- One of the many pillars of car enthusiasm is that the Prius is not cool, except now, that 'rule' is being challenged. The Prius looks better, drives better, is faster, and lets not forget it looks better. So the question now is, what reason is there to pass on the Prius, if any?

2024 Toyota Prius XLE AWD Listing

We have a 2024 Prius Prime. Not that it matters much to us, but, it has a 0~60 time of 6.48 seconds and, 223hp. Difficult for us to comment much on mpg as we've had but one highway trip in the 3 and 1/2 months of ownership. On that run we saw 61.2mpg after the battery was depleted (82Km in EV at highway speed before the hybrid system activated). The car now has nearly 5,000Km on it and we have bought 1/2 tank of fuel (after the dealer gas was spent). That says enough for us regarding milage. For us, the car is essentially a BEV.
If you can afford the extra cost of a Prime model it's the way to go for sure. Gas here currently costs $6.75 a gallon (down from around $7.00 pg a year ago), and hydro costs us less than .1325kwh (actually it's less as that figure includes the basic Service Charge (of around $30), you pay even if you consume zero power in a month). That means we can charge from "empty" for $1.80 and drive 80+Km. That's far less than we'd pay for regular gas here. In fact, running in EV Mode for us costs 3.75 times less than fuel would for the same distance. And, here we received a $5,000 rebate at purchase, making the Prime the same cost as the regular hybrid. The US government really needs to consider offering a rebate for plug-in cars manufactured off-shore, it's a fast way to reduce carbon emissions.
All this and, it's a blast to drive. The 17's on our model make for higher milage and a better ride. This car has the aero wheel covers, and, no, that's not Toyota's way of "cheeping out". Under those plastic hub-caps you'll find a fine set of alloy wheels.
That is excellent ownership feedback. Thanks for chiming in in such detail!
Also, I don't care what anyone says, the aero wheel covers look great!
Why tf does this car look better than my MB EQS
This looks better than everything....
@@carcaveofficial let's not get ahead of ourselves.
well said. I bought one in Black XLE. Love it so far.
Congrats mate! Thanks for watching!
Would like to see the phone eject out once fully charged, like in a toaster
If it did, I would buy one. Toyota needs to hire you
I hope Toyota sends these to India they never sold a Prius here, in a price sensitive market as in India they decided to bring corolla, innova & fortuner the prius makes total sense here instead.
They should, the Prius is genuinely impressive!
Enjoy it on video because you’re more likely to find a big foot, a unicorn, or a Dodo bird on a Toyota lot before you’ll see the ever-elusive 2024 Prius.
Seriously, we finally want the prius, but we can't have it. Life just isn't fair.
Underrated channel
Much appreciated mate!
So the only problem u have with prius is how it looks? 90% of people wants an efficient good car to get from A to B. If u want a good looking car the market has plenty, Prius was built for efficiency not for car enthusiast
This is true, but now...even car enthusiasts can get the Prius!
Toyota, what took you so long to get it right?
Good things take time!
