NIGHT REVIEW: 2025 TOYOTA PRIUS PLUG-IN XSE PREMIUM AT NIGHT (HEADLIGHTS, EXTERIOR & INTERIOR) 4K

EV Channels Review

This night review of the 2025 Toyota Prius Plug-in XSE Premium highlights its striking redesign, particularly its Lamborghini-esque front end and sleek fastback profile, making it a desirable vehicle. The reviewer praises the bright LED lighting, including the distinctive DRLs and rear light bar. However, the review points out several drawbacks for a top-trim model: the optional solar roof's minimal range contribution, the non-folding mirrors, the surprisingly skinny 195mm tires potentially impacting traction, and a frustratingly small, non-customizable 7-inch digital gauge cluster that is partially obscured by the steering wheel. The reviewer also notes the single-zone climate control and issues with the wireless charger not accommodating a newer iPhone. Despite these criticisms, the 12.3-inch infotainment screen, comfortable synthetic leather seats with red accents, and the overall aesthetic are seen as positives.
