No I still find it just as bland

Yeees

We want to buy a saw, but many of us don't have enough money

The yellow colour looks better in pictures and on video than IRL I'm afraid. It looks OK now. Actually better than many cars nowadays. Pricing in Belgium is downright ridiculous. Every colour is an option, and the 19" wheels are a forced option - all in all 4000€ in addition to a 48000€ starting price

That literally happened. The CEO publically told Toyota "no more boring cars" lol

This is just as ugly, if not more so. Along with the Tacomas & 4Runners.

@@ChancellorM1YT show me a few cars that costs that much and looks better. Even most cars that cost 3x as much look trash in comparison.

@@ChancellorM1YT You’d be the only person to think that.

I was bored waiting for a flight to take off one day and sent an email to them saying almost exactly that and they responded basically saying they never realized and that they really appreciated my input lol. Now this

can't go wrong with a 2.0 hybrid

how was the battery on the 8th year compared to the 1st

@@hallmonitor98 exactly the same

so a used 2010 would be a good buy?@@WalksOfWonder-BC

Hahaha, I had the same reaction... is THAT the new Prius!? Thanks for watching!

I agree 👍

It definitely is!

But it’s already obsolete! Hybrids only exist because dealerships insisted… have fun paying for oil & filter changes, antifreeze flushes, new mufflers, etc… what a scam!

Thanks so much! Exactly why I started this KZfaq channel, no time to listen to all the gibberish yet want to know everything about cars. I'd love to review the Suburban, but it's not easy to get one here in Europe, especially if you want an American spec. Maybe I should start working on my US network and come over to do some car reviews over there. It's going on my to do list! ✌️😄

thanks! Glad you liked it! 🙏

Always that one 🤡 that has to say something bad about bmw lmao. Mad you can’t afford one of the new ones huh 😭😭

even toyota and hyundai rivals bmw and mercs in terms of stylish looks...its crazy.

@@XxWe8Drum8HarderxX i can't afford a Bentley either. And somehow Bentley doesn't have to look like shit. lil BMW fanboy thought he did something 💀

I know the feeling, I never expected to seriously consider a Prius as a daily drive 😅

It's not really that beautiful. Frankly it's just modern. All cars will be this modern standard. Such as LED bar in the center taillights

@@whatitisnt. for the prius that’s good. considering how it’s never been able to capture a modern style

@@minebros190honestly it’s not just good “for a Prius” it’s one of the best looking cars around it’s range, even better looking than more expensive cars!

@@whatitisnt. You say all cars will be this modern standard and all I am seeing is way too many “modern” cars with mismatched/misplaced looking designs that are just way off looking. So I am assuming basically you are saying they are setting the benchmark, correct?

Thank you for the kind words! Nice way of putting it, you make me appreciate the CVT concept a bit more, I compare it to a classic gear box and that might not be the best way. Guess we just tend to like most what we're used to. Love this comment, thanks!

