated range of 900km, based on a 6L/100km avarage consumption since the last fill up and then I do 50km trip with an avarage consumption of 4L/100km, the range will not just jump to like 1200/1300 km it will go up a little (like to 980-1000) instead of losing that 50km driven range. So by the experience those predixtions were made by long term usage, but influenced by the recent trends which is not happening here but hey, the Prius might be first Toyota so who maybe I learn new things.

[@sasajungic89]

Toyotas calculation is always off imo. Mine says it’s empty and range is zero but there is still 8l left in the tank. I have a 2021 Corolla hybrid

[@timogronroos4642]

Toyota's consumption (C-HR) calculations are a joke compared to my previous VW Tiguan. I will slowly show a more realistic number after hundreds of kilometers of drive.

[@x0x0xxxx68]

May you do a test on how much it consumes at steady 120kmh highway speed?

[@1001cars]

Yes, I am going to publish it soon.

It's amazing how much EV only drive you get out of the new Prius even when the battery shows 0%. Just ordered this car for myself, can't wait to see how many kilometers I get out of the EV mode!

[@1001cars]

Thank you :) I hope you will be able to achieve over 100 km in EV mode with battery charged

[@TomLawlor-iq6gm]

@@1001cars After a 21 month wait our 2024 Prime arrived. Our third Prius but first Prime. To date, our best range in EV was 91Km, though there was still 6% SOC left. The car would have hit 100Km. A few days ago after an overnight charge the computer estimated a 98Km range. Note: to achieve such a range, you must turn off as many electrical loads as possible. So, no heat or AC, etc.

[@1001cars]

@@TomLawlor-iq6gm great results :) 100 km is possible with AC in (almost) the best conditions :)

[@TomLawlor-iq6gm]

@@1001cars I agree. But in our local terrain there are numerous hills. To take my wife to her post retirement job we have to descend a 500' hill and, then climb back up. No level roadways around here. It's all up and down, like a dogs stomach. Best Prius we've ever owned, by far.

[@runebdrim6733]

is it worth to buy a phev if you cannot recharge at home, only in public places maybe every weekend? driving it like this meanwhile?

[@1001cars]

In my opinion NOT. Regular, full hybrid will be better for such scenario

[@Ari9310]

O, super test. Mega oszczędne autko, ciekawy jestem jaki ma udział w mniejszym spalaniu mniejsza felga a jaki ma efektywność A względem C. Obie opony mają 195mm więc strzelałbym że efektywność dała więcej od wielkości... Pozdro ;)

[@kaminskydj]

Jestem wręcz przekonany, że kluczową kwestią jest tutaj nie sam rozmiar felgi, ale jej kształt. Zwróć proszę uwagę na kształt felgi 17". Jest bardziej obudowana struktura wpływa pozytywnie na mniejsze zawirowania powietrza, a tym samym na mniejszy opór stawiany przez samo auto i mniejsze spalanie. Swoją drogą gratuluję autorowi filmu za tak bardzo rzetelny test spalania/zużycia energii. To właśnie dzięki pierwszemu testowi nowego Priusa trafiłem na ten kanał i subskrybowałem :) Drogi autorze, jeśli to czytasz, czy mógłbyś mi odpowiedzieć na nurtujące mnie pytanie: ile czasu realnie zajmuje naładowanie baterii od teoretycznego zera (czyli od ok. 18%) do 100% i do 80% z ładowarki 22 kW? Różne źródła podają różne wartości (na jednym z portali spotkałem się z informacją, że ta generacja wspiera ładowanie 6,6 kW, co szybko udało mi się zdementować). Ogólnie wg informacji prasowych ze strony japońskiej producenta (po przetłumaczeniu katalogu PDF) dotarłem, że Prius obsługuje ładowanie 3,3 kW tak jak wszystkie poprzednie generacje Plug-in), ale dotarłem też do informacji, że jest to jednak 3,1 kW. Chyba w niemieckim katalogu dotarłem też do informacji, że czas ładowania to 4 godziny, co mimo wszystko wydaje mi się czasem zawyżonym, nawet uwzględniając stratę energii na poziomie ok. 5%. Czy realne jest też ok. 8 km zasięgu po jednym dniu ładowania w słoneczny dzień? Marek Drives twierdzi, że osiągnął jednie 1/5 deklarowanego potrzebnego przyrostu mocy w słoneczny dzień w lipcu w Polsce. Swojego Priusa właśnie w wersji Executive zamówiłem na początku lipca, produkcja ma ruszyć jeszcze w tym miesiącu, odbiór listopad, grudzień. Już się nie mogę doczekać! :)

It would be interesting see these hybrid cars on a different trip from city, maybe up to 120-110 km/h

[@mrxman581]

That's not the Prime version. The ambient light stripe on the Prime is red not blue. This car has a blue light stripe which means it's the regular hybrid Prius, not the PHEV.

[@1001cars]

It is Plug-in Hybrid version (in the USA called prime) and there is plenty of evidence on the video it is a PHEV, not HEV.

[@mrxman581]

@1001cars The tell tale sign is the ambient light strip on the dash. The regular hybrid is blue, and the PHEV/Prime is red. That is true no matter where you get it. The video shows a blue ambient light strip. The dash shown is a regular hybrid. You can check a number of videos on YT and you can see for yourself. I have a 2023 Prius Prine and the color is red. BTW, the color cannot be changed either.

[@1001cars]

@@mrxman581 you forgot it is European version of this car. Also: you can easily see the battery level on the left side and... electric range in EV mode. Send me the proof that regular hybrid (non plug-in) has EV range etc. Also: it is the same car: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i569dn6Yr82toMU Is it PHEV (prime) or HEV?

@@1001cars I apologize. I think it's an issue with the way to color comes across through the camera. But I'm sure the color of the light strip must have been red in person.

@@mrxman581 You can clearly see next to the 'EV' light is the additional 'HV Mode' light which is specific to the PHEV model. Different markets have different options/trim

[@lasselasse2440]

Wow. I'm not impressed at all. I was hoping for much, much more. I would have thought that with the 17 inchers it would at least be under 3 liters. Then I can continue to drive my Corolla with peace of mind and not have to think about buying it. The same thing comes out in terms of consumption.

[@timogronroos4642]

You are forgetting this is without any extra juice in PHEV battery. Just 15% extra left in the battery and the result would have been different.

[@timogronroos4642]

And If have no intention charging the battery, it’s absolutely best to keep your Corolla

Well, the consumption is lower at 40/50 compared to 30 km/h, this is why I was mostly driving at speed 40-60 km/h, not 30 like you said.
