2024 Toyota Prius LE Hybrid Quick Review

[@VagabondBuilds]

We didn't expect to fall in love with the new PRIUS! And the MPG this car gets you, it's insane!!!! ❤

[@Almighty_cornholio]

Thanks for covering the base model

[@VagabondBuilds]

No problem!

[@cuve_ae]

I’ve got the 23 Prius LE, Toyota has totally won me over. Used to be a Mopar guy I’ve had 2 Rams, Charger, challenger, Grand Cherokee, & Caravan. Now I’m looking to trade in my 19 Ram for a 24 Tundra and grabbing a RAV4 prime.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Wow… you don’t play around. Haha

[@peasantlaborer6084]

You may want to Buy one of the last model years of the Tundra with the V8, Toyota is having some problems with the new turbo Tundras, there is several automotive channels that cover this topic KZbin. Just my 2 cents, however best of Luck on your automotive purchase endeavors.

[@cuve_ae]

@@peasantlaborer6084 yeah I’ve seen that actually today, think I’ll upgrade the Prius to the Prime & still get that rav4 prime. Gonna hold onto the Ram till they figure it out, preciate ya brother.

Thanks for the review in the rain! I was considering the corolla hybrid but it just has the regular cvt and the Prius has the e-cvt. Plus the nice front end and windshield reminds me of my 2010 Honda Civic coupe

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad I could help!

[@Just_me_and_yo]

Straight to the point presentation and camera always at the right time in the right position. 👏

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for the support! Appreciated! Glad we can be of help.

[@trentonquick9740]

Thank you for the video! It's solidified my decision in picking up one of these as my next vehicle as I search for something to get better mpg. I'll still never understand how a car at this price point in 2024 can have an unresponsive touchscreen. Don't get me wrong, it looks more than usable, but with touchscreen technology nowadays, it's astonishing how slow responding a touchscreen in a $30k car can be.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad I can be of help! Thanks for the input. But I see what you’re saying.

[@brazilianbold]

I’m falling in love with this car.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Don’t blame you! It’s a nice car.

[@lulun3724]

I have my car coming in 2 weeks. I love everything about it with the exception of the navigation. Don’t understand how a 2024 can be so behind requiring one to connect through AirPlay. Everything else is perfect

[@VagabondBuilds]

I hear ya!! Glad to hear you like it! Great choice on the MPG! Haha

[@walethegreat]

I’m a student and I’ve been looking for cars that are hybrid, stylish, and have a good mpg range. This might just be it. Nice video by the way. ❤

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good choice! Thanks for the compliment

[@silvertube52]

I believe it is actually less aerodynamic than the older models, but it looks much better. The major downside is the reduced cargo area. Compared to a 2010 Prius, it much smaller, won't be able to haul stuff. Might not have enough space for all the stuff I need for Burning Man.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yea. I have to say, the cargo area was a loss but the car in general looks much better. Better mpg as well

[@Uh-huh-uh-huh]

I still have my '05 Prius (incredible car if you take care of it). I really hate to say this cause I want to upgrade, but although this new one looks far better, I like my 2nd Gen still better than this new one (with the exception of the seats). They forgot who their market was, the low roofline just doesn't work, and I'd like my spare tire please. Keyless entry was standard in my '05 and I prefer the old sliding trunk cover/lid liner than the new solid piece (to cover trunk). I want to upgrade, but I think I'll have to wait or look another car option (Maybe Model 3 or Elantra).

[@VagabondBuilds]

I see and understand where you’re coming from honestly. I was a big space prius guy as well.

[@ramonparadela7817]

Yes, the 2024 Toyota Prius LE comes standard with remote keyless entry and a push-button start. Toyota calls this feature Smart Entry, which allows you to enter your vehicle without a key.

[@picvidstuff]

Excellent Vid

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you

[@Teslamonial]

Great job guys! You crushed this!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks a bunch!!! Glad you liked it!

[@anifanjabil6063]

What a nice presentation.Thank you ! Very nice Car

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you! Glad we can be of help!

[@ilie2750]

Nice video! Keep going!

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks, will do!

[@suryak657]

Is it worth considering buy? I am looking for Hybrid AWD cars so thinking if i can consider this ? Thanks.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes, definitely but it’s not AWD…. Honestly… it’s great from the perspective of hybrid and reliability. Just AWD is a bit thing…

[@suryak657]

Oh. I thought it's AWD

[@TomLawlor-iq6gm]

@@VagabondBuilds In Canada this model is called SE. Here, all trim levels of the regular Prius come with AWD as a standard feature. But, sadly, the Prime version does not have AWD in any trim level. No room for a third electric motor, the battery is too big to allow one. No room for a spare under the hatch either. Toyota has a Spare Kit that includes a full size tire and rim, wrench and jack and, a steel plate to put over the electrical junction under the floor. Alas, the kit will not fit in the Prime models, again, due to the large battery.

[@PreludeSon]

Do they have the "markup" cost at that dealer?

[@VagabondBuilds]

They didn’t on this car.

[@jamesnicol3831]

17 inch wheels/tires the way to go

[@VagabondBuilds]

Why do you say that?

[@DicksonMaimouth]

You get a bit better gas mileage with those and they’re a less expensive tire, at least in my area of So Cal. I’m uncertain about the aesthetic, however.

[@ThangHoang-fy7gj]

How can I fold side mirror please

[@VagabondBuilds]

You have to manually fold them.

[@diaperdood1]

since it doesn't have lumbar support...does it still support the lower back?

[@VagabondBuilds]

I mean, it’s decently comfortable but not like an actual lumbar supported seat.

[@EverythingEverywhereFun]

May I know what is the out the door price for you?

[@VagabondBuilds]

For me? It is the same exact as you if I was to buy. I’m not a salesman. I just review the dealerships cars.

[@Chris.794]

No heated seats for the front on the LE trim?

[@VagabondBuilds]

No

[@fharrison3011]

Well good luck not get screwed over by dealers tho

[@VagabondBuilds]

Well, along with many other places in this world now unfortunately

[@rosiemeng7330]

Do both back seats drop down?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Yes they do.

[@douglas7260]

No spare??? Tires are not run flats. What do they expect you to do with a flat?

[@VagabondBuilds]

I know… I hate the idea of the EV movement getting rid of spare tires…. They need to solve this issue.

[@ChristianGastelum-t6n]

He is cute❤

[@VagabondBuilds]

May Jesus Christ bless you.

[@edsonmartinspoli]

The kwh battery is ?

[@VagabondBuilds]

13.6 KWH

[@TomLawlor-iq6gm]

@@VagabondBuilds The 2024 Prime has a 13.6 Kwh battery. The regular (non-plug-in), Prius has a much smaller battery.

[@agpawpaw5912]

Unfortunately Prius cargo getting smaller and smaller. Now bike not going to fit inside. No more bike rack, because of glass all way up on tailgate.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I have to agree. The old Prius was nice because the space.

[@DicksonMaimouth]

I saw a video a couple of days ago where a guy put his bike (mountain bike, I think) in the back, but he had to remove the front tire. Not bad, unless you have more than one bike you’re transporting.

[@carlostheexplorer9840]

Android Auto/ Apple Carplay?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Are you asking because you don’t know what those two things are?

[@carlostheexplorer9840]

@@VagabondBuilds sorry, I was asking if it's compatible with Apple car play. When I look on the dealer sites it doesn't list it as compatible

[@carlostheexplorer9840]

@@VagabondBuilds or I should say it doesn't list it all. Usually it'll have that under the features of any car. Was just wondering, appreciate your time

[@VagabondBuilds]

It is compatible with them. I believe so.
