The most underrated feature these days is not hiding climate control behind the touchscreens.

I feel this is a must buy car for anyone looking to buy hybrid recently

For the first time ever, I would actually buy a Prius and not hate myself.

Was awesome seeing two of my favorite car reviewers in the same video! Do this more often.

They did a great job on the new design, very attractive vehicle.

I have a 2020 Limited Prime. This is my 3rd Prius. I like driving small cars. I really don’t mind the looks of it. It’s a Titanium Glow exterior/ black interior. I plug it in at night. The electric only is very peppy. I average 75 MPG. The car stickered for $34,800. The Northeast Region for Toyota had a $4500 rebate on it. Then I got a federal tax rebate for $4502, because it was a plug-in. So I got the car for $26K. It drives nice and smooth. I have a 6 speed Porsche if I need to drive fast. So I’m very happy with my 2020. I’m a car guy. I’ve owned every high end car made. I don’t really care for the shortened rear look of the 23…. I think for the money, Toyota is the best car to own… You guys did a good video, very informative…

Finally a Prius I would love to own.

This is going to sell like HOT CAKES!! It's just a great package all around- great options, good comport, great hybrid efficiency, efficient awd system, and great looks! That's a great recipe for sales IMO!

Two great PNW based auto reviewers in one video? Cool! Thanks, guys! Never thought I'd become a Prius guy, but: 200-ish hp, awd, awesome mpg's, and cooled seats? Yup, think I'm gonna get one. (Gonna keep my FJ, too, though. ;)

200 hp from a Prius 😮. That’s more than our Subie’s

The collaboration we've needed for far too long. Great work, fellas!!

Two of my top independent car reviewers!

I ordered the XLE AWD in march and I expected to wait for a year, then I call from the dealership that they had the same trim coming in on mid May this year and I can have it if I want it since she said I was first online. I said, of course I will! I got lucky here!

Ryan and Tom, Earlier today another KZfaq reviewer with a claimed height of 5'7" raised serious concerns about headroom in the new Prius. I want to see all the KZfaqrs lined up in a group photo so we can see why some of you fit in cars and some don't. 😬

Ryan, you're a great reviewer on your own. This co-pilot thing takes away from how good you are. Let's hope you get this hybrid and the prime for a good amount of time soon. It's a beautiful car and I'll argue that a hybrid is still better than the PHEV and BEV and I'm sure Toyota knows this and that's why they're dragging their feet.

Thanks as always for an awesome review. I’ve had my Prius for 9 years and while it’s not perfect I’ve enjoyed it overall. This new new one corrects a lot of the imperfections and has me excited for a potential upgrade.

I’m at 160k miles on my 2021 Prius I can’t wait til I’m ready to get this one, it is so sexy.

A cool review and seeing Tom was a treat too

nice review but i feel like you don't do as well when you are talking with another journalist. @drivingsportstv

Excellent review as always....thanks

Two of my favorite reviewers!

Keep up the great work. And I love the Batmobile t-shirt!

Omg it’s Tom Volk! What a legend!

Ryan, very proud of you channel. Amazing content as always. - this is Omar :)

Good team-up by two no-nonsense car reviewers.

We need an awd test on snow and light off-roading!

"Not meant for off roading", me eagerly awaiting for the day you offroad it.

I'm really liking the exterior design of this new one, especially the rear quarter which reminds me of the Tesla Model 3. As a previous Prius owner, it's actually a decent car to drive, and not as slow as one would think. But I missed being able to go on dirt trailheads and wander off on the many forest roads here in the West. So after a year, got myself a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Please do a snow driving test with the AWD model!

Ryan, I’m so jealous that you’re in warm San Diego! Great review on the new Prius. It’s too bad that it doesn’t have the ground clearance like ours Subie’s. If it did, we’d sell our Outback and Forester just to get the mpg. We have a friend who owns the last generation Prius but she lives in Wenatchee and their great with plowing the roads. Enjoy your warm weather bc when you come back home, we’re expecting a daytime highs of 14 degrees here in the Cashmere / Leavenworth areas.

Due to demand, it'll be 50k+ USD to buy one.

Hey!!!!! It's my 2 fav. PNW power duo!!!! Love it!!!!

Very good review.👍

I was excited when I got my 2010 and 2014 Priuses. I’m excited about my 2024 Prius. So there.

you would go for a premium sound yah???? In a tin can without any sound isolation....I am sure it will sound MARVELOUS

I think Lexus should bring CT based on this Prius. Pretty sure there are tons of people who don't want Prius but Lexus and still have a great reliability and luxury

$37,500 is not bad for the feature set, performance, AWD, and practicality you get.

