For 2025 Toyota ditched the Prime name. It's now called the Prius Plug-In. Otherwise, the 2024 and 2025 are identical. How do you feel about the name change?

Amazing how big kiddo is now. Shows you how long I've been watching.

[srikanthnarayanan]

The A.I. song at the end... scarily catchy.

[NelsonGasparDrives]

I Agree. The butterfly 🦋 cargo cover is kick ass. I have the old one in my 2017 Prius and it’s a floppy mess. Way to go kiddo

Love the family reviews! The Prime SE is the trim for me!

In addition to easing drivers into EVs, PHEVs also help traditional car companies to transition billions of dollars of capital investment from ICE to BEV.

Gasoline costs 4x what electricity does per mile (in our area near Seattle).
That's reason enough to plug in each night. Has saved us $2000 each year the past 4 years.
Since our gas engine fires up only twice a month (long road trips), we change oil only annually (18k miles avg). Gas engine should last forever with few cold starts.

Glad to see Toyota make the Prius stylish, but I wish they did not sacrifice ergonomics. The name change from Prime to Plug-in is wise because most people think "Prime" is merely upgraded options.

Team Muzio, In terms of 2:09 rear seat headroom, your 6'4" colleague at KBB claims there is plenty of it. Are you sure you are not 6'8" and living in height denial? 😉 I was wondering if those special sunglasses 12:55 provide X-ray vision to allow you to see through the humongous 9:25 A pillars? All in all, I suspect most families seeking a 50 mpg Toyota Hybrid would be better served with a sensible Camry. The Camry LE on 16" rims will smooth the bumps for people who put function over form.

I really like it. Yellow looks awesome 👌 👏 👍

[RigiLiquid]

I have never felt comfortable sitting in a toyota, and I was a passenger in and test drove so many over the decades.

[kylegoodman]

How big is the tank on the Prius Prime? One of my gripes with my Honda Clarity PHEV is that the tank is small and it hinders the car's range.

[carryeveryday]

Just bought a fully loaded 2024. EV range covers my entire commute with the exception of about 5 miles which is fine because burning a teaspoon of gas is nothing and also helps burn SOME fuel so it isn’t just constantly sitting. Also get to charge for free at work so it’s a win win.

Hashtag Innuendo Iguana had the day off 😄

The SE is the best trim. I own the XSE, but having owned it for 6 months, I'd easily take the SE over it if I had to do it all over again.

[francisbonga]

Gonna trade in my 2017 jeep compass for this!!

[izgvvob]

If you don't plan to charge it regularly, then you can always save some money and just get the regular Prius!

[hongshi]

I’m just a regular fella so I’m looking at the money, mileage, resale, and size. A family of four like mine is going to appreciate the size of the trunk because it’s bigger for hauling the dog box. He can have light and access as opposed to the Camary. In every other way the Camary is superior. The LE Camry costs less, it’s bigger, and it’s more powerful. Overall my chances of buying any Prius model is about 0%.

[EricMitton]

When comparing aesthetics, I’d compare the prior-gen Prime instead of the prior-gen regular Prius. The 17-21 Prime was a lot nicer IMO than the regular Prius. Comparing that generation (which I own) to this, I would LOVE the new generation’s powertrain, but with two six-foot-tall teens in the family, I’m glad I the prior generation’s extra headroom.

[touchndgen]

Rav-4 prime with the tax rebate might be a cross shop. around 10 less mpg though
