2022 Toyota Prius Prime Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful
2022 Limited, glad to have purchased for sure - amazing fuel efficient, why drag around a giant battery if you can charge at home? if you do the occasional long trip this will beat all the pure electrics - it's not fast but it's not dangerously slow like some would have you believe - I've never had problems merging onto the hwy, fast enough off the line to keep up with the flow of traffic, comfortable - really, for my situation this is the perfect car - just know what you need and make the call - opted for the Limited because I wanted the upgrade speakers, parking sonar and auto wipers, heated steering, etc - all working as advertised - and for those that say the controls are difficult, really? Everything is either automatic (climate, wipers, high beams) or contained on the steering wheel

Yes it's not like the Supra I owned long ago for performance. But in all electric you feel like you are gliding around in silence! I like it! Fuel economy is jaw dropping. Got the upgrade package (Canada's mid level trim) and enjoying infotainment and apointments. Got an android plug in box to add wireless android auto.

2022 Toyota Prius Prime XLE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I purchased a brand-new Toyota Prius Prime XLE plug-in just a month ago on February 2022. The very first thing that I noticed was that the car feel swell-built, i.e., top quality. I wanted a plug-in car so that I can charge the hybrid battery using the solar panels on my home’s roof. A full charge for my Prius Prime using 120v takes about 5 hours from no charge to a full charge. The full charge allows the Prius Prime to run completely on electricity for 25 miles; after that, the hybrid components of gas and electric take over. EPA rates the Toyota Prius Prime plug-in at 133 miles per gallon. I only drive about 6,000 miles a year. After one month the car is getting 200 mpg (!), which means I estimate I will buy a full tank of gas every 7 or 8 months and that is phenomenal. I always drive the car in ECO mode. The interior looks good and feels like it is top quality. The suspension feels quite solid and that is important. I really like that the front panel displays mpg automatically. What a simple and wise strategy, which encourages me to drive conscientiously. Additionally the front panel displays a numerical rating (after shutting off the engine) of the quality of my driving with respect to ecological value and I like that. I think the rating evaluates my acceleration, braking, use of AC and heat. The sound/music system is an important component of a car for me. The Toyota Prius Prime sound system is pretty good – I would rate it as a B+/A-. I like that the car comes with free two years of maintenance! The MSRP was reasonable. Mine was $31,284 (February 2022). I had to pay $2500 above MSRP. I would have preferred to pay MSRP. Some Toyota dealers are charging $4,000 to $8,000 above MSRP and that is price gouging that I do not respect. One dealer charges no markup, but they did not have a new XLE car available for several months. I plug in my car every other night to preserve hybrid battery life. An expert recommended this practice. It is OK to charge the hybrid battery every night but, I was told, that will shorten the life-expectancy of the hybrid battery. Before I purchased the Toyota Prius Prime, I called the owner of a local repair shop that works only on hybrid cars (there are many hybrid car manufacturers). I wanted his independent, unbiased opinion of which hybrid car, plug-in or otherwise, was the best and most reliable. He strongly recommended that the Toyota Prius was the best, either the regular hybrid (Prius) or the plug-in (Prius Prime). My opinions are based on driving the Toyota Prius Prime plug-in for only a month. What is important is how well the car will hold up, that is, will it be reliable with minimal repairs and how long the hybrid battery will last. Toyota’s warranty for the hybrid battery is 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. Note: The Toyota Prius Prime has three models: 1) LE is the least expensive; it does not have its own GPS system and its interior is not as good a quality (I was told by a Toyota salesperson). 2) XLE is the mid-priced of the three models; it has its own GPS navigation system and has a very good quality interior; price is currently about $1500 more than LE. 3) Limited which is about $4000 too $5000 more and has a lot of fancy safety features. Bad: The only built-in music streaming is Sirius, which is free for 3 months then $10 a month. Sirius is good but I prefer but Spotify for music streaming. Unfortunately, I have to have my smart phone attached to use non-Sirius music streaming services. The car has a pad on which we can place the smartphone, but my phone has a case which prevents that from working (phone case is too large). So I have to use a cord to connect my smartphone and that is irritating. One day I may forget to remove the smartphone and someone might break my car’s window and steal it. I wish that Toyota would make adjustments so Spotify and other music streaming devices can play without a smartphone. Also, I wish Toyota would adjust the pad so that a smartphone and case can activate without having to plug in with a wire connector. When I purchased the new Toyota Prius Prime, I traded in a Camry and paid off the Camry loan. And I cancelled the extended warranty that I had purchased for the used Camry. It is now one month since the trade-in and the purchase of the new Prius Prime. Yet I am still receiving notices of overdue payments for the Camry. I financed the Camry through Toyota Financial, but they claim they have no record of my pay-off. There is no reasonable excuse for a one-month delay in clearing the Camry payoff. So my recommendation to folks considering buy a new or used Toyota, try to get financing via some financial institution other than Toyota Financial; use your own bank, credit union, or other service. The clock on the front panel does not automatically adjust for daylight saving time, so I had to do that manually. I wish Toyota would fix this, at least until daylight savings time clock changes go away.