Ayyyyy it's Tom!

Last gen Prius was maybe the weirdest looking car since the Aztek. What a design turnaround! Wow.

Finally the Prius looks like a nice 4dr sedan. If we lived in Wenatchee we’d buy the new Prius, but 30 miles away towards Leavenworth, the Prius is simply too low in ground clearance, as we get 5-6 feet of snow every winter. So we’ll just keep driving our Subie’s.

For once i can see myself driving this as a daily. AWD a plus plus for me specially been up east.

I'm really excited to see you do a winter test. My PNW driveway is steep and occasionally snowy. I'd like to know if this might be adequate, or should I wait for the inevitable Subaru hybrid sedans.

Huge upgrade in terms of looks from the former generations of Prius

What I have been waiting for.

I do love the new look of this prius. I still have 2009 prius and ct200

Wow, it comes standard with physical buttons and no fake exhausts! 😮

Really cool car! Radio knob on the other side because car is sold in right hand drive markets. Toyota entertainment systems lack split screen. Not as up to date as segment is. It’s not clear why adding a rear electric motor will subtract mileage. Hard to see the dash behind the steering wheel. Didn’t expect Toyota to. Was something,Ike that up. Otherwise this good looking car is a home run. 👍

Nice review Watching from india

WOW.. A Prius that looks fast standing still. I REALLY like this design. I think the only complaint is a bit too much flat plastic leading up to the drivers display. Can we get some non moving vents on the display spars? Little hand warming action and it would have a more sporty look instead of blank space. Nice interior. I'd think about getting one if it kept is ability to sip the firewater but with the flip of a switch you get to surprise Tesla owners by staying right next to them with your foot on the floor. Prius Performance Sport... Take my money.

My two favorite reviewers?!? I was giddy like a school girl 😂🎉

I LOVE you videos, Ryan. Are you going to test the Prius off road🤪

It's interesting how people keep ragging on the 4th gen Prius for its looks. For me personally, it's the third gen that looks like 10 pounds of oats in a 5 pound bag. Luckily, I was able to purchase a 2022 Prius Prime LE (the trim level I desired) a few months ago for $31,124 (before down payment and other fees) since the average price for new vehicles is ridiculous. Compared to the 2004 Sienna I upgraded from the reliability & fuel economy of a new car is appreciated.

I liked the video until you went on about the clearance. You shouldn't call out clearance numbers if you don't know what you are referencing! Not sure where you're getting 6" from, but Toyota's press release stated the max clearance under NO LOAD is 5.1 to 5.6" depending on trim. 5.6" ground clearance on the Prius is the highest MAXIMUM clearance under NO LOAD while using max size tires! This usually means the measurement is lower under the suspension arms. 5.7" on the E450 is rated as MINIMUM clearance hight while UNDER LOAD! This means the measurement is taken from the lowest underbody part of the car(usually the suspension arms) while there is weight in the cabin to push the car down. This is a more advanced rating used to give more specific measurements during extreme testing. The Prius and E450 have two COMPLETELY different ratings! So to point out the Prius favorably against the E450 means you really don't understand what's going on. Just to compare, the E300 has a 3.8" minimum hight clearance under load, while normal clearance is 5.1". That's almost a 2" difference between the E350 sedan and E450 All-Terrain!

Do we need to squeeze or wiggle the steering wheel every 10-15 seconds for the adaptive cruise control?... or is it capacitive, and just resting one finger on it is enough?

If I didn't have the Toyota RAV4 Prime, I would've purchased this car but I love my R4P~ Toyota makes awesome cars!~

Do all the trims with 19 inch wheels have 6 inches of ground clearance or only if AWD is added? And is the high voltage cable to the rear motor the same as in the RAV4? Worried about the whole cablegate problem but seems like that is different in the Corolla Cross Hyrbid.

Were you hitting the accelerator at 22 min with drive with Tom? What was that ‘whaaa’ sound? Cvt?

Great review. Looking forward to the Prime version. My 2017 Volt will need to be replaced soon.

How many inches from the rear trunk to the back of the passenger seat that is slid all the way to the front?

How about visibility? Previous Prii were pretty constricted in visibility, especially out back and in the blindspot. With the more rakish profile, this looks like it might be worse. It would be awesome if visibility was a standard in vehicle reviews. So many vehicles these days have high belt lines and narrow rear views. This constricts visibility especially for shorter people.