I have to comment on this as well. I am a toyota hybrid owner and I think they should have worked harder to make the engine less noisy. It IS annoying sometimes. However, that is not the fault of the "CVT". (e-CVT is actually only a virtual CVT and is mechanically absolutely different). There are engineering reasons behind this. And a fair bit of psychology as well actually. People (not only laymen, car folks as well) look at the concept of a gearbox from a completely wrong angle. Internal combustion piston engines are inherently limited in their operation. They cannot go from zero to (say) 30 000 rpm. This is the only reason clutches and multiple-ratio gearboxes had to be invented - to compensate for the ICE deficiencies. Fun sidenote - watch how steam locomotives accelerate from standstill. The steam piston engine CAN start from zero revs, but it is pretty harsh. Once it is moving, it only has one available gearing ratio, since the axle is the crankshaft basically (and the gear ratio is given by the wheel diameter). You can emulate this in an older MT car - just put the first gear in with the engine off and THEN start to crank it. It will start moving by using the starter motor and once it fires up, you go. Hardcore offroaders actually do this on purpose in extremely specific situations. I am simplifying here, but the way toyota devised their hybrid system allows the ICE to be sort of disconnected from the driven wheels. The ratio is not fixed. The engine is noisy because it is naturally aspirated and has to spin quickly. NA angine is torque-limited and the only way to achieve higher power (for given displacement) is to increase revs. (this is something a turbocharged engine can overcome, as it can increase torque by adding boost so it does not need higher revs to achieve higher power. Also a turbo serves as a sound muffler by itself, which helps). In my older Honda or BMW, when I needed to overtake, I would go from fifth to third and pedal to the metal. Was it noisy? It was. Admittedly, it was a much nicer sound then a toyota hybrid produces under full or moderate power. But the principle applies the same. So yes, toyota hybrids are sort of noisy. Is it because of the CVT? No not really. Toyota hybrids are noisy because toyota developers know that most of their customers can tolerate it and some maybe do not care. They probably even calculated that making the engine quieter would be too expensive and there would not be enough new customers to compensate for the costs. It's just that our cars have been doing the 1-2-3-4-5 since always and people got absolutelly used to it, attached even. Maybe we like it the same way we like music, I suppose. As EVs demonstrate, the art of shifting gears will soon be made obsolete. (Oh by the way, even EVs DO NEED multiple-ratio gearboxes to broaden their capabilities - just look at Porsche Taycan and Mercedes AMG - they use 2-speed transmissions for their e-motors).

@@otomoravec1732 thanks for your contribution, loved it! And I agree, I am attached to the gearing sounds, learned to like it I guess. 😅

Ah yes, maybe that’s why they put it there. And the driver is supposed to use the steering wheel controls. Good insights! 👌😄

yeah. That's the weirdest thing I've ever seen on the "entertainment screen". I wouldn't buy a Prius based off that aspect alone

@@klynch572 somebody is getting fired over that volume button, I can feel it! ✌😄

My pleasure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! 🤓

I don’t really know. But it still is a variable transmission, right? Rpm going up to a certain point and then the variable size wheels & belt take care of the acceleration, causing the whining noise? Or what is the sound we’re hearing when accelerating?

​No belts or hydraulic pumps in this one, it uses planetary gears. Here's a very thorough explanation of e-CVT: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZxhisyZsrjImoE.htmlm

It's a planetary gear set, paired with 2 electric motors and another gear that connects them to the ICE and wheels, it's like a differential. The most reliable transmission design you can get is that one. @@johnnypovdrives

@@johnnypovdrives In a Serial Hybrid there's no mechanical connection between the ICE and the wheels, there's a Motor/Generator conected to the Crank Shaft (MG1) and a Motor/Generator connected to the Wheels (MG2), so the ICE generate Ellectricity through MG1 then throuh Wires and Power Controll it's sent to MG2. That why when you step on the pedal, ICE wil Rev up, depending on how much you step on it, and maintain RPM untill you release the throttle. Now the HSD (Hybrid Synergi Drive) is a Serial/Parallel Hybrid, so it got a Planetary Gearset called the Power Split Device, so it can run in serial or parallel mode. And B-Mode is to engage Engine breaking, for steep decends, it will use the drag in the ICE to help breaking, it does not increase Regerative Breaking. There's some good videos on these topics. Having said that, good video. With another Powetrain this awsome Car could have been a hot Celica.

@@auser6426 mind. blown. Thanks so much for your comment, so happy to have this YT community (although I get buried in comments and only now discover yours). So I've learned a new thing today, starting to like the Prius even more. Thanks again for watching & commenting! ✨🙏✨

Not the plug-in hybrid version or no Prius at all?

@@johnnypovdrivesnot sure about Spain, but Italy only gets the PHEV version, which ends up costing like a Tesla Model 3 RWD…

@@superleggenda I think we can only get this PHEV version too (in Belgium). Exactly, at this price point it won't be easy to sell
