I don’t think people understand how much of a marvel of engineering the Prime version of this car is. Being able to have amongst the highest efficiencies as an EV while lugging around a 2.0L AND simultaneously being able to have the highest efficiencies as a Hybrid while lugging around a 13.6kW battery is insane. AND it goes 0-60 in under 7 seconds? Ridiculous.

This is the biggest glow up of any car I’ve ever seen.

The piano sounds while touching the hvac controls killed me

[krypellt]

I have had this car for 8 months and 10k driven mileage. It is literally a perfect car. Everything you could ever want out of a car. I have limited model and the tech is perfect.

Actually the Prius doesn't have a conventional CVT but rather a pair of tandem planetary motors that work as a transmission, the whole thing is bulletproof

[bigchadsmall]

CVT yes but not the CVT most people know. No belts, no problems

[PaulSherrard]

The Prius Prime is the best value for a vehicle in Canada right now. With the federal 5k discount, it's cheaper than a regular prius, uses very little gas, and will be reliable for 20 years. Quebec and BC get an even better deal. Good luck finding one, though.

I love how Yuri probably stole his daughter’s mini piano to record the sound for the piano key joke lol

[teovm]

Absolutely. This is far better than an EV for regular people like me.

[harshaldongre]

This car actually looks futuristic and cool without overdoing it!

[TheAwareHuman]

Respect to Toyota Engineering. Like mad respect. A budget car. With efficiency. With power. With handling. With ride quality. With aesthetics. It is literally the perfect car. This is a car that should be used to teach mechanical engineering students in universities.

"Looks like a 4 door Prelude". SPOT ON! I didn't see the similarity until you flashed up the prelude photo 😂

Very happy to see you two guys reviewing everyday vehicles as well as the more exotic or wishlist cars. Please keep The Straight Pipes going strong with this kind of variety.

I have a 2013 Prius Plug-in and it drives like a 30-Year-old Trash Can with an Engine! So perhaps this is my new car! Thanks for the Awesome Reviews Guys!!!

I have the 24 prime. Its amazing. I get 80+ miles to the gallon i cant tell people enough how much i love it

[wafflesnfalafel]

the piano noises while you were smashing all the buttons had me howling... thanks for the super vid

[david]

This is the happiest I’ve seen anyone drive a Prius

[ljpr]

The BZ4X/Solterra made more sense for me with all the incentives and rebates. I don't need gas. But I am glad to see I share common parts with such a popular model.

After having an AWD car in Canada, theres zero percent chance id buy an economy car without it. Most people who commute far enough to justify an expensive commuter for the fuel economy, is going to be driving through winter conditions where AWD is the undisputed GOAT. Then you can also go to your cottage and not get stuck spinning your wheels trying to go up a steep gravel incline.

So as a Californian, I can give you a reason why awd is so convenient. If you go to the mountains there is chain control, but if you have awd and snow rated tires you do not need to use chains. For someone that snowboards like 20 days a season it is great to have.