Nice collaborative review. Is TSS 3.0 significantly better than the 2.0 or 2.5 especially in the lane centering function? How does it compare to the latest Subaru Eyesight?

excellent video. Thank you. Though I'm incredulous that the lowest LE trim has a spare tire but the higher trims don't?? That's just bizarre. Plus the 19" rims make no sense. The car looks great, and overall Toyota nailed it but they slipped up on a few things.

I hate to say this but new Prius is more interesting to me than the "new" Impreza.

I gotta say this is the only prius style I like other than the 2009 version.

It’s really nice but I still hate info screens that come up above the dash.

Beautiful

how is steering? quiet cabin? can you compare it to 2023 Camry hybrid and 2023 Accord hybrid later?

how big is the trunk of the AWD version? Please m^3 thanks

“B” mode stands for “Brake Mode”, not “battery”.

I had a 2021 rav4 hybrid for a year and 13k miles. It was an xse with the advanced tech package..so sticker was like 38k. I got 42-47mpg with it, and of course it was awd, roomier than this, and better ground clearance. I'd possibly be interested in one of these..but for the price.. I can't justify paying the same amount for this for a few mpg better. I had a 2023 rav4 xse on order, but it was taking too long haha. I sold the one I had because I was offered $5k over msrp for it, and I wanted something with more room and power. Other than that I really didn't have any complaints with it.

was the camera that was facing you out of focus? or just soft in the corner of the lens

So, if you come from a Prius, this new Prius is a nice car. Got it.

196! Thats more than my gr86

Amazing view! I'm so jealous of you folks out in the PNW. My 4Runner came with those Bridgestone tires, they are truly terrible in any type of weather. Great on the highway though, I was able to knock down 22 MPG quite easily with my 4R. As much as I dislike the look of the Lexus, knowing what I know now, if you put a TRD Pro 4Runner, and this GX in front of me, I would choose the GX. Got a face only a mother could love, but what a fantastic color. The updated interior also looks nice, not nearly as much like the 4Runner as it used to.

Decent looking car 🤩 3rd gen looking good but 4th gen is looks bad , Now 5th gen is Cool looking again ❤🖤

197hp awd is attractive. How about snow test?

This Prius has Saab energy! I like it!

Do you know when Toyota is going make this available to order? Possible release date?

They didn't even other to mirror the controls for the infotainment system. Its originally JDM. The USDM driver seat is left lol

Very attractive vehicle. Never liked the previous versions.

A hybrid with good power that can do a 6-7 second 0-60 and give you 45+ mpgs is the perfect driving machine. Reliability and fuel efficiency, sacrificing nothing.

EV mode is great in bumper to bumper traffic within Los Ángeles

I've been wondering when Washington state's two most famous car reviewers were going to collaborate.

I was looking at the Hyundai Ioniq Blue (and the step up trims from that - but not the major Ioniq 5 or 6). How do you compare this car to the Ioniq? Some pages offer different stats here and there but it looks like the Prius AWD gets less MPH than the Ioniq. Toyotas warranty is almost HALF of the Ioniq (5 year for Ioniq, 3 for Toyota… 60,000 miles for Ioniq, 36,000 for Toyota. Ioniq has larger trunk space…. Why would I get this over last years Ioniq then?

Is this the highest EPA rated mpg for an AWD vehicle ever sold in USA?

I tried to buy a Prius, sadly it was NOT AVAILABLE. Had a option to wait 8 months, But the only option to wait a month for the RAV4 Hybrid.

Realmente hizo que me gustara mucho este auto

When you're taking it off road? ;)

I rented the 2023 Prius it’s nice looks like a small Vette .

looks like not boring

I prefere this kind of reviews

Were you doing “spirited driving” or was that the transmission continuously hunting for the correct ratio going up different grades?

The old AWD Prius only operated in AWD up to a limited speed, which limited the value of the AWD for driving mountain passes. Does this have the same limitations?

The way things have been going with Toyota, will we see this vehicle for sale by 2024? Corolla Cross Hybrid has been very delayed.

Problem is, Toyota doesn’t allow you to custom order anything, so you’ll likely never be able to get the exact setup you want

Which one is better??? Crown 23 or Prius 23

So is the AWD Hybrid the better version to go for?

My 3-year-old Honda Clarity beats the new Prius in every category, from size/room (larger than Accord) to EV range (avg 45 miles per charge), except for one thing, I love the new Prius's hatchback which Clarity lacks. So I will definitely look into the new Prius when the time comes for a new car.

15:59 why so many people go right before making a u turn? Some idiots even cross the line and almost hit others... is it really hard to make a u turn in such a small car?

The volume knob on the right side is probably meant for right hand drive markets and they didn't bother to change it.
