What people don’t realize is how much of a marvel of engineering this car truly is. It’s amongst the lowest drag coefficients of ANY vehicle, highest efficiency in Hybrid Mode of ANY vehicle while lugging around a roughly 13.2kW battery, AND highest efficiency when in EV mode of ANY vehicle while lugging around a 2.0L 4-cylinder. All while managing to get an impressive 0-60 of under 6.5 seconds? Ridiculous.

I paid $24k, get > 57mpg and there's no problems ever. Just get in, push to start, and go. There's no beating it. Yes, it's slow comparitively, but for everyday commuting it really doesn't matter. Nobody is drag racing but if you are, you're asking for a ticket. 95% of the time most people are driving with traffic anyways.

Hybrid and Plug in Hybrid makes perfect sense for vast amounts of the population. Many urban apartment dwellers don’t have an option to easily charge an EV at home. Folks who live in rural areas have long commutes and public charging stations are far and few. Also if you live in an area with high electricity costs a full EV does not offer any cost savings over a Hybrid. Here in Hawaii Electricity costs about 40cents per KWH. The only way a full EV is more cost effective is if you live in a single family home with a wicked PV setup to cut costs. The Hybrid/Plugin can be more cost effective in the long run as well as out of warranty battery replacement in a Prius is generally $3k-$6k compared to $8k-$20K+ for a full EV.

If you need to put a walker or wheelchair in the back, you must take down both back seats. You can’t change out any of the lights on the inside for aftermarket; they all use a circuit-style light. The dome and reading lights in front aren’t that bright. The car looks very sporty inside and out. If you are six feet or taller, watch your head getting in and out; the ceiling is cut significantly lower than in previous generations. The main car battery is back in the trunk, which is more accessible. The car has no spare tire, so if you buy one, you lose a lot more of your trunk. The vehicle makes a cool noise when driving slowly through parking lots, more of a head-turner for people. I do like the lock and unlock noise from the car; it’s new and sounds great. You can turn on your vehicle and off from an app. Car has built-in Wi-Fi from AT&T, not as fast as Verizon, but the connection has not been an issue as the connection is stable everywhere. Also, in the app, you can see the health of your car, see if your doors are unlocked, and lock them. I wish the app would let you roll windows up and down.

I saw a video that made a pretty compelling argument for plug-in hybrids. Pure EVs like Telsa 3 have batteries sized to overcome the range anxiety of the buyers. How often per year will you need the full 100 kWH out of your 400 kg battery pack? A plug in hybrid might only offer 50 km electric range, but you can tank gasoline if you want to go further, so range anxiety is not an issue. But most trips (to work, getting groceries etc.) will be fully electric. The clou is that you can build 10x more plug-in hybrids with the same amount of batteries (i.e. lithium, nickel, cobalt etc.). They also should be cheaper because they don't use so much of these expensive materials.

Problem is up until this Prius, most PHEV vehicles got dogshit gas mileage once the battery got emptied, because it became a weak 4 cyl car lugging around a heavy car with a big battery in it. Honda’s PHEV for example, with the battery at its lowest allowed SOC, would get very low 40s, high 30s in fuel economy. I think people get marketed savings in PHEVs being optional to keep charged, but in reality you’re really supposed to be plugging that car in any chance you get, just like you’d be doing anyway with an electric car. As a commuter, the EV is going to be superior. For super long distances such as road trips, this would be a good emergency but then you as the shopper need to factor how many road trips do you actually do and are you cool with buying an inferior product just for the capability of doing those (usually) once-in-a-while trips a tad bit quicker

This car was gapping mazda c3 turbo and WRX with a turbo on throttle house’s latest video. I am impressed. Can’t wait to see what Prius with GR badge can do.

I’m happy with my new Prius prime I got a week ago. If you’re in the market for a prime make sure to get the base 17” rims. You get better comfort, better grip and because it weighs less than the higher trim levels, it goes faster and has more range. I’m not the type of person who would put all my eggs in one basket so I like to have that plan b option of having an engine so I can cross state lines without having to join a que of Tesla drivers waiting to charge it up when travelling. This is a great commuter car that would last a very long time. You can use the electric range for commuting to work and back and use the gas engine for those weekend camping purposes. In my eyes I look at this car as the new alternative to a Tesla.

The AWD vs Plug-in dilemma is a hard one in Northern climates. The AWD system takes up the space that the larger battery needs for the Prime. Hopefully we get a solution in coming years as battery density increases.

Kind of like when Ford reintroduced the flare side bed to the F-150. You could get it with dual tanks unlike previously, but not if you get 4x4, because there was no room for both under the narrower bed.

My last Prius was a new 2010 (gen 3). Is this gen 5? I never found the Prius to be overly anemic, but I would welcome the improved ICE performance w/o MPG loss. Anybody that commutes 40 miles or less each way to work, and can find a plug at work, can commute basically for no gas. It's a no-brainer for many. No range anxiety - no plotting charging stops on road trips, while also getting 54 MPGs.

I have many miles in a 2010 Prius. It's fast enough. It's a great car as long as you don't expect it to be something it's not. EVs are great if to drive to work and then charge up in a home garage. If you don't have a place to plug in like many millions of people don't, a hybrid has many upsides and no downsides besides a slightly higher starting price. Hybrids can be refueled in a few minutes just about anywhere in the world.

