ALL-NEW 2023 TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID VS UPDATED 2023 LEXUS UX HYBRID

EV Channels Review

This comparison pits the all-new 2023 Toyota Prius against the updated 2023 Lexus UX hybrid. The Prius boasts a significant power increase to 196 hp (AWD) and improved handling, making it a much sportier proposition than its predecessor. It also offers superior fuel economy (4.7-4.8 L/100km) and more interior space, particularly in the rear seats and cargo area (20.3 cu ft vs. 17.1 cu ft for the UX). However, the UX is praised for its more refined and quieter cabin, a slightly more premium feel, and features like a power passenger seat and head-up display, which are absent in the Prius. While the UX is marketed as a crossover, its dimensions and driving position are closer to a hatchback, whereas the Prius adopts a lower, more sedan-like stance. Ultimately, the Prius is recommended for its performance, efficiency, and practicality, while the UX is suited for those prioritizing cabin refinement and a slightly elevated seating position, and who don't require maximum rear-seat space.
