TOYOTA PRIUS PHEV PRIME CITY FUEL CONSUMPTION ECONOMY REAL TEST MPG L/100 KM URBAN TRAFFIC PLUG-IN

EV Channels Review

This video presents a real-world fuel consumption test of the 2023 Toyota Prius PHEV (Prime) in urban driving conditions, starting with an empty battery. The test was conducted with two configurations: one with 19-inch rims and a solar roof, and another with 17-inch rims. The results showed a fuel consumption of 3.3 l/100 km (71.3 mpg US) for the 19-inch rim version and an improved 3.0 l/100 km (78.4 mpg US) for the 17-inch rim version. The reviewer notes that the 17-inch rims, equipped with tires having a better rolling resistance index, contribute to this efficiency gain. The on-board computer's accuracy was also verified against actual refueling, showing a minor 2% overestimation on the 19-inch rim model and accurate readings on the 17-inch rim model. The video focuses purely on consumption data, providing specific figures for urban driving.
