MAN Toyota is really stepping up its game! For me this is basically the ideal car: Super frugal, thanks to hybrid technology, low roof line and seat position (all which I like), sporty drive feeling, good/enough luggage space. For me who drives most kms on holidays, this seems ideal: No worries about congestion at the charger whilst allowing me to drive an EV on 99% of all other driving. I wish it was a bit cheaper though.... As usual EXCELLENT review by Autogefühl !👏👏👏 Not everybody wants a resource wasting SUV!

As ever a great review, thank you. The first thing I find interesting is that I could do almost all my usual mileage in this car on the battery. The ICE is there when I need to go further, faster, or both. The second thing this car demonstrates is that you do not need a huge battery with all that added weight and expense. I think ever bigger batteries, heavier cars, ever more complex engineering work arounds, and ever greater expense is a design dead end. On batteries Toyota have announced this month that they have got solid state to work in time for 2027 models, so lighter batteries for a given range are nearly here. I like the UI/UX decisions in this car so much more than in the German premium brands. For instance I find the current Mercedes models look absolutely wonderful inside but verge on being unusable because of the overuse of touch screens, capacitive buttons, and simply too many things to change or set. A three way comparison between this Prius, the new Honda Civic, and the Mazda MX30 R EV would be an interesting take on where state of the art small PHEVs currently are.

@@autogefuehl i wonder why honda insight was taller than s2000 , areodynamics and not rolling over matters there too lol, especially if you can get grippier tire on for fun (they sold as manual and hybrid toghtehr in a car) . maybe the customers were too lazy to get into and out the car? preserving momentum can be fun and is better for longveity agaisnt battery degradation, fuel loss, lubrication usage etc, to soem extent its better for tires longveity too . its not just for saving money its supposed to also be for minimizing reelase of suppsoedly endocrine disrupting "forever chemicals" sort of stuff from todays heavily petrol based tires. if cars got super light again we might be abel to go back to natural rubber from trees like it used to be , or at least have less petrol in the mix sort of thing, or maybe some harder plastic sort of thing so it doesnt wear so much. ................................climte change prdiction have been so non accurate and they dont even agree on whats happening, so i personally dont care, especpially as theyve been using anti climte change as a excuse for taxing productivity, controlling people more, etc , such as road use tax by ulez cameras, esg score "how blackrock conqiered the world" by colbert report on substack , stuff funded from pinted money from federal rserve (eseenetially stealing from everyon else), and my suspicion based on other obviosuly bad stuff the people who push this narrative also push . .................................but what feels bad in nature makes us avoid it for the sake of maximum spreading of out genes because we are deisgned to be liek that by natural genetic selection and whatever gave us all these co-incidentaly nice and sometimes unlikley-to-happen genetics . its because of this that we have natural desires like segsual desire, desire for meat , eggs etc. so similar to hwo burnt food causes cancer and is disgusting to us, inhaleing exhuast fumes of cars might be considerably bad to a extent, although smoking wasnt seen as cancer causing until after heavily processed seed oils, margarine, etc replaced natural fats in cooking ... and that stuff is burning at ur face, while most cars fart probably goes up into space beyond atmosphere, i dont know. it wont let me send much but i think itll let me send one of these : www.emissionsanalytics.com/news/gaining-traction-losing-tread weight is more unsafe in crash , worsens road wear which (to appease emissions people) causes more emissions ,etc tax dollars wasted, raw resources wasted etc. maybe combustion and hydrallics can be used in suspension to get it to move at optimal height and angle to get the structually stronger parts to protect people better, simialr to audio a8, and possibly a fully hydrallic version could also work as luxry suspension for preserving momentum around turns by tightening things, or making things a bit bouncy and super smooth, or activly having both when optimal, lifting car to make it easier for disabled or lazy people to get stuff into and out of car with minimal muscle and joint movement, and for light offroading (lot of people like subaru crosstrk because its small, cheap, but also lifted).

The old Prius was exceptionally well packaged; 0.24 drag coefficient, good headroom, huge cargo space. Even as the styling improves enormously, the new design takes steps back in all three of those respects. If they'd have simply adopted a couple of cues from the old Prius and the Tesla Model Y for the roofline -- in other words, more height over the driver and front passenger -- they'd have maintained that drag coefficient and the headroom of the previous model. Also, dual zone climate control on the Euro model but not in the US. Why?

@adrianotero7963 Жыл бұрын

Will keep my 2020 prime a little longer, don't like my head brushing the roof, and I also like to see the speedometer.....

@mrxman581 10 ай бұрын

But then it wouldn't be a Prius. It's about keeping the overall design in proportion if you still want it to look like a Prius but not the old one. In ok with the compromises the rear headroom is not really a problem unless you're taller than 6'-2". I've had a 2004 Prius for 19 years and I might have had a handful of people who were 6'-2" or taller. Oh, and though there is less headroom, there is actually more space overall when it comes to seat and leg room at least compared to my 2nd gen Prius. The bigger issue is the reduced cargo space, but only compared to the previous regular hybrid version. Because when you compare it to the previous Prime versions, the new one actually has more space.

@dblissmn 10 ай бұрын

@@mrxman581 The problem remains; the lower roofline over the front seats is purely for looks and actually slightly impairs aerodynamics and fuel economy; you want the roofline to peak over the front seats. The big improvement in the battery packaging on the new Prime is of course welcome, but while there's definitely more space than on a 2nd generation it doesn't stack up quite so well compared to the 3rd or 4th, even though it is longer. And why all the styrofoam where there should be cargo capacity and why such a narrow tailgate? It just seems to me that while the bones of the new model are really, really good, they got stuff they had control over kind of needlessly wrong.

@mrxman581 10 ай бұрын

@@dblissmn I understand what you mean, but I like the decision they made to have a sexy sporty hybrid/plug-in hybrid that's relatively affordable. When the 2nd gen came out, it was one of a kind and remained the workhorse of hybrids for many years. In the interim many other cars have come to market that now do much of the same. Toyota needed to change the direction of the Prius line. In fact, many in the industry though Toyota was planning to phase out the Prius now that its entire line up have hybrid versions. The Prius has done it's job over 20+ years and it was time to move. Many thought that if the Prius would continue it would be as a pure EV. That could still happen which would be cool.

Great video review Thomas. I must say, I've always hated the Prius and what they stood for but now this new model has completely changed my opinion! Great looking, sleek design; and with the sunny weather we've had, I could get a few full recharges each week. This is now on my wish list 👍

If only you could buy one! I've been wanting to buy the 2023 version but they are so rare, the dealers in the USA are gouging customers. 4 months ago they were asking $10K USD above the MSRP for the XSE version. At the moment they are asking at least $5K USD "Market Adjustment"

I don't understand why Toyota does not sell the non PEHV version in Europe. It would be a more competitive offer. In France, this Prius PEHV is the same price than a Tesla model Y. I don"t think they will sell a lot. This car look so great, so disapointed.

Regardless of make and model, that beeping of the speed"limiter" (12:29) would be the first thing that I turn off (permanently if I can). Mercedes using a hotkey for this is a really good idea. One more button to press right after the "start/stop off" button. ☺ "Hey car! Don't be smarter than you need to be." (Also, to damn the "emissions & Euro7". Talk about MY carbon/ eco-footprint [pollution level] AFTER private jet flights for the rich are banned.)

Looks striking. Amazed that Toyota UK are not selling this. Not everyone wants an SUV....

Excellent review. I love this car. I wish we could have this prius phev in the UK. Alot of motor journalists, that reviewed this car, end up just speaking bad about this car and marketing telsa referral link.
