14:39 this is just not true, the new Prius has as much as 25% *less* cargo capacity (20-24 cu.ft. vs 25-27). New Prius also has smaller storage bins, less headroom (especially rear, but also driver), and dramatically worse visibility. I do like the new headlights, but I don't understand why they chose to butcher the usability of the vehicle. They could have just bonked that face and engine on the old body and had a real winner. Style over substance is even a safety issue. Overstyled door panels breaking the dummy's back despite excellent structure hurt Toyota's crash test results on multiple recent vehicles. Is 17:52 a subtle jab at Hyundai?
We made it more since was my 2008 Nissan Versa four-door manual sedan (Not the hatchback). These are some of the best cap secrets. Nissan didn't bring that many to America but they're hugely popular overseas and in Mexico. Super inexpensive. I got 40 mi for a gallon driving this 3,000 lb roomy sedan that only cost me $9999. I put a radio in it for 200 bucks. Bare bones no ridiculous electronics simple old-fashioned car with a balanced low maintenance engine lightweight long wheelbase which still was working well on New York State roads. I put 150,000 miles on it and barely put any money into it other than general maintenance and exhaust system and a ground cable. Nothing can touch this cost. I wish they still made them
I know that styling it’s subjective but I think that its the best part of this redesing. Looks better than everything in the previous Prius generations.
I was pretty impressed with this vehicle, considering in the past it was just playing boring and not pretty at all. Big changes or equal big sales for Toyota.
Liked the 2010, with 254k miles, it is still a supplies vehicle within a 50 mile radius. Still all original hybrid system, including batteries. Out parts girl gets 54mpg in town. Maybe 51 highway. Car is meticulously maintained in our fleet. So this Prius would be perfect for the crew.
I had to drop a family member off to pick-up her Honda from the service dept and every single salesman came out to look at my two week old Prius. Two of them actually took pictures of it because none of them had seen one in person.
You should try asking Jeremy Clarkson about his opinion of the Prius... 🤣..💥🙄🤣 first 👍 about the review...so, when do i get the beef on weck reward...😂
Would be nice if Toyota actually did gather feedback from customers. I called them and they said they don’t. I love the new look but disappointed in the lowered seats, big expensive tires and decrease in cargo space. Plus unable to remote start without $15 per month subscription. Thanks for detailed review.
Regarding the drag coefficient of this car ---- which you mention in your review --- the Cd of the 2023 Prius is .27 while the previous generation has a Cd = .24 ; What Toyota claim is that they reduced the frontal area of the 2023 so that the overall aerodynamic drag is about the same as the previous generation. Reading between the lines it is probably a bit higher. But strictly in terms of aerodynamic efficiency, this new generation is worse than its progenitor.
Yes, this and other reviewers are doing poor journalism on that issue. The new Prius sacrificed aerodynamics, cargo space, and headroom for better looks.
No! It does not have more cargo space. You repeated say it has more room. That's false, it has significantly less cargo area than the prior generation of Prius. It also has less headroom and further reduction in visibility in rear view mirror.
The controls look very complicated. I would have to sit down with someone for some length of time to understand the car. There are controls on my 2013 Cruze that I still don't know anything about, mostly because I drive very little. I like physical controls.

This makes more sense than an EV. One EV battery could make 40 Prius

Two weeks with my 2023 Prius Limited AWD after waiting six months for it and I couldn't be happier.
Thats awesome - thank you for sharing your positive experience. Enjoy!
6'4" 240 pound Man can't fit comfortably in the driver side. Don't even ask about your friends in the backseats. It's a two person EV.

Man, that is HOT! Never thought that I would ever say that about a Prius! Great review, Lauren Marie!😂
I had to drop a family member off to pick-up her Honda from the service dept and every single salesman came out to look at my two week old Prius. Two of them actually took pictures of it because none of them had seen one in person.
. You bought the right whip!
Very cool
I always appreciate your reviews, thank you for the thoroughness. I'll take a serious look at this as I love our hybrid Highlander.
We aim to please! We'll keep doing our best to provide thorough reviews and help you make the best decision when it comes to your next car.

Great review, Lauren! I still think the base Prime SE is the model to go with but those who need AWD must go with the non-Prime. 👍
I agree
Well TBH I Tried Everything even a Tucson Hybrid AWD Blue Edition. I Recently Bought a New 2023 Sonata Hybrid Blue Edition FWD 13.5 Gas Tank, 50mpg.❤😊
I absolutely LOVE this thing.

I think it's a good car, how many customers could afford it?
We must try to get your channel over the 100k subscribers barrier 🏴📡🇺🇸
Hi Lauren, I have one across the street from me. Worked at the BMW dealership on Main Street in Williamsville. Works on my lovely Chevy. Lol

Best commuter car for the city life.
92nd thumbs up!
My favorite Hybrid
Me too
If only it didn't look like an egg.
i'd get one if it came with a Nitrous system
You'll have to install that yourself or by an expert. Lots of luck doing that without voiding the warranty.
