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

I received my Prius Limited after 2 months wait, 4 days later picked up a screw in one tire, and low and behold the $47K car did not come with a spare tire, and the odd-ball 19 inch tire size not available in the state of Texas. In spite of extended warranty purchase, Dealer said tires not covered, so I was sent home with screw in tire to deal with it my self. The car runs, rides and handles solid like yo would expect from a Toyota, however has some quirks that someone looking to buy should be aware of. 1. 52/52 mpg gas mileage is advertised, and this car has never come near that. So far I have driven from Austin Texas to San Diego 2 times and have not been able to get better than 36 mpg on the freeway. Around town averages between 38 and 45 mpg. 2. The passenger seat is the most uncomfortable seat I have ever been in. It seems to be mounted 10 degrees or so pointed to the right. I use my knee while sitting in it to help point my body straight however if sitting in it for long periods like running a lot around town or on a long trip, by butt gets very sore and I get a crick in my neck. And on those long road trips forget sleeping in that reclined seat. Toyota needs to re-invent that seat. 2. The steering wheel controls are confusing and overly complex, radio channel and volumes are on opposite sides, and its real easy to mess up the view on the dash display by accidentally hitting wrong button, and figuring how to get it back you have to reference the manual. 3. Trip meter resets every time you stop for gas, so if your tracking mpg on a trip longer than one tank you have to quickly write it down when you stop because it disappears when you get out of the car and you cannot go back and look at it. 4. In spite of the larger size LCD screen, the radio GUI is garbage, it has a few different random screen settings, where you can only see 4 stations saved, or 6 in the other view, and there are no signal strength meters so you end up saving channels that fade in and out, and the touch is insensitive so when bad music comes on you have to take your eyes off the road and push harder to get to a new station. 5. I am 5-10 and getting in and out of the car have to watch my head. My wife is shorter but if she wears her hair up she hits getting in. 6. Glass roof, the door to the glass roof is cheap and binds.

Beware of the 2023 Prius LE

I was so excited to get my Prius. I was even willing to buy it after the dealer told me it was blue and it was actually grey. Thank goodness CarMax had their 30 return policy! Here are the problems. If it's a rainy day and you want to put your lights on, the dash and meter screens go dim. No way to adjust this. Toyota dealer says there's no fix. Add that to the fact that when you have your headlights on at night, it looks like there's an alien in the road in front of you. Some strange shadows cast, perhaps due to the design of the headlights. Anyway, these were deal breakers for me. Not to mention anyone over 5'9" doesn't fit, no room in the trunk and of course, no spare tire. Just my humble opinion.

Aside from some minor gripes, I love this car

This is my first hybrid vehicle. A lack of a garage or driveway steered me away from a plug-in hybrid, let alone a fully electric vehicle. This is also my first car with Apple Car Play, heated seats, adaptive cruise control…well, a lot has changed since my 2014 Rogue. I didn’t get the AWD I originally wanted, though I ended up keeping the Rogue for emergencies and didn’t need to sacrifice the slight drop in mpg’s. Getting through this winter with FWD, I still may not need to keep the Rogue. My 2 minor gripes seem superficial, but paying over $35,000 for a vehicle, and the fact that Toyota has been making cars for decades, these shouldn’t be issues. 1) The seat belt buckle scrapes the side panel of the car just behind the driver’s seat. So reaching for the buckle, or releasing the buckle after driving has created white scrapes in that area. Right now, I have been able to wipe them away, but I’m sure the wear and tear will add up quickly. Also, I find myself being far more cautious than I’d ever thought I’d need to be when reaching for or releasing my seat belt buckle. 2) no rear wiper?! With the slope of the rear window, water beads and easily limits what is already a limited rear view. I’ve seen older models of the Prius on the road and see they have rear wipers, so I don’t get the reason for doing away with it. I don’t think any of the bells and whistles can truly accommodate the obstructed rear view, especially when water droplets on the rear camera can further add to the issue. But overall, I love the style, power, mpg’s, and compliments and statements of surprise that my car is actually a Prius. My minor gripes wouldn’t stop me from recommending it, but they do leave me wondering why Toyota wouldn’t handle these 2 basic things.

I want my 4th gen back!

This is my 3rd Prius. The 3rd and 4th gens delivered their claimed mpg. Not so with gen 5. After 3500 miles I have one tank at 50 mpg with rest in the 45-47 range. Entry takes a new approach with the new roofline. I have to run the seat back for 5 seconds and then turn backwards to sit down and then swivel to get my legs in and then run the seat forward. I am 5’10”. The hybrid system makes more whirring, clicking and other noises than earlier models. Some of the advanced driver assists/safety features are great but some are more than annoying. I have about half turned off. At least they allow you to do that. The styling is great except for the roofline. The extra power is great but the beast keeps pulling for a second after you lift from full power! I had to order my XLE sight unseen and no test drive. All appear to be sold before they get to dealer. My 2023 cost 50% more than my 2017, which delivered 52.4 mpg over 53k miles before being totaled by a brand new CRV apparently without emergency braking. Forget about getting a deal on a new one. Instead, cringe when you see markups of $1800 for crap that should be labeled “additional dealer profit”. Bottom line: my wife loves the new one! My advice is to look for a good 4th gen.
Spare me a tire

The 2024 Prius hybrid is an attractive sedan that handles well and is a significant improvement over the 2022 Prius with great mileage and it is a friend of the environment. To be honest, I love the new look of the new Prius. I'm 5'11 and found there was plenty of room in the car re leg room and head room, both in the front and rear seating. But I'm disheartened that it does not come with a spare tire, and that's a deal breaker for me. The repair tire kit just doesn't cut it.
