2024 TOYOTA PRIUS LIMITED - DETAILED LOOK + TEST DRIVE 2023

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Toyota Prius Limited, presented as a 2023 model, receives a detailed examination. The reviewer highlights its sporty exterior styling, particularly the redesigned front end, and the comfortable SofTex seats. Positives include the impressive fuel efficiency (though the FWD model tested achieves 52 MPG combined, not the advertised 57), the responsive acceleration in Sport mode, and the functional, albeit offset, camera system. However, significant drawbacks are noted: a claustrophobic driving position due to the large dashboard and steering wheel placement, considerable road, wind, and engine noise, and a firm, uncomfortable armrest. The reviewer also points out the infotainment system's reliance on a subscription for navigation and the somewhat awkward placement of controls and the volume knob. While the design and driving dynamics are praised by some, the noise and driving position issues could be deal-breakers for many.
