Jeff, I am seriously considering purchasing this new limited Prius. I obviously will need to test drive one first. A HUGE factor for me will be if Toyota will offer removable cross bars for the limited trim with this glass roof. They were offered on the previous Prius model however I do not see them available for the new model on Toyota's site. Can you please confirm if the cross bars will be available for the new Prius? Thanks and Merry Christmas!
I wished they made xSe's. Make 'em sportier than luxurious. XLE/LIMITED, not sure if FWD or AWD, good point u brought up sits 6". I didnt get AWD on my 2019 because they sit so low. I'd be plowing the road with my underside or gettn stuck anyway.
LE for me, has all safety connect features, has all safety features also other than pano camera, has smoother quieter ride with normal size alloy wheels with covers that will be cheaper to replace, substantially higher MPG, same engine so no loss of performance, only model to have spare tire and for some reason it also boasts 4 more cubic feet of rear cargo space and more head room with no glass roof. No smart key, but I have never had that so does not change my daily routine I am used to in that area. Plus $10 grand less price, I am all in on LE.
I'd love to choose features. Smart key is great, never have to worry about keys except for having it in your pocket. Smaller wheels. Would probably get the all wheel drive or prime. Sunroof is difficult as I'd like it, but not having it gives more room and less weight up top. It'll be a while before I consider it anyway. Costs 10x more at least than my used one xD
🎄Merry Christmas, Jeff!🎄 U talked me into my 2019 Prius Limited but u can't on Gen 5 Prius. Not because I don't like it, I'm too old, on fixed income now, my car is paid off, & I have too much invested in it. Mine is ceramic coated, undercoated, partial PPF'd, & LED'd all interior, back up, rear turn signal bulbs. But if I could, I get this year's! It's gorgeous! I will just have to envy/drool. And dont get me wrong, I ❤ my Limited!! 🎅🇺🇸
I think it looks very stylish. I would not want black because so hard to keep clean. What other colors will they offer? Jeff can you do a video or even a clip about the Toyota Mirai? I have seen those here in So Cal a few times and I don't even know what a fuel cell car IS. Educate me, Toyota Professor! I have a 23 Rav4 hybrid that I just picked up 2 weeks ago and I am in looove. I don't think I'll ever go back to a sedan. :)
1:19 is that premium package "advance park" the feature that turns the steering wheel for us? or is that something else? at 2:11 why does the light keep blinking like that?
9:32 if you push the seat forward and take off the headrest and lean the seat back, does it create an extra long almost flat cargo space? Also I wonder if you can squeeze a single bed in this car like the older ones. I'm guessing not
Overall the vehicle is longer and wider so you probably will be able to fit a sleeping pad there, just it's two inches shorter height so you don't have as much wiggle room there.
Great video, the front license plate mount I think ruins the front end, also wish you would of shown the 360 camera views, also the high display on driver side will it be blocked by the steering wheel, and will we be able to get this car in Ohio, never could get our hands on the RAV Prime
Seriously considering - - this one didn't have the HUD which I thought was standard on the Limited. Also, is JBL still the stereo system of choice for Toyota? Someone let me know - - I've extended my lease on my fuel cell (Honda) and this is a strong contender as a replacement.
No HUD no more unfortunately ! Toyotas seems to think that tiny "7 inch" screen can replace it.... Very annoying decision ! The exterior is great but they should have kept the Prius known dash layout and improved it !
@@cf6965 Agreed about the driver display screen being much smaller is weird, that huge central screen on the previous Priuses was easily a safety feature in itself. Also even in normal cars with the steering wheel based screen they're usually around 10", it's like tunnel vision to look further away and see a 7" screen. Also not to mention the odd looking way it goes between the steering column to the display. The obvious reason is they put the console screen up center like they do on most cars nowadays and you can't physically center both as they would overlap. A way to mitigate that would being able to use split screen on it and give the driver information on the left half while the car is in motion, but it doesn't appear the software can handle that at this point. Hopefully they can do that in a future software update or offer bigger driver displays in a yearly update, but all together it's just a loss from previous Prii as it's still safer than a normal display beneath the steering wheel.
I bought my 2021 Prius Prime Limited for $29,000 after tax rebates and get an average of 122 mpg. I can see that this is faster and sleeker but it seems like a step backwards.
sleeker = remove practicality and storage to make it look like every other car on the market, haha I got a 2015 Prius brand new under 20k with 0% interest loan.
Pls someone tell me if this is a compatible car for a family of three(i have a toddler) is enough the cargo space?! Or should i look to buy another car?’ I love this and it will be my first car
Jeff, does a PHEV operate the same as a HEV when it comes to city driving? Or does a PHEV only give you the option of battery or gas.. I want to know if the PHEV helps you off red lights like the HEV does.
This is supposed to be a hybrid and yet you only can see your battery status when you switch to the energy monitor screen ? The thing I don't like about this new Prius is that you can't display multiple information at the same time as you could in gen. 4 ! In gen. 4 I could see my battery status at all times, the time I have been driving, my cosumpton, my assistance systems,traffic sign recognition and navigation all at the same time ! All gone now ! That screen is just too tiny and the layout of the graphics is not smart and the part for the speedo and energy flow takes up way too much space very unnecessarily. Now you have to toggle through the menu while driving ! That's not good and is distracting !
It's more of a Mustang than the Mach E... simply because it's not an SUV, it's a decent looking car, I'll never buy one of these Priuses, but that's a state-of-the-art Frontline EV automobile from Toyota..
Dude- you're hilarious & thorough - u have a new subscriber! I get your old school ish humor- I guess we're near the same 'demographic' (old dudes?!~), perhaps haha 😅
Wow, anybody can get their face on UA-cam! Is this guy for real? How about sticking to reviewing without all the poor dramatics. Prius looks like a winner. To bad their designers/engineers could not figure in a rear wiper. Just hope the digital mirror option will function well when raining. And for the price there should be a power passenger seat. I have owned less expensive cars that had power passenger seat. There is a lot of hype about the 2023 Prius but I doubt one can be bought in the mid west US until well into summer, if even then.
Toyota does not expect the new Prius to be a successful .I have read they think it will be a flop. They do not expect high sales numbers as well the main reason is there are so many other vehicles to choose from in that category. It also has a lot of shortcomings compared to other offerings in the same category.
@@ahmadramzi3471Did you get bit by 🦂 scorpion?😆 You're the one that needs to take your meds. Dummy.. Toyota made the statement theirself that they did not think it was going to be successful.. are you too stupid to read what I wrote down..;!; ???
@@letzgo905 Toyota does know what they're doing that's why they are at the top of their game.. I was surprised when they stated they were not hoping for much out of this vehicle with all the competition just that it would hold its own. The RAV4 prime is hard to get your hands on.. there is a list of people ready to buy them site unseen.
best looking prius ever ..................... unthill you step inside and look at the position of the dashboard. its even a bigger joke than the aftherthot vw cars and its a hibrid so garbidge and when it comes as a ev then again garg-bide bechose its not a dedecated ev platform toyota still thinks its the year 2000
How do you like the new Prius so far? What trim level would you get? What colors of Prius are good?

