Yes indeed. It is like a space ship on land. I drove one and it is just amazing. Very quick and quiet and 57 mpg. What's not to love about this? It is even affordable
@@alexkristianson4199 I think it's depending your driving style. I have a KIA Niro, official mpg is 54, but I can drive 600 miles in only 10gal of gas.
I've never liked Toyota design for any of their vehicles, but darn tootin, I'm going to buy this. This is absolutely beautiful. More horsepower is a big plus.
Making all electric cars creates more emissions, The raw materials for making the car have to be mined, and the process of mining creates a lot of greenhouse gases. Then the raw materials have to be refined before they can be used, which again emits more greenhouse gas. Then more greenhouse gas is emitted in the manufacturing process…
@@BelleWhoodle so gas combustible cars just appear out of thin air and aren’t composed of ANY materials that have to be mined!?!? They also have lead acid batteries.
@@toyotatalkcanada , Bro , I can creat vehicles designs ( Interior design , Outside & Spare parts ). But my country have not job opportunity this field. before I won international vehicle design competition. I like join vehicles company for give my services future vehicle world..
This is my exact Prius. I ordered it in December and I'm picking it up this Monday. I saw it yesterday but they had to clean it, do a state inspection etc. I can hardly wait to get it. It will be the third Prius that I have owned. Mine is only the third Prius my dealer has delivered. They have several more ordered for customers and after they fulfill the current orders, they have used up this years allotment from Toyota.
I owne toyota prius since 2013. It's running fine just go to toyota shop every 5,000 km. Prius worth every baht i spent. time to change to the new Prius 2023❤.
I've had a 2019 and now a 2022 that I love. I might be the only guy on the planet, that doesn't think the 18-22's don't look terrible > but, yes, this one looks a lot better yet. I'm perplexed by the huge HP increase though ??? If a person wanted a sports car, why in the world would they buy a Prius in the first place ? Don't get me wrong, if I were looking into buying a new C8 Corvette, and I had a choice between 450 hp and 700 hp, well heck yes Id go for the 700 hp model every time. But with a Prius, if I had a choice between a 200 hp model that get 57 mpg, and a 130 hp model that got 68 mpg, I'd go for the 130 hp model. And nobody can tell me that the redesigned 200 hp, gets better mileage than it would have, with all the same tech, but designed to make 130 hp. That's just physics. Not to mention, "rarely" do I get dusted off the line in my 123 hp 22'..... other than folks paying close attention to the lights, and actively trying to race me, OR people in V8 sports cars. Other than that, I'm typically up to 5 or 10 mph over the speed limit, and backed off to cruise control, ahead of 90% of the other drivers on the road, then I watch in my rear view as they continue to speed up to 20 mph over the speed limit, and finally pass me, while asking for speeding tickets :) lol People just don't drive logically, therefore I never drive with the flow.
I agree, never understood why the Prius gets so much hate for it’s looks. I had a 2006 and currently drive a 2014 Plug In and appreciated the unique styling, and am waiting for a 2023 Prime. 🙂 I also thought the outgoing Prime was a beautiful car, and still think so. I have enjoyed the rock solid reliability driving Prius over the last 17 years, great practicality, and of course amazing fuel economy. While the added power will be “fun”, I agree that it does seem like a bit of overkill and would have been fine if it were less (in exchange for better fuel economy, or lower price…), but I won’t complain. 😉. Can’t wait until we get some official details and release dates on the Prime!
@@MrMountainHawk for myself, the bridge too far, is that EV range still sucks for my purposes. As soon as they make an EV which either 1) I can plug in before bed, and wake up with an 800 mile range under worst case scenarios, or 2) can be charged to an 600 mile range in 10 minutes or less, forget it. Lots I love about EV's..... but the crappy range, and pain in the ass with charging, is a deal breaker for me. You might not believe I drive this much, but with my 22' Prius that I just bought 6 months ago, I've already done two 4500 mile round trips. 700-800 miles is my typical cross country driving day. 300-500 a day is typical when I'm doing ride share.
Lol it’s not a sports car at all and it needed an increase in horsepower. It was dangerously slow before. Only the third generation had 134 horsepower the fourth a measly 121. That was too little power. I drove them all so I know.
@@razorraysolarsavings70 I just wouldn't call them dangerously slow. Again, the only cars dusting me off of the line, are just the folks paying attention, and actively trying to dust me, and / or those with an actual sports car. A modest jump in HP's would have been okay, but a HUGE jump, and only a small jump in MPG just seems wrong to me for what this car is, or supposed to be.
I think this is most wonderful car as my looking❤ I love so much this car❤ love love love love love love love❤ Love you and your company to share this wonderful and amazing car❤
@@adiletkasiev1929 The Prius Prime will probably command more Dealer markup. It uses a lot more batteries. So, Toyota won't be able to build nearly as many Primes..... Be sure to order the optional shield to protect your converter. That experience was not fun.
