Toyota's Prius has been completely redesigned for 2023 and this fifth-generation hybrid is ready to turn some heads.
Featuring some sleek new exterior styling, a larger, more powerful engine, impressive standard safety features, and a redesigned interior, the Prius is ready to turn some heads.
Not only has the car been given an entirely new look -- one that nicely captures forward-looking styling without being too 'out there,' but it now has a new powertrain that's just as efficient as before.
The older 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine has been replaced by a larger 2.0-liter four-cylinder setup that now makes 194 total horsepower in front-wheel-drive models and 196 total horsepower in all-wheel-drive models. That's a big bump up from the previous generation, which had 121 total horsepower.
But that big bump in power didn't affect the car's efficiency. Toyota says its combined fuel economy ratings for all models and powertrains is the same or better than the earlier version.
Inside, passengers are treated to an eight-inch color touchscreen infotainment screen on the base LE and midgrade XLE models, while a larger 12.3-inch screen is optional on the XLE and standard on the top-end Limited trim.
Passenger space is down a little versus the earlier Prius and cargo space also dips a bit.
All new 2023 Prius models come standard with a health suite of active safety equipment called Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, which includes pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, lane-departure alerts with steering assist, radar-based cruise control, lane-trace assist, and ProActive Driving Assist, which can automatically slow the car when going around curves or approaching a vehicle in front of it.
All this comes at a price, however. The new Prius LE starts at $28,545 for a front-wheel-drive model, a big bump over the outgoing generation of Prius. The XLE starts at $31,990, and the loaded Limited starts at $35,560. All-wheel-drive adds another $1,400 to all three trims.
So is all of this enough to keep the Prius relevant in a world where all-electric models are cutting into its turf, as are a host of efficient non-hybrid models and even hybrid rivals? Check out our full video to find out!