@@rickfrank7934 merry Christmas!! I haven’t been told about cross bars or other accessories yet unfortunately.
I’ll keep my ears open
I wished they made xSe's. Make 'em sportier than luxurious. XLE/LIMITED, not sure if FWD or AWD, good point u brought up sits 6". I didnt get AWD on my 2019 because they sit so low. I'd be plowing the road with my underside or gettn stuck anyway.
Trim level is the toughie. Do I want mpg or features. Might need to see the LE interior first. Wish the XLE came with the smaller wheels.
Merry Christmas Jeff 🎄
Factory umbrella is what really sold me on this slick little whip
LE for me, has all safety connect features, has all safety features also other than pano camera, has smoother quieter ride with normal size alloy wheels with covers that will be cheaper to replace, substantially higher MPG, same engine so no loss of performance, only model to have spare tire and for some reason it also boasts 4 more cubic feet of rear cargo space and more head room with no glass roof.

If they offered the 17 inch wheels on the XLE it would easily be the most popular model.

Got my Prius L 3 weeks ago, it’s my third Prius and it is NOTHING like the other two. It’s a real car now!
0:24 looks such an amazing design. A world apart to the previous gen prius.
When will you get the prius prime?
Thanks for the video! Could you get black, white and red Prius side by side in the same video so I could compare look. Can't decide color 😂
it looks great in black!
does the rear seat fold down to make more space?
Merry Christmas Jeff! 🎄🎄🎄🎄 I hope Santa brings a Prius V in 2023.
Can you please do a video on the Prius LE. I would like to see the differences.
On the wait list for a limited awd can’t wait to get this 😬
Hey Jeff 👋 Merry Christmas 🎄
Catalytic converter harder to get to know?
I saw u can get a cat cover from dealer. It looks like a box cover. Sorry, I dont remember what site it was on
@Rice Burner yeah its an added expense of course. Hope I can use that extra fee to lower the price of the car at negotiations.😭😭😭
Hey Jeff 😀👋🏼 I'm a salesman around New England area!
1:19 is that premium package "advance park" the feature that turns the steering wheel for us? or is that something else? at 2:11 why does the light keep blinking like that?
The LED “flashing” is just caused from the video recording, it’s not visible in person
Hey Jeff, merry Christmas to you and family. Was hoping to know more about roof rack placement on the new Prius? Thanks homie!
It’s basically a civic hatch with more power and better mpg and AWD 🎉 I see people choosing this car over civic all day every day
All my friends are 6.5 plus how is that going to work with headroom
Hey Jeff do you know if the Prius will come with turn signals on the side view mirrors? Is this a prototype still ?
The sheet shows a real vin number ! So is not prototype. Prototype one at show vin is numbers only
Hey Jeff , some feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time.
Kindred spirit, man! KILLER review.
Merry Christmas Jeff. Thanks again for all the videos
Merry Christmas too!!!!

Your meant to put the steering wheel below the driver display, hopefully they tested this for short people.

It is...
its underwhelming go take it for a test drive, end of the day its still a prius.
No HUD no more unfortunately !

HUDs aren't really needed when you have the driver display at the edge of the windshield, I'm surprised the previous Prius had one.

Can you get Navigation in the XLE and Limited in the Mid-Atlantic states?? Merry Christmas Jeff and Happy New Year!!
What do you mean by Navigation? Native or Carplay?
So... how do we order? And will it be at MSRP or less?

What is "auto lock" in the doors menu ?
Thx

How is the Stereo in the new Prius
Nice it's pack with features
When can I buy one !
What is the color of these leather seats?
should i get this or a bmw i3 for 17,900
Give us base model Jeff!! 😂
Hahaha Toyota only had XLE and Limited for us to evaluate. I would have also liked LE
NICE REVIEW MAN YO MAKE IT FUN TO WATCH, GONNA COP
Prius is electric only?
No announcement at the moment...
No its hybrid. The only EV is the crown
I just got mine today :)
When can one buy this?
Good looking car
Is this available now?
Can this thing go on gravel and dirt roads?
Venza bro?
I will get prius XLE.
What state do you live in??
Holy orange peel in the trunk lid paint, Batman!
No reviews of an LE anywhere, be it FWD or AWD.
