New Toyota Prius review: Cooler than a LAMBO?!

Күн бұрынUPDATE: The new Prius is now coming to the UK: bit.ly/New-Prius-In-The-UK
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Toyota Prius!
Now we know in recent years the Prius has had the tag of being a bit of a lame car. However, we think the new Prius is absolutely gorgeous, and may now be considered as one of Toyota’s coolest cars!
But what’s so great about it? Well, let’s take a closer look. Starting with the design, we are getting some serious Lamborghini vibes from the back! With the swooping headline and the glass area around the taillights, we are getting some serious sports car vibes! Along the side you have smart integrated door handles for the back seats, and then up at the front you’ve got the daytime running lights and headlights combined into a cool design. All-in-all, this looks totally different to any Prius we’ve seen before… And that’s a good thing!
Step inside, and the cool design themes continue! There’s a small digital dial screen for the driver and a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dashboard. Thankfully it also comes with a number of physical buttons, so climate control can also be managed through these rather than through the screen. You’ll also find a good bit of storage throughout the cabin, although we also encountered some scratchy plastics. But then again, what would you expect when the car cost from just over $27,000.
When it comes to performance, there’s only one engine choice available. It’s a 2-litre naturally-aspirated 4 cylinder, coupled with an electric motor. In the entry-level car this drivers the front-wheels only and provides 197hp. It is possible to get an all-wheel drive edition, but the horsepower is almost identical, increasing to just 199hp! There’s also a plug-in hybrid variant available, which can produce 223hp while also driving for up to 40 miles on electric power alone.
But the question is, do you agree with Mat - has Toyota finally made the Prius cool?! Let us know in the comments!

We owned 2nd and 3rd generation Prius sedans in our family. This is a great improvement with a couple of exceptions. The "A" pillar is sloped in such a way to make entrance into the front seat a bit difficult. Very easy to hit your head and a little too close once in the seat. I would have favored a slightly more upright windshield. Dashboard could have been better as well.

It’s disappointing to hear that the car won’t be available in the UK. It’s great to see Toyota coming up with an appealing design, as their other models may not be as trendy, except for the Yaris GR. I hope they reconsider their decision and launch the car in the UK market, as I’m sure it would attract many customers who are looking for a more stylish Prius.

Considering how good this looks and drives, this could be THE new benchmark for doing green things while being cool :)

AWD model has an additional motor at the rear, yes. But the motor is basically only used to get the vehicle moving and then it basically turns off. We've got an AWD hybrid rav4 and it does the same here. Its a 70hp motor i think but it literally only comes on when moving off or if there is a loss of grip at low speed. It does get used for regen though.

As this car, or any with CVT were not inttended for throtle response, but rather to run the engine at the OPTIMAL RPM for the acceleration you are asking for (for the best MPG) the engine won't feel directily connected... because it isn't. I remember the Powerglide 2 speed automatic from the 50s, and the RPM was a serious compromise most of the time, given that the peak HP is in a very narrow band of RPM. Over the years, they have added more and more gears to both automaic (10 or more) and manual (six or more) to try and keep the RPM at the peak. Even then it spends much of its time at a comproise RPM. The drone you were complaining about is due to the it beiing a long stroke engine. The peak HP happens to be in the drony range. Just be happy it is doing its job of NOT being at a compromise RPM. Anyone that puts fake shift point on a CVT or eCVT should be shot! Especially if there is not an override switch! I have driven an eCVT by choice since 2007, and currently drive a 2017 Prius Prime. I wouldn't buy anything else. I have gone 575 miles on a tnank of gas, and went two 12 month periods without buying gas at all. (25 mile EV range is sufficient for my around town needs.
@ElAnciano92071 Жыл бұрын
P.S. The "e" in the eCVT is for electric. No belts, but rather a planetary gearset (or two in some cases), two motors and the engine driving the wheels on various axis of said planetary gearset. MG2 is connected to the differential (yet another, but common to most cars planetary gearset), so spins X times as fast as the fron axle. X being the differential ratio of between 3 and 4 : 1. The ratio of the RPM of MG2 and MG1 controls the RPM of the engine. In the Prius Prime (not the regular Prius), when in EV mode MG1 helps MG2 move the car, so the engine doesn' have to start to help at full throttle. I don't know if this is true on the 2023 (gen V) Prime though. Dr. John Kelly hasn't made a video yet. ;)

While I know the frustration with the CVT, I think you can have fun without banging through gears and mashing the throttle and brakes. I like these relaxing drives on the back road where I ease in and out of the throttle and just let the car flow with the road and that is no less fun than hustling a light sports car, just different.

Honestly, I really liked the CVT in my ES300h, it made for a very sumptuous and responsive ride, smooth with good torque response. The one big issue with them is the droning engine noise, and I guess Lexus addresses that issue while Toyota doesn't typically.

Am guessing reduced weight for fuel efficiency
@User.Joshua Жыл бұрын
I believe I am in the minority here, but I don't mind the constant sound of the engine when equipped with an eCVT transmission. It sounds like mechanical efficiency to me. Dropping the RPMs with every gear change is what's annoying to me... you've just cut out a lot of your peak power and now have to build it back up again.

@SureTadpoleYT Жыл бұрын
That's what I'm saying. Does it sound good? Not really, but I absolutely hate it when cars with CVTs fake gear changes. Like, the Prius is already not that fast, it might as well be using its full power and not dropping below its peak torque over and over just to sound cool. It's also supposed to be really fuel efficient, not sure why you would put anything but a CVT in it.

That alarm thing is standard in the US for almost all cars btw. I guess they do it because it is so easy to forget where your car was in massive parking lots in the malls. So you can turn on the alarm to find where your car is.

The design of the latest Prius reminds me of the design excellence that Honday displayed back in the 1980s and early 1990s -- before they became bland and boring. Great to see (again, after a long wait) a distinctive look in the Japanese passenger-car market.

The water noise is the same as in a portable AC when u turn up the fans. It's moisture and water hitting the draining pan or similar design. U can only get rid of heat by changing it's form. Car pumps in cold air while sucking out hot air, hot air transforms to liquid form and drains out under the car. That's why it looks like u have a leakage during the summer 😄 Or u can vaporize it as some portable ACs do with the trade off of the effectiveness.
