2023 Toyota Prius LE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

This is the LE base model, and it has everything you need for gas sipping luxury. Full safety suite, beautiful styling, and excellent fuel mileage, better than any other version. Yeah, no spare tire, but....unless you get a blowout, the kit will work just fine.

2023 Toyota Prius Limited 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

I’ve owned every Prius (Prime, C, V, regular), but this new one is my favorite, particularly because of the styling. I had been on a waiting list for 8 months at one dealership, but then I stumbled upon a 2023 black Prius Limited that had just arrived at a nearby dealer. And it was available with no price mark-up! That’s a rare situation these days. So, I grabbed it. It’s rated 52 mpg. I’m easily getting 60+ around town as long as the trip is three miles or more so the hybrid system can warm up. Our highway trip from the dealership delivered 55 mpg. The ride is smooth with minimal road noise. The front seats are very comfortable. My petite wife and daughter are fine with the back seat, but it's cramped for me even though I’m a slender 5’10". My head touches the roof if I sit upright. Back leg room is only good for me if the front seat is moved far forward. Cargo space is not great, but it was not a deal-breaker for us. The car sits VERY low, so getting in and out might be a challenge for some people. Controls are very intuitive, and I like that Toyota is returning to buttons/knobs for things like climate control. (I hated the climate control screen in our Prius V.) The upgraded JBL sound system is the best car audio I’ve ever had. Also, Toyota has decided it’s not dangerous for drivers to see album artwork for music! Our 2022 RAV4 Prime only shows artwork from my flash drive when the vehicle is stopped. (Seriously?) In just three weeks, I’ve had numerous people comment on the looks of the car, even comments from strangers in parking lots. It definitely catches the eye. The design is very sleek and stylish. Our previous Prius models gave us zero problems, so we are expecting the same great Toyota reliability with this Prius as well.

3rd Prius

2023 Toyota Prius XLE 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
51 of 57 people found this review helpful

After owning a 2010 IV Prius and a 2015 IV Prius, both silver, I decided to put down a $500 deposit at a local Toyota dealership spring 2023 and wait. The Sales person kept me abreast monthly of the dealer's allotment. I could take what was delivered or pass it to the next waiting customer. It took about 5 months, and 9/19/23 I drove off the lot a new 2023 Reservoir Blue Prius XLE FWD. I would have preferred an AWD, but beggars can't be choosers. I've had the car for about 5 weeks. I've been very happy with owning a Prius, which is why I purchased my 2023. I'm 75 and don't expect to purchase another car before I leave the planet. Sure, there are some things I don't like, but I can live with out. It is slightly smaller interior, slightly lower to the ground, slightly lower ceiling, no spare tire, no GPS (I never used it anyway, no DVD player (I've downloaded my smart phone and have Spodify) and I no longer have that awesome sunglass holder (that was above the rearview mirror). However, what I got in the 2023 model far out shines what I lost! A much smoother drive (thanks to the larger tires;/wheels) and sportier/jazzier exterior and interior styling, to name a few. Always great gas mileage. Thank god that split rear window is gone and those ugly, ugly large taillights. Other than routine maintenance and replacing break pads, I have never needed a major repair. It's a very low-cost maintenance vehicle, as long as the owner maintains regular oil changes (the cheapest thing an owner can do to extend the longevity of any vehicle). My only serious complaint that pissed me off about this new vehicle is the rear tailgate is manual. Come on Toyota, why couldn't the XLE include a power operated tailgate lift??????????? Really?????? That's why my review doesn't give 5 stars.

I bought it for my wife. She's only 5'5" tall. It fits her fine. I am almost 6' and can hardly get in and out of the car. Also, where is my 2nd FOB that I was promised? Took delivery of the car in June 2023. Five months have elapsed and still no 2nd FOB. Not sure what to do if the FOB is misplaced or fails. Anyone have suggestions?
