2021 Toyota Prius XLE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
65 of 68 people found this review helpful
I bought my 2021 Prius XLE a little over a month ago. This is my 4th Prius I've owned. This one is definitely my favorite. Heated seats and heated steering wheel, all the safety stuff, Alexa and Android Auto, leather. The car feels more substantial than the other Priuses I've owned. Fuel mileage obviously is insane, 55 mpgs on the highway, and city driving is always over 60 mpgs. The handling seems better than the earlier versions. The car also seems to have more power when in using purely electric. No, this is not the PRIME version of the Prius. I mean when one is just driving in city traffic, there seems to be more power. The car drives more solidly, with not a single rattle or odd ball noise. The car is perfect.

2021 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I've owned a ton of cars through the years; back in 2014, I got a Prius as a rental and remember enjoying it very much. I finally got tired of putting gas in my tank and started doing some research on Prii -- they are made in Japan and have legendary reliability. Checking fuelly, it seems like the later models all get about 50 mpg. I test drove several Prii but decided on a gray LE model with black interior. I've owned it about 3 weeks and 1,200 miles and really like it: it's extremely quiet, smooth and pleasant to drive. I've had to put gas in it twice which is a welcome relief. It's not that I can't afford gas, I just hate stopping to put it in. I no longer feel compelled to gas up after taking a 200-mile trip because there's still about 350 - 400 miles of range left (which is what many cars have with a full tank -- like my previous CRV, for instance). I can't imagine going back to a conventional car that gets conventional mileage. There is definitely a place for larger vehicles -- like if you have a large family, you're a tradesman and carry a bunch of stuff around, or you tow things -- but I bet if lots of people were honest with themselves and what their needs are, and they tried a Prius, they'd be pleased. I am extremely happy with my purchase. UPDATE, 10/12: Love this car. I have right around 8,000 miles on it and the vehicle has consumed 134 gallons of gasoline. My operating cost per mile is about $0.51. I love how quiet the car is. The air conditioning is also the coldest and most effective system I've experienced. I am hoping the heat will be half as effective come winter and I'll be happy. I'm about 6' tall and I feel comfy in the car but I can see how a larger car could be more comfortable for someone who wants more legroom; as it is, I scrape the tops of my legs against the bottom of the steering wheel upon entry and exit. Improvements I'd like: the steering wheel to telescope out further. The automatic locking system to work on all doors not just the driver's door (I have to fish out my key fob to open the hatch if it's locked -- most newer cars have a proximity sensor so when you're near the car, pressing any of the external buttons unlocks the doors without resorting to pushing the buttons on the fob). I'd also like a self-dimming rear mirror. This is a pretty basic car and it could be that higher trim levels address my wants. I don't plan to get rid of this car but I could see getting a Camry or a RAV4 hybrid to supplement this vehicle when my significant other's car nears time for replacement. I am just so impressed with this car. I bought it to take us places on the weekends so we don't have to think about gas and it's met every expectation. I rarely go below a half-tank which means we travel about 300 miles and consume about 5 gallons of fuel doing so. The fuel range is phenomenal and I love driving the thing. April 17th, 2022 update: have owned "Alice" more than a year and over 13k miles. Still love the car and enjoy driving it every time. Mpg dipped to high 40s / low 50s over the winter but is rebounding to mid to upper 50s as it's getting warmer. One of many things I love is leaving the car "on" with the heat running while getting gas because the engine stays off and I re-enter a toasty car. The biggest thing I dislike is how low Prius is. They make lift-kits for these and honestly 1 1/2" of height would be terrific. I'm not buying a lift-kit but it would be helpful. The car is great and I still think 80% of motorists could get by with a Prius. I love my little putt-putt !! UPDATE, 10/18/22: still love my putt-putt, Alice. No complaints or problems. No unusual maintenance. Just passed 20k miles. There's a little wear on the fabric seats but I have to remind myself it's just a cheap little car. I may look into getting some colorful seat covers ... I love not having to think about my car, maintaining it, doing much of anything except pushing the start button and going. I recently inherited a CRV and while I enjoy the space inside and higher ground clearance, it's frustrating how much gas it uses compared to the Prius. UPDATE 4/18/23: Prius has been totally dependable and I still love driving it. She has about 27,000 miles and over the past 10 fill-ups, has averaged right averaged just over 56 mpg; I expect this to increase with the warmer temperatures. The Prius and CRV make a great vehicular combo -- one with tons of cargo space, AWD, ground clearance; the other with terrific comfort and excellent mpg. I went and saw the new Prii and while they're more powerful, they're also smaller inside so I remain extremely pleased with mine :-) Five stars and two thumbs up !! UPDATE 10/20/23: Nearly 38K miles and nothing but oil changes, new wipers, new cabin air filter, and new tires. I make money driving the car with the current IRS reimbursement rate and I love to drive my car. Every time I get into it, it feels like "my new car." When I got the new tires, the dealer offered me a 2023 Prius as a loaner. I liked the extra power but the interior felt smaller and I disliked how the steering wheel obstructed the instrument panel. If they bring it the bright yellow to the US, however, well, I may have to get one. In the meantime, loving my '21 Prius, Alice.

