What was ever wrong with the dashboard?

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.

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.

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.

the exterior design of this thing is 🔥

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?

@@matthewlibanio8227 Gotcha I didn't know the gen 2 Volt's real world mileage was that good. Good to know. I've actually done pretty well with a gen 3 Prius. Averaged 58 mpg with one, 55 with another, the latter having a noticeably worn out battery. Both of these are summer gas MPG numbers, winter being 3-4 mpg lower. In regards to the new Prime beating the gen 2 Volt overall, sure it does, though it's several years newer and not necessarily a "fair" comparison. It's too bad Chevy axed it and is under EV-only hypnosis now. I've always been an EV fan but the idea of mandating them for everyone is nuts.

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

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!}

It looks awesome, and not just for a Prius

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

love the breakfast guest appearance at 7:20

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

The first decent looking prius

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

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

Thanks

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

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

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

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 clear they designed the gauge cluster for their new yokes...but then they had second thoughts about making that widely available

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

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

Forget the frost. We got about 20 cm snow here in Thunder Bay Today

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

I live in Chile, I called Toyota Chile to ask when the new Prius arrives, and they told me that they are not going to bring it because they already sell many hybrid cars, they recommended me to buy the Hybrid Corolla to replace my old Prius...

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

@3:15 it’s Toyota’s new Beyond Zero badge. Also seen on the teaser picture of the 2024 Tacoma TRD Pro tailgate 👀

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?
