I’m going limited AWD, or Prime XSE Premium. This is forever car for me. I’ll have others, but this stays in the stable permanently.

Wow, the first Prius that isn't ugly as sin.

Thank YOU! Decisions, decisions. Its a bit pricey. I've been on the wait list since July, part of me says be practical, part of me says indulge. I've not had a brand new car since my late 20s, a long time ago. Ive been saving up a down payment since July, I'm next on the list. I just won't know what's coming in until it does. (I didn't make a list of wants, I just got on the wait list). Thank you again, Ben!

You need to to a review of the base LE.

Love the close-captioning. At 0:36, we find out the Prius has a, “nacho aspirated” 2 liter engine.

I love Toyota hybrids!! I'm buying this Ben.

I’ve never cared for the look of the Prius before but I like this. Very good price point too. 👍🏾

Complaints about the now windshield wiper for the back window. It hinders the view when its raining, and also the wet snow builds up. As for the rear leg room, that's another complaint, very little and for anyone 5-11 tall and over, it's uncomfortable for long drives. The head room in the rear is terrible, they wanted a sleek style so they took 2 inches away.

If you don't drive to much you are better off with a normal Civic or Corolla and use the money you save for gas.

I am going for the Toyota Prius Limited. I do not need the AWD version but I believe the Limited edition is the best option for me.

[saadtheman]

toyotas are the best
1. better on gas
2. no turbos on some models
3. cheap on maintence
4. hybrid system is way better
5. more reliable

2023 Toyota Prius Hybrid HEV Limited AWD Liftback!

B mode is for going down hills, read the manual

[Vaughnage]

B mode is for regenerative braking and downhill regeneration....thought you were supposed to know what you were talking about

40 g is kind of stiff for this compact. I guess they're charging you for all the fuel you may be saving. Like selling you the gas without having a gas station.

I wish the back doors had a regular handle

An FYI, Limited Premium package comes with the Advanced Park, 360 Panoramic Camera, Rear Heated Seats, and the Digital Rearview Mirror. These do not come standard with the Limited unfortunately. Biggest down falls for me though, no dual climate control, no rear vent for passengers, and of course having to purchase the Premium package just to have all those additional features which honestly should have been in the limited trim to begin with. Height clearance is a little low for my taste. I'm 5'11 and I fit inside just fine, but anybody taller would have an issue sitting in the vehicle.

If you're looking from an XLE to a Limited, here are the additional features you'd be looking at.
Fixed Glass Roof, Powered Liftback, Driver Memory Settings, Heated and Ventilated Seats, and JBL Sound System. On top of that, if you get the Premium package, you get all of those other features listed above for an extra cost.

I feel like for a majority of people, the XLE will do just fine. If you don't care about all that fancy tech, you're still getting a really nice looking Prius that can zoom around and get awesome MPG.

Thanks for the review, love watching these videos. Looking at getting a Limited Trim myself with the Premium Package. Seems like the premium package is really hard to come by at the moment.

@benhardy can you please review the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross? I'm thinking about this as my next car instead of buying another rouge! Car and Driver gives it HORRIBLE!!! reviews! I would love to know what you think about it!

[jeffreyerickson]

I love it. Wow it's fast. Could you add one to your personal stable Ben

[alexvaliansky]

Slow down, please. Your commentary sounds like you just took some uppers.
