2023 Toyota Prius Prime XSE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
I’m 6’2” and 230 pounds and I do not have issues getting in and out of the car. I do a lot of driving and the driver’s seat is comfortable, I’ve only been in the passenger seat once and it was adequate. I like the plug-in hybrid and typically get about 45 miles out of the battery. I had a 2021 RAV4 prime and was always surprised how noisy the engine could be and hoped that issue would be … corrected in this car, but unfortunately not so. While cruising on the highway, the engine is not that noticeable but with any acceleration it is surprisingly noisy.
The ground clearance is almost an inch higher than the previous generation making oil changes with small ramps a piece of cake.
