Looks like Akio Toyoda's "no more boring cars" is coming to fruition. That's a Prius I wouldn't mind owning.

I'm thinking this will sell well even despite declining small cars sales. It looks good, is functional, reliable and fun to drive.

Finally, a Prius I won’t be ashamed to drive.

A Prius so stylish that I'd actually consider buying one!

this car is a game changer. the 40 mile commute is around the average commute in the US and with gas you don’t have to worry about battery

I have one of the non prime models (XLE) and I regularly get 55+ MPG. I’ve seen 65 MPG on short city drives

The solar roof is cool if anything because you could park it at the airport of for long periods of time without being plugged in and not worry about battery loss over time. In a week long trip at the airport you might come back with 10-20 extra miles which is pretty neat.

I'm not totally sold on full EVs yet but this would be something I'd consider. Actually a nice looking car and great fuel economy.

Great video you guys! Toyota absolutely knocked it out of the park with this new generation. Stunning design. And that can't be said about the average new vehicle!

LOVE the solar roof. As a college student who drives twice a week about 10 miles, that would mean I wouldn’t have to refuel for months on end.

We've got a 2013 (Gen 3) Prius with 227,000 miles that we've had for 7 years. Great car. Extremely reliable.

The new Prius has been getting a lot of love in the car magazines I subscribe to, but I'm much more interested in hearing The Straight Pipes' take on it! Let's go!

Yuri is an expert in reach arounds.

Wow for a Prius it actually looks good for once! I was never a huge fan of the car but this is a really nice change

Wow I agree about the armrest and gauge cluster position. Damn. That's why I like these reviews because you get the genuine takes on even the little things, and it's the little things that matter. That armrest is a deal breaker for me.

Local Toyota dealer said:” If you ordered one now, you can get it in 2028!” Nice job Toyota!

Best looking Prius ever. Actually futuristic in a cool way. Love the direction.

I want this Prius. We don't have the infrastructure for EVs just yet. And this car is the perfect middle ground.

haha the comments about the cup holders is so true! and your POV driving is spot on!

I legitimately want one of these. It's a little expensive, but it looks good, gets good gas mileage and isn't painfully slow like the old Prius. What more could you want in a daily?

the amount of hybrids growing on the roads looks to show Toyota's long term plan of favoring gas electric hybrids over pure EVs for the near future is panning out well

We owned every generation of Prius,s plus the plug-in and Prime. Two inches lower is a deal breaker for us good bye Toyota. We bought a 2022 VW ID.4 and love it.

My biggest issue with hybrid was most things with good fuel economy is low hp fwd which does not meet my needs, but anything higher power and awd will end up with a big car that used to get 18mpg and now 25mpg which isn’t great either. This is perfect, 200hp awd 50mpg.

I saw the 2023 at the LA Auto Show late last year and really liked it. I was completely surprised because I thought they were going to discontinue the Prius. I own a 2004 Prius I bought new and was ready to pull the trigger on an Ioniq 5 in Cyber Gray, but in LA they are still selling for several thousand dollars over sticker. But after seeing the new Prius I changed my mind and will buy the new Prime version instead. The Toyota dealership where I put down the deposit has a policy of not charging over MSRP.

The bickering is 10/10 on this one hahah. Love y'all!

It's crazy how long it took cars to adopt the solar roof. I remember the fisker karma having one and that came out 15 years ago.

I gotta say. The side profile reminds me of those 70's wedge concepts as a production car.

This is on my short list for suuuure. Looks great, killer gas mileage, and the electric only range would probably cover most of my commute anyway.

Yuri is the type of guy to be really passionate about hypermiling when he receives a Prius, but then gives up after feeling awkward when he inevitably holds up traffic.

would have been interested in a baseline trim review! at this price point I think people will go elsewhere typically. keep up the good work fellas.