We bought two Prius Prime for our sons as commuter cars to go to the university and work. One is an LE and the other one a limited. Had to buy what I could find, super hard to get still. One I bought in New Jersey, the other in North Carolina. Prices in Florida were beyond ridiculous. In any case, I’ve driven both cars. Super impressed, great pick up on the highway, super responsive in the city. Full of technology and amazing mileage. It took three months for the first Gad fill u, they mostly go on electric. Couldn’t recommend these cars enough! And I agree, xle trim is enough. Stay safe out there!!!

2021 Toyota Prius Prime Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
It has alot less cargo space. It's fun to drive I would have given it 5 stars if they could lower the floor space in the cargo area I charge it every day and I get about 95 miles to the gallon over all but even uncharged I drive at 70 and get 54ish. Get the prius prime LIMITED. it has power driver seat wayyyy better sound system RCTA Rear cross traffic alert Blind spot monitor Satellite radio navigation a host of suites I can even sit in the house and see how much charge is left in it how far I've gone how many miles are left on that tank of gas how charged it is if it's charged or not and can start the car turn on the air conditioner or the heater if it's hot or cold out from the app or from the fob If you're in Oregon and you're planning to keep the car a long time go up to moore motors in Beaverton Instead of a 5 year 60000 mile power train warranty they give you a lifetime warranty on the power train that's a huge plus 4 us And it can be worked on by any SAE certified mechanic So we don't have to drive up to Hillsborough from Grant's pass to get it worked on

2021 Toyota Prius Prime LE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Bought in NY. $29553 (LE model) car with $5500 cash back and $4502 tax rebate. Fuel milage is between 90 and 115 mpg. I use it to commute to and from work with a couple errands on the way home. Comfortable, quiet, and easy to drive. There is a regenerative braking system that can be manually engaged when descending long hills. This helps control vehicle speed and adds additional milage to ev driving mode. I use eco mode and drive in ev while committing around town and hybrid while on interstate. So far 60% of the miles I have driven have been all electric. Perfect short trip vehicle.

2021 Toyota Prius Prime XLE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
31 of 59 people found this review helpful
the 21 Prius Prime is a comfortable, roomy car with some benefits&major drawbacks that should take it off your shopping list. Price: $28-36k and fuel mileage isn't much better than a plain-jane hybrid at thousands less. Fed rebate helps. The EV-only options are nice but hardly worth the premium. When fully charged, the ride is brisk, responsive and agile. It is a pleasant driving experience except wind & engine noise. Here are the killer-concerns: The engine is noisy. Wind noise is pronounced The INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM in the XLE & Limited should be avoided at all costs. No android auto, no in-car wifi, the maps are useless in the big screen and navigating around whilst driving is annoying and pointless. Car Play is top-half and very small icons. Adjusting cabin temp is convoluted and not intuitive (you will get hot & can't figure out how to turn down temp in eco/warm mode) Without android auto, the entire car is dumb. No entune, no wifi, everything is what is there. Once you have these features on your car, this car is a step back The driving range is only 25 miles EV-only. This is not as a far as you think. The hatch/boot space is extremely small. you will not be able to have more than 1 suitcase. You can't carry anything. No rear window wiper. More annoying than at first glance. If it's raining, you can only see what's in the small window glass. Despite what you might be told, these depreciate at least 8K in the first 6 months. You will lose 55% in 3 years. While it is generally a pleasant car, your best bet is the LE version (no adj seats, small infotainment, cloth seats) used and low miles. You will save at least 10K. Used 20/21 car with a few thousand miles for 18K, EV-only options might be the best option if you must have a prius over an ionic.

If fuel mileage is really important to you, you should consider this vehicle. If fuel economy is taken out of the equation, this car is really undesirable. The driving experience is unpleasant. Interior noise at highway speeds is high. Luggage space is compromised by the large battery that only provides about a 25 mile range. The infotainment system is inferior.