I just got mine ! Yesterday limited silver oh man I won't shut the hell up now aweosme of a car this is ! I paid $1500 over sticker for the limited front wheel drive ! I tried getting the all wheel drive only thing I am bit bummed about but the tech this car has in the limited wowowowkkwkwkwkw Essentially drives itself I have the 2022 Prius prime the lane self driving. I don't know the name is sketchy but the new one is so precise in 2020 3.0 my God I was tired. I drove back right now I just got home. I swear the car was driving so it's self but 85% of the way just have to be careful not to fall asleep because it does everything.
You gave a pretty good assessment of the Toyota Prius but, not much about the battery power for distance and charging times when needed. OH, did I forget to mention the total cost to purchase one of these electric cars?
I really really like this car. this looks so cool and modern. too bad the price for this limited model is about 40k which is not cheap for a Prius I must say
I just rented a 2023 Prius from Zipcar it was nice 👍 but not for me bit small inside plus the interior was cheap it’s was ripping apart inside it has good power but I am more of a Honda CR-V guy.
Toyota dealer markups are insane. If fuel economy is the first buying requirement. After the trap set by the dealer, the price of the Prius is close to that of an electric car, and even the price of the LE model has reached 31,000. It is best to buy an electric car tesla 3 or a fuel Civic, Hyundai Elantra.
201,430 miles, funny! I use ChatGTP to calculate, Prius is priced at 31,000, Elantra is priced at 22,000, and the price difference is 9,000 US dollars. Prius is set at 65mpg, and Elantra is set at 33mpg. Finally, AI calculates that Prius needs to drive a total of 201,430 miles to earn back The $9,000 price difference in gas savings compared to the ELANTRA.
I love my two Toyota Prius vehicles (Hybrid, Prime). However, the new Prius looks so good, and that is the problem. It is harder to get in and out of, especially for rear passengers. The beautiful big screen is gone. It made seeing where you were at so easy. The heads up projection screen (on the windshield) is gone. I was just told that my 2021 and 2022 will stop before it hits someone but the new one won't!!! So, be careful when you buy the 2023 model.
If you’re 6 foot or taller all Toyota cars, at least the sports cars, are difficult to get in and out of. I’m 6’3 and ‘shoe horned’ myself into a 2022 Toyota ‘Supra’ at a dealership and was stuck and couldn’t get out.
@Cornbread2 Now, when I was younger and athletic, I loved my Corvette and had to wiggle in and out of it. Now, i'm 75 years old, and it is difficult to get into many cars. My 2022 Prius, still is roomy.
@@johncipolletti5611 when I was younger and more athletic I could wiggle in and out of a ‘YUGO’. Now at over 60 the only place i wiggle in and out of is my bed. My Honda Passport is reasonably easier to get in and out though.
Lovely looking car…..Shame about the rear door handles, they look hideous 😢 It would have been better to keep the rear door handles in-line with the front handles, or maybe keep all the handles hidden until pressed to open, similar to Tesla
In october 2022 i have ordered the prime 2023 premium. They say that it is unlikely i will receive it this year because they will ship their first units to everyone who did not receive their 2022. Those people will be in priority list on the 2023. It is understandable. The waiting time on the prius prime 2023 is around 2 years in my area if yoy place an order today. I havealso placed an order on a ioniq5 which is even worst, like 2 to 3 years wait. So you know what, i went to a tesla dealership and they helped me ordering a tesla online and the wait list on the model 3 is like couple of weeks if they have one in stock up to a couple of months if they have to order one from the factory.. tesla is alot easier to get and they are awesome vehicle.. i will be driving a tesla 2023 until they receive my prius 2023 or the ioniq5. Time will fell if i will keep the tesla or switch to prius. Also don't forget that if you crash, smash or someone steal your prius.. you will never be able to get another one.
This is really unfortunate to read, and thanks for sharing. I've been excited about this 2023 Prius only recently, and considered looking to buy one this summer, but it sounds like if I'm not on some waiting list, I'd never get one. Bummer. I like your Tesla idea, and will have to do some price shopping on that and others. Appreciate it.
I'm glad they finally gave this car a new look because it was horrible at first I see they got a look sorta like Kia head lights but it's a big improvement
What mileage does it gives during peak snow winter months and hot summer months when heating n AC are continuously ON anyone can give me accurate figures please for AWD latest model !!!
I was looking to replace a 2013 Prius V, too bad it's gone, however the tires on the models sold in Canada are a deal breaker. The LE is not available in Canada with 195/60/17 tires, only the 2 pricier models with 195/50/19 tires. There are no all weather or winter tires available in that size in Canada to date. Seems rather short sighted on Toyota's part to sell cars in Canada without the possibility of installing winter tires, unless you want to spend another $1500 for proper tires on steel rims.I'm not sure what the proper size match would be in a more practical 17" size.