Great review! I'm excited to see this. Certainly an attractive car with great specs! You mentioned briefly about tires on this Prius Prime. That's one thing I'm concerned about - the wheel/tire dimensions seem a bit odd - large rims with very narrow tires. Most tire rim size I can find with 195mm tire width are 14" or 15" rims, but these are at least 17"; and for 17"-19" rim size, the width for most tires are at least 205-215mm. So would I have trouble finding the right size winter tires? Even for all-seasons, would my choices be limited to stock only? If I get winter tires WITH rims, how far can I stray from the stock dimensions, e.g. if I have a Prius with 19" all-seasons, can I go down (in rim size) to a 195/50 R16 or go up (in width) to a 215/50 R18 winter tire?

the exterior design of this thing is 🔥

This is way better than our 2019 Prius Limited. Like it’s shocking honestly.

I use the card slot in the visor to stash the toll card. In some places, you get a card when you enter the toll road and then that card is used to calculate your toll when it's time to pay.

Just put down a $500 refundable deposit for a 2023 Prius Prime in the L.A. area. They couldn't tell me when they would arrive. I did get to look at the inside and outside of the 2023 Prius Limited edition. This dealership had about 8 in stock and they were all sold except for the one they where using to show customers. I have a 2004 Prius I bought new and this 2023 Prius feels very similar in some ways. Though I could immediately sense the lower roof line once I was inside the car, but the back seat had noticeably more space. And the car sits lower to the ground, but not drastically so compared to my Prius. I had no trouble with the driving position and the dash. I'm 5'-11" and had no problem seeing all of the dash in a comfortable driving position. The seats were more comfortable than my Prius.

Like all the stying and mechanical improvements. That almost horizontal rear window is going to need a wiper in the winter though!

8km solar recharge would be about 20% of my daily commute. I can basically get 1 “free” driving day every week.

"Double-reach-around". I'm using that term from now on. Thank you!

The little slot in the visor is perfect for parking slips or toll road tickets.

I was fully ready to commit to preordering this car but as soon as I sat in one at the Toronto auto show I realized I couldn’t see the gauge cluster. It’s the same with the Solterra and Toyota’s version. 6 ft 2 inches for anyone wondering.

The visor pocket is for parking stubs, it is very practical to stash it in the visor. Same as my Lexus.

We got a new Prius Prime Advanced back in 2017 and my only complaint is that it doesn't have enough miles per charge. Sure it gets what they said it would but why not at least 50 miles on the battery. Very nice car. Solid. Plenty of power. Comfortable, especially compared to our 2010 Prius which is a very good basic and reliable hybrid. I wish someone would come up with a Prius Prime kit that would do away with the gas motor and give it 300 miles range on a battery pack where there ICE resided. I'd pay 10 grand for that.

Yuri : "I dont mind ugly looking car.." Jakub: "Yeah, you got the prowler.." Whoa, shots fired! 😂 {the banter never gets old, youre the best guys!}

BTW, did you guys notice if the Prime had a slightly higher ground clearance than the regular Prius? I had read that the Prime would have a slightly higher clearance. Thanks.

my boss only drives like 4 miles round trip to work every day, he could technically only use the sun to charge it for his commute. which we have plenty of here in colorado

I never thought I wanted a Prius so much! Well done Toyota! Well done!

The tech in this car is insane! On my short list for a used pick whenever we need a car

It sucks that they are not offering that sick yellow color in North America. It's only available in Japan. Once I get my Prime, I might wrap it in a similar yellow. I usually go for dark rich colors, but there is something about the design of this car and yellow that really go well together.

OMG!! "Double Reach Around" Ha ha ha ha 🤣

As someone who liked the Prium for what it was when it was social suicide to say so - I would say this is the strongest Prius yet, as one guy said it, it has put in Pazzas into Prius; but oddly one that came with the unnecessary compromises It is getting too expensive. That's the trend of the entire market. What made the Prius work was its use ability. Its elever ergonomic design inside and out that doesn't fall off and has proven not to have aged over the years, doesn't mean it had to feel crap. Style is good, but good style could always have been in any of the previous generations. But this 5tg gen has outrageous A-pillars. There are also compromise in not having a split rear window. And that a faster 2.0l Prius was always possible, that engine was sold in Corolla Estate wagons in the EU arou d 2018. A plug in hybrid was always possible since the 2000s. It should be glaring to us

It's nice looking now and has a long range/fuel efficient. Seems perfect

Love it! 10 out of 10 Toyota!

I don’t get why they won’t sell these in the U.K! I’d drive this.