As an owner with basically your situation, it's been fantastic. I've only had two minor annoyances so far. One is the attention recognition that constantly alarms if you look away for more than a second, which I turned off immediately. The other is that you can't run it as a pure hybrid unless the battery is completely drained or you have it in charge mode which hurts your mpg. I would really like to be able to run pure electric on my way out of the city, forcibly go hybrid only on the highways and switch back to electric when I am on my way into another city with a bunch of stoplights. Besides that it's been great.

It’s an EV with a “backup gas tank” as MKBHD puts it. So you get the convenience and energy cost reduction of an EV, but also the range of more than a normal gas car (Prius Prime has 962km or 597 mi combined gasoline + electric range). Although most of the Prius Prime’s range comes from the gasoline, for people who drive under 70 km or 44 mi (roughly an average American’s two-way commute) in a day and can charge at home (even using a household 120V outlet), a Prius Prime’s mileage might be mostly electric.

You could use the turn signal stalk/button as a less annoying way of stopping the lane change, just think of it as an assistant like when cruise controls are on the steering wheel I use the accel/decel functions instead of moving my feet so I can relax a little more on trips, but still keep alert obviously in case need the brakes or accelerator, I always felt if I was paying proper attention to the road I could also actually brake faster and respond more effectively since I was more comfy and could focus more on the road and everything around, does that make sense? Use turn signal to begin change and a few moments later when it's where you want, flip it back off and relax, but maybe you wanted a 2 or 3 lane change anyways.... 👍 great video... have a safe day!! 🌎❤️🎶🕺

Just got this car from a 2010 Pruis. Can say I have already gotten turning heads: a neighbor was wondering what I was driving and saying that he may now consider Prius over Tesla. I got a red exterior Prime, so it's a nice blend for the interior red highlights. My previous car was a 2010 Prius, so I have enjoyed the extra luxury, handling, and performance as what I had gotten used to when first getting the 2010. I do think that it's going to hold a segment in the US that's not going to EV. For example my region in the country, you simply can't expect to drive the car long distances and get fast charging. With this Prius Prime, can do full EV in the city, and then do 500 miles of hybrid driving highway (and then later, it's just a few seconds of fuel drawing vs minutes of fast EV charging).

Prius Prime looks good to me. I'll consider an EV when I can get 500 miles on a charge with AC running for the entire trip and not one second before.

That’s because there were several occasions that I didn’t go very far 15 or 20 miles come back, plug the car in and do the same thing again so there were days where I used barely any gas.

It would be cool if they offered a legitimate sporty option/trim for the Prius that tightened up the steering, dynamics, and handling a bit. An adjusted engine tune would be nice. Although even without changing the engine at all, it would awesome to have a reasonably efficient, affordable, A to B car with the Prius looks that handled just a little bit tighter and had a bit less of that typical Toyota softness that still seems to be present with the Prius. That said, Toyota has never really ever executed slightly sporty trims all that well, considering how badly tuned the SE and TRD sport trims seem to be done.

@@purwantiallan5089 The way Priuses are designed to work, turbos just don't really work with them. The Motors already provide enough of a boost for lag-free acceleration, and while cruising the engine isn't really running hard enough to meaningfully get boost. The one situation where a turbo will actually contribute is if you're powering up a mountain for 20 miles, which just isn't really common enough to be worth the complexity. Also, I expect the shifting boost levels would be a bit of a pain to compensate for in the software. AFAIK there has been one successful turbo mod, and it was the result of weeks of troubleshooting just the ECU alone because the software is very strictly monitoring and controlling how much power is coming out of the engine to balance with the motors. And at the end of the day you don't actually get more power, because it's partially determined by how strong the motors are. All the turbo did was keep the battery topped off more often. The only actual way to get more power out of Toyota hybrid E-CVTs are motor swapping, which isn't practical for basically anyone who isn't a toyota engineer.

Let me add another value proposition for the Prius Prime (w/ sunroof): People who drive only occasionally, maybe errands around town and a short commute to work, but have nowhere to charge an electric car at home/work. There are a lot of us condo-dwellers living in urban centers and having to find street parking who just can't make EVs work for them.

Doug is hard-core enthusiast because a lot of testers said the car is fun to drive, especially in normal driving conditions. He also didn't talk about the ride quality which is praised or the build quality/solidity which is also praised. BEV is still a niche market in the USA, even if it is quite larger in California. And while I keep hearing testers going on about how quick BEVs are, very seldom do I see many BEVs, including Teslas, accelerating hard or driving all that fast on the highway. I'm in New Jersey and New York. Maybe in California they are. But here, they are driven moderately. So I'm thinking while some people may be into the acceleration, most BEV drivers are watching the range and going around the speed limit or a tick over.

I've seen several edits of the new Prius as a GR model with lots of mods. This thing can look badass modded.

I think it looks good. Nice interior too. If I was in the market for a car I would likely buy one of these.

Very nice looking car. The coefficient of drag should however always be stated with the frontal area. The two multiplied indicate the total drag, and that's a usable metric. Other than that, I hope they bring an AWD version that is also as fast as the car looks.

it's not my cup of tea but I really do appreciate designers' effort to make it look more sporty
