Amazing how big kiddo is now. Shows you how long I've been watching.
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.
The A.I. song at the end... scarily catchy.
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.
I Agree. The butterfly ๐ฆ cargo cover is kick ass. I have the old one in my 2017 Prius and itโs a floppy mess. Way to go kiddo
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? ๐ 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.
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.
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 isnโt just constantly sitting. Also get to charge for free at work so itโs a win win.
Thanks for reviewing the base trim
I really like it. Yellow looks awesome ๐ ๐ ๐
ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT REVIEW
Love the family reviews! The Prime SE is the trim for me!
Love this! Great review!
Hashtag Innuendo Iguana had the day off ๐
I have never felt comfortable sitting in a toyota, and I was a passenger in and test drove so many over the decades.
If you agree that the Camry is very close on fuel economy and price to the non plug in Prius, shouldnโt all Prius be plugins?
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.
In Canada we do have the yellow!
They are a good family!
