2022 Toyota Prius Prime XLE 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric plug-in hybrid CVT)
First, let me quantify my glowing review. I upgraded from a 2003 Ford Taurus to the 2022 Prius Prime XLE. Needless to say, I am blown away by the technology upgrade alone, and that's not even taking into account the Plug-in electric aspect to this amazing car. Here are the things I LOVE:
1. The XLE trim has this amazing 11+ inch screen, which is just fantastic and integrates with Apple … CarPlay seamlessly. After a couple days of playing around with it, I now know where everything is - maps, audio and climate control.
2. Running in EV mode - all electric. Seriously, it feels like my car is sailing. Took it out in EV mode for the first time late at night to get milkshakes. There was no motor, it was like we were sailing on a cloud.
3. Coasting and braking steadily RECHARGES THE ELECTRIC BATTERY. So if you pay attention to the handy dandy Eco Display, you can tell when you are charging. Driving this car is like a video game! It's fun to stay within the bounds of Eco driving! I also don't mind heavy LA traffic or stop lights nearly as much, because these stops charge my car and I don't use any $4+/gallon gas.
4. Because I have a plug-in, I can now park in electric car parking anywhere and charge it up. Drove to Disneyland 13 miles in all electric. Charged it up there for $1.63, and drove it back all electric. So, so amazing.
5. I can charge my car easily in 5.5 hours plugged in to my normal home outlet - no need to install an expensive EV Charger.
6. I can start my car, check mileage, check battery charge and even start a charge from the Toyota Mobile app. Incredible.
Now the Edmunds review is correct - the electric battery does take up valuable real estate in the cargo compartment. However, this is a small price to pay for the MASSIVE benefit the all-electric battery provides.
