Slightly bigger and with just a little bit more tech, the 2012 Toyota Prius V may usher in a new car category called the mini mini-van that just happens to be a hybrid.
@@hedgehogthesonic3181 I think the look of the regular Prius embarrasses some people. The new one looks a little better, but I can understand the sentiment.
Yeah good point. I'm used to getting 20 mpg so I think I'll be thrilled with it. I rarely carry heavy things. I have to put my grandma's walker in the back so I'll need that extra space on a regular basis. I also carry emergency supplies at all times so the extra hidden cubby space suits me too. I have my little critter whose crate I carry and like having added space for when I go shopping. I picked it up today. At certain points my MPG was 99.9 I LOVE my new V already.
What's the deal with the AM RADIO D.J. Disc Jockey persona & the Groucho meets Frank Zappa mustache???? Did you have 6 extra cups of black ☕ coffee this morning???
I use my cargo space constantly, the V has the same cargo space as the RAV when the back seats are down, best of both worlds with the V IMO.
Perhaps the only Prius I won't be embarrassed to be seen in.

Abood W Yeah.
No reason to be embarrassed on a Prius, it's the most reliable and efficient non electric car you can buy.

Yes it is! Can't wait to have more girlie of a car again! And 44mpg that's twice what my RAV4 gets! SO excited!
You still have the prius v?
7 years later and the new RAV4 hybrid gets 41/38 mpg.

What's the deal with the AM RADIO D.J.
Disc Jockey persona & the Groucho meets Frank Zappa mustache????

AWESOME! I'm happy for you! Mine arrives tomorrow. Can hardly wait to see it. I purchased it sight unseen lol. That's a first for me.
How did you like it?
Very , very impressive !
yea good point too :) bulky items not necessarily heavy makes good sense too..
3:24 "Like all Prii"
Is that official? Or is "Priuses" the correct one for plural usage?
Is he sure it's 214hp from the 1.8 engine-hybrid system? My standard Prius does 134HP with both battery and engine mixed.
No, it's a mistake
134 is combined it’s not 214
compact being the key word there
I have this car and it is my man driver love it
Please tell me why you love it I’m bout to get a Prius and I’m not sure which but I’m leaning towards a v
it it really that different from a subcompact, how often are you really going to use that hatch space...
Thats what it means for the normal prius, but for the prius V it means "versatility".
I thought the "V" meant 5 as in the Roman numeral......
im gonna drag race with this :)))
... .why is this only playing on my center speaker?
WANT!
Honda Civic with 40mpg for 20 stacks. seems like a better deal to me
HELLO😄🎀OSAKApriusグループより。⛽快適です。😅🎀
wooo $26k for a base? I would rather drive around on a sub-compact which already get 40mph hwy with out the hybrid complexity.
I have this car, trim level five w/o the glass roof.
How do you like it do you recommend? Any thing I should kno b4 buying
I am having trouble finding Toyota Prius ALPHA 😑
Same kind of jokes he already did while reviewing the standard Prius :D
For UK Its Prius+
we use them for personal and for taxi use
Makes a lot more sense lol
@@artvandelayimports What do you mean?
hmm, if it is light cargo it may make sense, but if it gets massive then the saving may disappear.. i am a physics major..
