IS 2023 PRIUS LIMITED THE BEST NEW PRIUS?

EV Channels Review

Jeff Teague delivers a comprehensive review of the 2023 Toyota Prius Limited, highlighting its dramatic shift in styling and performance. He praises the new sleek, aerodynamic design, the improved 2.0-liter engine producing 194 horsepower (for the FWD model), and the updated lithium-ion battery. The interior receives positive remarks for its comfortable "Soft Tech" seats, modern ambient lighting, and the large 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Key features like the digital rearview mirror, heated and ventilated seats, and the panoramic glass roof are noted. However, Teague points out that rear seat legroom and headroom are somewhat tight for taller individuals, despite the comfortable seats. The fuel economy is impressive, with the Limited FWD model achieving an EPA-estimated 52 MPG combined. Overall, the "Limited" trim is presented as a compelling package, offering a significant upgrade in style and substance over previous generations, though practicality in the rear might be a consideration for some.
