Under the hood is now a 2.0L inline-4 pared with an electric motor to produce 196HP when equipped with AWD. Is the 2023 Toyota Prius a new sedan WORTH the Price?

HALF the price of a Model 3 (and 10x the build quality). This is the true game-changer.

I never considered purchasing a Prius but Toyota did an awesome job with this generation.
I can't wait to see what they're going to do with the next gen Camry!

Amazing exterior design, Toyota did that!

[EG-bklg]

I actually like it in this color believe it or not! I can see maybe leasing one or just flat out owning. The design is very nice! They really took their time and listened to their customer base and challenged the competition! Great Job Raiti!!! As always! - Eric

i can honestly say i was that person saying i’d never buy a prius. but seeing it remodeled, i’ve never been more interested. truly a game-changer. thank you SO much for this review

I'm so excited! I ordered a 2022 Prime in the summer which was supposed to be delivered by now. But when I saw the redesigned Prius I was blown away! Switched my order to a 2023 XSE which hopefully will be delivered by summer 2023 🙏🏻

They really hit a home run. I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan of the stuck up flat screen on the dash as opposed to the more integrated look (it’s just preference I know. That said, that digital instrument cluster is dead sexy, no other way to describe it!

Seriously considering this for my next car. Did a road trip from Tampa to Maine in Aug and rented a previous gen. Loved the efficiency but hated the styling and lack of power. Seems like Toyota fixed both of those and then some!

Never thought I’d say I want a Prius now. Looks great!

[Churboiismiley]

Wow! 😮 👏🏼 remarkable exterior design. Never thought I’d say this, but I would definitely consider this an alternative everyday driver. In terms of design, this is far more appealing than other eco friendly/EV out right now, in my opinion. I love the way it looks, hats off to Toyota for nailing the design!

[thabitpulak]

Most of the advantages of an electric car with none of the negatives, and decent styling! This one will break records sales wise… especially as we go deeper and deeper into the recession.

Good job to Toyota on the new Prius. Great interior, good power, and good styling.

[bryang]

This is the first Prius I would actually consider. Looks pretty fun. I'm with you on the steering wheel, not a fan but overall it looks good.

Nice review! Some corrections: The “B” gear mode is not for normal driving, but mainly for going down hills to save your brakes. It maximizes regenerative braking (even when brake pedal is not pressed), but the normal drive mode also has regenerative braking when using the brake pedal (and even slightly when just coasting).

This is the hybrid like no other. Toyota done a great job with the new body style. Great review Joe, Lori, and Steven.

[omarcortes]

The prices are very attractive and this car is great for city driving. The Prius finally caught our attention.

[yoabyse]

I can’t wait for this one to hit our dealership. We’re going to have a lot of happy customers! ☺️

[akrs]

The front end looks like a Lamborghini countach lol. Love it

[roupenyeremian]

This is the one I was waiting for. Toyota has naied it with this model. A couple of pointers: IMHO, the hybrid version is the best value - really good fuel economy. I was never a fan of plug-in hybrids. Also, while it is roomy and good enough for the majority of folks, if you are tall the rear headroom can get tight. In the US, at least my American friends have more model choices, in Canada it's more limited. I think you;re right with the front emblem, it should have the other badges with the gunmetal colour. I don't mind the fender flares being the black - they're not huge and seem to fit in smoothly. No rear wiper blades but it doesn't need one.
