NEW DETAILS: THE ALL-NEW 2023 TOYOTA PRIUS WILL HAVE WORLD'S BEST FUEL ECONOMY

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Toyota Prius is poised for a significant redesign, with a strong emphasis on achieving class-leading fuel economy. While Japanese sources suggest figures as high as 94 MPG (40 km/l) in their testing cycles, the reviewer tempers expectations for the US market, projecting a more realistic benchmark of around 60 MPG, with a best-case scenario of 66 MPG. The new model is expected to feature upgraded powertrains, including a 1.8-liter engine producing 138 horsepower, and an all-new lithium battery and electric motors. The Prius Prime variant will also see improvements in power and electric range. The video also touches upon the broader Toyota Crown lineup, highlighting its global expansion and powertrain flexibility, including potential BEV and hydrogen fuel cell variants. The reviewer notes the Crown's impressive build quality, potentially blurring the lines with Lexus, and expresses concern that Toyota might limit its US rollout to protect its luxury brand.
