The 2023 Toyota Prius marks a significant evolution, boasting a completely redesigned exterior that the reviewer finds "sexy" and a substantial upgrade in powertrain, delivering 60% more horsepower for a total of 194-196 hp. This increased power doesn't compromise fuel economy, with the base LE achieving an impressive 57 MPG, while higher trims like the AWD Limited still offer a strong 49 MPG. The interior is praised for its minimalistic and modern design, featuring a new infotainment system and a gauge cluster positioned behind the steering wheel, which the reviewer, with a petite driving position, found perfectly visible. However, taller drivers may struggle with visibility of the gauges. A notable drawback is the wireless charging pad, which tends to overheat phones. Despite a price increase over the previous generation, starting around $29,000 for the LE trim and topping out at $36,000 for the Limited AWD, the reviewer concludes that the new Prius is a "good car" that handles nicely, offers a quiet and comfortable ride, and is a strong contender for anyone looking for a hybrid.
