40K is the new 20K. Once we get used to the 40K, it'll be 60K. Isn't inflation depressing?

👍🏻👍🏻 It would appear Toyota committed to continue to produce affordable, advanced quality hybrid technology. Some other legacy manufacturers are more interested in the 100k electric only destiny.

I’m considering the Prius. I wanted to see your review. Thank you

Great, comprehensive overview of these terrific Toyotas. But the problem, as you pointed out, is that they are not available for purchase at MSRP. Unless Toyota can fix this major problem, hundreds of thousands of loyal North American Toyota customers will forgo their first choice and purchase a Mazda or Subaru in 2024, myself included.

My favorite is the Hybrid Toyota Yaris. It drives like a charm. Toyota is the best in the business for hybrid cars in my opinion. My Yaris does an average of 25km/liter or 59 mpg, while having 116 horsepower. 80 mpg is also possible if you are driving Miss Daisy. Where a naturally aspired car would be guzzling fuel in traffic jams, this one almost needs those jams for fuel economy. I have bought the first edition model, which has lane assistance, keyless entry, a rain sensor, rear view camera and a lot more. That model is the best choice in my opinion. But it is a small car, especially in the back of the car. That is the downside. I really hope this car is available in your country.

First thing, you have to choose between a sedan or an SUV. That choice is going to eliminate half of the contestants, either way. No one who is determined to get an SUV is going to consider the sedan. These days, most people have convinced themselves that they need an SUV, whether they actually do or not. Among the SUVs, the Rav4 obviously hits the sweet spot for most buyers, because most buyers don't truly need the additional size of trhe Highlander or Grand Highlander. Instead, they simply want a roomy enough Toyota SUV hybrid that won't break the bank. The Venza is slightly quieter, with a bit more upscale interior, but the Rav4 has the far more practical interior and "tougher/more rugged" looks. The Highlander is nicer than both, and the Grand Highlander with its choice of three engines, including two hybrids, almost makes the standard Highlander irrelevant.

Among the sedans, the Camry is the clear winner. There is basically no reason to get the Prius over the Camry, unless you simply love its wedge shape, which will quickly look dated. The Camry is far roomier, quieter, smoother, faster, torquier, more comfortable, and just plain nicer, for the same or even less money. The MPGs on the base LE Camry hybrid are a claimed 51 in the city and 53 on the highway, but but every time I take mine on the 250-mile round trip to the Bay Area I average 57-ish on the way there, and the low 60s on the way back. No idea why it does better on the return trip, since it's a relatively flat freeway the entire way. $31, 400 was the msrp for the 2023 LE Camry, and that included heated seats, heated steering wheel, BSM, and RCTA. At that price, you're getting so much more car for your money than you are with an equivalent-price Prius. If you go to the upper end of the price spectrum, the top trims of the Camry offer so much more than the top trim of the Prius, which only boasts a meh AWD function as its main selling point over the Camry. You really have to want that middling AWD and the extra one or two MPG to choose the Prius over the Camry, because the Camry beats it like a drum in nearly every other way.

I'd say the best would be the Camry SE hybrid Nightshade edition though with everything considered its 37, 640 though the top trims let you have red leather seats if you have issues with dark colors like black/grey from getting burned in the summer or a warm day in spring/fall or getting stuck and sliding around if your wet/sweating

I bought a 2023 Pruis LE from CarMax. The main problems and deal breakers (I'm returning it) are 1) When you turn on your headlights during the day, the meter screen and info screen dim. No way to make them brighter. Ridiculous.
2) At night with headlights on, there are weird shadows cast on the road in front of you, making it look like there's some dark ghost shadow floating above the ground. No wonder there are none on the road. Too bad. It's a fun car to drive and perfect for short people like me.

Yaris Cross Hybrid is great for the money.
I drive mine with around 3.8l/100 km / over 60 mpg.
The 2024 version is going to have little bit more power and an updated interior.

Cost of Hybrid Batteries - yes, significant if it happens. But there are Gen2 PRIUS which still have/had original battery now, or when the car died of old age.

And brakes last close to forever, transmission issues are non-existent. Unlike expensive repair bills for DSG, CVT or complex multi-speed (up to 10) automatics.

And Hybrid resale is fantastic - at least here in Australia.

Venza is stylish, premium interior and reliability.

I want Corolla hatch hybrid or Lexus IS hybrid. They both aren't available here.

I’m concerns out the warping on the heads, heat and cooling have showing to cause some damage.

Sadly, Toyota Australia won't give us the new Prius.

I had a Gen4 - your comment about the height of the boot (trunk) - I never had an issue with - it's floor area which is the critical criterion for a boot normally - shopping bags, school bags & projects.

Measuring by "volume" is irrelevant - where SUVs fail - most purposes, height is irrelevant.

My father in-law has a 2004 Sienna, which he bought new for $34K CAD. It's time for a new one, today over $75k CAD with markups 😂 WTF

I've been buying Toyotas for decades, but the utter failure of their supply chain may push me elsewhere.

I’ve been Toyota for 20 years. But after driving rav4 and cx5z I switched over. Mazda is coming with Hybrid 2025. I’ll be getting one Hybrid from Mazda

Got 2023 Prius XLE with roof but no bigger media for about 39.5k after tax and everything, dealer had normal for now days add-ons for about 1.5k and another bs warranty for 1.8k (basically a mark up), would be so much better buy without all that greed (here in ga we can't have mark ups so they go around and pose it as addons)

With tax it costs $45k. With financing it costs $54k through the life of the loan. Remember that.