Would you guys be able to do the new Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid? Keep up the great work guys!

Awesome review, I've been eye balling this since the announcements! Heck, I can go to work AND BACK FOUR TIMES and there will still be charge left! Maybe not with the A/C or Heating blasting through....three times then :)

This thing is actually surprisingly SO COOL

"I don't mind and ugly looking Prius." "Yeah, I know. You have a Prowler." 😄

My first impressions from appearances alone is that it’s a huge improvement

Thanks guys... I was waiting for you to post so i didnt watch amy other review 😊

Should make a Prius with the RAV4 prime powertrain

Damn 4 Prius reviews in my feed all posted at the same time, I guess embargos just got lifted

The slot on the visor is actually for parking ramp tickets. Very usable feature!

Love the wedge design!

Basically a revived Chevy volt. Speaking of which you guys should review one. They were ahead of their time

The amount of time I’ve lost to Prius drivers in the left lane is incalculable

In Canada, even the 2022 Prius Prime has a 2 year minimum waiting list. The 2023 would be realistically on the road in 2027 for us.

I like how the car lock sound produces a B-Flat Major chord lol (I just know that because I'm a music major)

Good luck getting one. I’ve been on a waitlist for a RAV 4 prime for 6mo now. Dealer says it could be 6-12 more months. :/

Lowering springs/ coilovers and a new set of wheels would make this look absolutely amazing!!!

You made some points I haven't read or seen anywhere else. Thanks.

So happy you guys got this particular review out.

Hopefully the styling convinces owners to drive faster in the far left/passinglane 😂

You’re EV reviews need to be on No Pipes.

I love Priuses because they seem so practical, I just wish the gauges and things weren't so wonky. I just need a clearly visible speedo, maybe a tac and temperatures. How hard is that? Instead I have to flip through a dozen menus?

Honestly I feel like the good handling may be because it's a new car that isn't a crossover. Low cars feel good!!

the absolute deal breaker for me is the gauge cluster. when i sat in this car and positioned my seat and steering wheel, the gauge cluster was pretty much blocked from my view. I don't understand how toyota could allow such a dumb mistake

I feel like the solar roof will be charged in 5 minutes in Florida 😂

Ha ha, that blast off at the beginning🤣

I would love to have one, but every dealer within 250 miles of my home in NorCal has anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 markup on them (and most are still in transit). Saw an AWD Limited for $50,000 with the markup. Insane.

It's supposed to work as a generator, (besides the 1500w per electric outlet), I'd like to see that in action like the F150 Powerboost.

It looks awesome, and not just for a Prius

Yuri the only human on Earth making sure his shoulder is touching the seat while touching the volume knob 🤣🤣

love the breakfast guest appearance at 7:20

Toyota really upper their design game with this generation of Prius!

Would love to see a comparison of a 2019 Chevrolet Volt Premier against this thing. Volt is still the range champion and charging speed champion. But this Prius is the nearest thing to a Volt successor.

3:27 The blue circle logo at the trunk beside the “Prime” badge is actually Toyota’s “Beyond Zero” logo symbolizing its new gen of electric cars

The first decent looking prius

Kind of looks like a modernized Dodge Dart… thanks for the review 🥂

Remember the years where you could head to your dealer and buy one under MSRP,now you have to wait a year to get one and by then something better would have come out.

Only thing but I may have missed it. How much leg room for driver? I’m 6 ft 3 in and my 2010 rav4 driver seat doesn’t go back far enough for my legs to stretch.

i personally think turn signal sounds should be annoying and intrusive so you always know if it's on or not. so many times i've seen a driver just go 5 miles with their left turn signal on

Putting the volume knob on the opposite side of the infotainment is the dumbest thing ever. Would love to hear their reasoning for that.

I love this car!!

@TheStraightPipes Your pic in the video is the 2nd gen Honda Insight, first one was that 2-door model from '99.

Such a great update on the exterior looks, in my opinion.

we're gonna see this car doing 90kmh on the left lane of the highway

The card holder on the sun visor is useful for gate and toll cards.

People in AZ, TX, NM, CA will love the roof solar panel.

The advanced hybrid technology is truly impressive. 🤩