2022 Toyota Prius Limited 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
13 of 13 people found this review helpful
Just got the 2022 Prius Limited and drove about 55 miles home with it and the system stated 65.3 MPG !!! I averaged about 60MPH during my drive. The seats are very comfortable and the lumbar adjustment was perfect. The car is full of safety features and is surprisingly quiet and smooth. The cruise control worked perfectly and maintained the proper distance and pace. The sound system is nice, though it would be nice to have a separate subwoofer. It handles really well and the lane keep assistance is very helpful too. If you don’t mind a hatchback, the Prius Limited is a perfect choice!! Highly recommended. Toyota reliability and two years of free maintenance makes it a no-brainer !!

2021 Toyota Prius LE AWD-e 4dr Hatchback AWD (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
20 of 21 people found this review helpful
There is a lot to learn for someone who has never driven a hybrid or a car with as much info on the instrument cluster as the 2021 Prius Hybrid LE with AWD. So far, the car is handling well and there is lots of interior space. I am entertained by the car's evaluation of my driving efficiency after I turn the power off. So far, I have been told that I accelerated too much, used the A/C efficiently, need to moderate my use of A/C, could drive at more consistent speeds.
Fifth and best of the bunch

My 2021 Prius is just old enough now to get it's first tank of gas. 53.4 MPG from the first tank (all city) is the best I've ever done, especially since it was reading 30 MPG and 20 miles 3 weeks ago when I bought it. You can really feel the difference the Li-Hydride battery makes in power and economy. I've had 5 Priuses (2005, 2010, 2013, 2017 [PriusV], 2021). Each one is a remarkable improvement over the last. All but one has seen 100k miles, and I still have 3 of them. I don't remember what getting a car repaired is like any more. I do have one complaint about the new one. Previous Priuses all had generous dual gloveboxes that held tons. This car has one that BARELY contains the manuals. Way too small! ---It's now been 1 year and I'm more impressed than ever. In 9000 miles fuel mileage is a consistent 53 mpg regardless of city/highway use. The car accelerates and brakes more than adequately for a family car, and it otherwise handles better than a family car should. (This from an owner of 2 true sports cars.) Every feature on the car functions perfectly. Seats could be a little more comfortable & supportive, but then why would Lexus exist? --I've now topped 24,000 miles on this car. Still couldn't be happier, except for one dealer-related issue. I noticed a district drop of about 3 mpg after the first (free/dealer "ToyotaCare") oil change. Mileage stayed the same after 2nd as well. Two months ago I gave it it's third oil change myself, using the Toyota recommended 0w16 weight oil (Mobil 1). Mileage immediately rebounded and I'm getting a reliable 55-56 mpg in warm weather. I found that the dealer was using 0w20 oil, which they stock in bulk. It made that much of a difference. I don't know if it made a difference in wear (I doubt it), but I'd advise bringing your own oil to the dealer if this is the case for your car.
