While I know the frustration with the CVT, I think you can have fun without banging through gears and mashing the throttle and brakes.

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.

i just went to Japan and there are already some of this Prius rolling on the streets. It amazes me how cool it looks now, considering past generations look like grandparent cars.

we would have bought this over our full hybrid Renault Captur had it been going to be sold here in the UK.

I own a 2010 Prius and sounds the same, but I also rented a 2017 Prius and it got a lot better in that regard. Seems that this new Prius is taking a step back, probably to increase mpg's

Toyota in the UK aren't even allowing us to buy the new Prius, ridiculous as it's the best one yet !

The crocs analogy was spot on😂

It was more about the conversion into liters.

I think it's crazy that Toyota have chosen not to offer this Prius in the UK. It looks stunning and as a daily driver doesn't disgrace itself at all. I'd have the PHEV one as my Monday to Friday car, and the Honda S2000 for my weekend fun... 😜

To be fair, there’s plenty of people who are not happy you Europeans get the Alpina D3S and Mercedes C300de and not us! With gas prices being what they are, I’d love a small, sensible, but fun diesel Alpina or Merc!

Not crazy, Toyota running a massive factory in USA and not in UK, they have to ship the new Prius from Japan to UK, imagine the cost and price will be more expensive than the price in USA

​​​@@keiming2277 pretty much the same costs as shipping to France id of thought and they sell it there!!! Toyota have said its due to very poor Prius sales in the past few years in the UK. Only 5k last year.

Right but that's because everyone was heartily sick of the old Prius... This new look is just what the model needed to start grabbing market share back!

Finally! A look it very well deserves.

5:38 there is nothing to "think through": you either put the rear wheels arches inside the backdoor or not. That how you get the windows to roll down completely.

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.

4:17 Definitely congratulations on the new IWC. Great choice although the black dial is better :D

So much information in so little time ...Very cool car ...very cool review as usual !

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.

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. ;)

Just got the all wheel drive great car, fun to drive amazing technology never thought I would buy one, looks great and drives great !!

Toyota really did a fantastic job!

A brilliant review, thanks Matt!

1:05 it's practical! If there's dirt around, this placement higher give more chances to be cleaner. But Iprefer wider window. It's Ok to find it, cause everybody saw it in Honda Civic 8th gen. 2005

Have to admit that is a REALLY good looking design. I really like it. Make a version with more performance and I'd add it to the new car list. 1 1/2 years till new car time....

Loved my s2000. Probably the best car I've ever owned. Sad that I sold it but when you have to roll out of a car it does nothing for the old street cred. Changed it for an xfr and now pull a petrol tanker behind me!

Cannot understand why it's not for sale in UK. Already on sale next door in Ireland, another RHD market. Looks great in the metal.

I’m quite disappointed we won’t get the new Prius in the UK, but it is currently sold in Ireland.

Imagine how good a GR Prius would look

Performance and economy together. And style to top it off. Hope they use this drivetrain in other cars of the group

This looks like a epic car Shame we don’t get it in the uk

The Prius may not be available in the UK, but the Corolla is based on the same platform, has the same engine/battery combinations and is built right here in the UK.

@PL-fj4uq

10 ай бұрын

Corolla generates a little less HP, about 1/2 second slower on paper and around 10% worse on fuel economy, maybe it's the aerodynamics? Though the Prius might be better looking than the Corolla here - though neither look bad at all.

This Prius is the nerdy guy from school that has a major glow up later on in his life (but still chooses to remain humble and helpful).

I had an S2000 and they are amazing cars!!!

Toyota MUST put those solar panels on the bonnet, and also on the other cars, Corolla Cross, Rav4. So cool!

Absolutely!!!💯

It doesn’t have a CVT, it’s motor generator transmission. Yes it sounds the same but it’s not prone to breaking belts

Awesome video as always. What is the car in front? I can't quite make it out anyone know?
