I got a chance to drive base model and it gets 57mpg despite aggressive driving. Only car I've seen getting advertised fuel figure without driving like a granny.
ОтветитьYou definitely dont need to be driving slow to get great mpg. My 2016 prius, definitely not being the slowest car on the road... lifetime avearge is 73.6mpg... (Florida)
ОтветитьBeen driving this for a month now and i only averaging 44.2 . Mostly highway around 70 - 75 mph so is kinda disappointing. Was hoping atleast around 50mpg . And that's on normal or eco mode.
ОтветитьIf you wanna hit that 56mpg’s, you’ll have to drive around 45mph on the highway.🤣
ОтветитьI bought my 2023 Prius XLE AWD in August and I've been getting 60 mi per gallon in morning going to work in light traffic. On way home in heavy traffic I average around 50mpg. If I'm aggressive with driving I usually get around 44mpg. So when and how you drive really matters with mpg in this car. Love the car though. Sips the fuel and can get pretty fun to drive when you get on that gas pedal. 19 inch rims really help with handling and haven't broke grip yet in tight curves going fast.
Ответить"I was driving below the speed limit to maximize efficiency" - Prius driver. SMH
ОтветитьI am averaging 43mpg combined on my 2023 Prius limited with 5k miles on it(mostly highway miles). I was averaging 56mpg on my 2021 prius xle with 50k miles.
ОтветитьI was hoping for more mpg from the Prius. My 2013 VW TDI gets 50 mpg at 75 mph. At 100 mph it’s at 30 mpg and 125 is 17-19 mpg. Drove some lonely roads to get those figures haha
ОтветитьLol my 2015 Cruze does better than that at 65mph
ОтветитьThank you very much for your great explanation which you experienced.
ОтветитьGreat review! Appreciate the effort
ОтветитьMy civic does 43mpg
ОтветитьI read on the Le only half the back seat will fold down flat.
ОтветитьIt is a shame hondas hybrids are not even any better mpg wise... i love the exterior of the new prius but i really dont like the interior. Essentially i want a civic hatch with a prius powertrain.
ОтветитьI call BS on your MPG review . You do not
know how to drive a hybrid and never owned one (Pulse driving and freeway driving?).
You seem to drive it like a heavy foot gas guzzler driver.
Anyways every one will want the Prime Plugin version . Your review is irrelevant. Pathetic I am supposed to believe a 70 year old man isn't sponsored by some one for this review? As though you are a logtime pro car journalist ?
This is a downgrade is many ways. What a disappointment.
ОтветитьJust remember, that weather especially wind and rain affect your MPG's dramatically as it adds a lot of rolling resistance. So I think without that rain storm that you drove in, I'm thinking you were closer to 50mpg. Also, you look like you could be Jeremy Renner's dad.
Ответитьmy 2007 prius gets 48mpg on highway
ОтветитьTypical Prius driver, always driving under the speed limits
ОтветитьInteresting. My 2021 Yaris Cross Hybrid AWD does the exact same mpg, and i drive in the very hill covered regions of switzerland, with lots of ups and down. I do 5.2L/100Km (45mpg) on that road, but it does drop down considerably if i stay in the city only (64ish mpg) and at around 52mpg on the flat regions or our autobahn (if i dont have to brake a lot). Hills trully are the enemy of hybrids.
Note: i can get my avg. work way mpg down a bit if i drive more considerate, with soft acceleration and so on, but most of the times i just drive without a care for mpg.
・🚙EV with engine👍
ОтветитьI'm not sure why the XLE gets less mpg than the LE but according to another source it's 52 mpg VS 57 mpg combined for XLE VS LE. Probably larger wheels and tires account for this but 45 mpg is pretty dismal for new Prius isn't it (even considering hilly terrain)? I have the 2017 plug-in prime and I average an amazing 61 mpg on gas and 5.0 miles/kwh in EV mode without extremely easy driving, just a bit of moderation most of the time. I think I was in my 20's or 30's the last time I challenged another driver to a stoplight race and if I wanted a quick 0-60 time I guess I would own a Corvette, BMW or Tesla. But since I'm never really doing any drag racing with my car and it's quick enough to get from one red light to another or easily merge into freeway traffic (even in ECO mode) my 2017 Prime will not be traded in for a 2023 soon. The inability to actually see the display is a huge deal breaker as well and my 2017 doesn't have that annoying simulated ICE sound at slow speed. So count me a bit disappointed with some of these changes and the design direction Toyota has taken with the Prius. The new look and the improved handling are both big pluses however, as well as the increased EV range. But this could have easily have been an 70-80mpg vehicle instead of a car designed to keep up with a Tesla or BMW, which it still won't in a stoplight race. Isn't economy really why most people purchase a Prus or am I wrong? Why buy a Prius if you want to be king of the 0-60 crowd? I guess I don't get it the overall appeal this car might have to an existing Prius owner but I know some want economy and more performance. And while the potential for economy with the new Prius is still really good, I think Toyota chose to give up a lot of potential economy for flashy 0-60 times and probably lost some or a lot of sales from existing Prius owners like me.
ОтветитьAccording to Google Toyota used premium 91 octane fuel for the mpg tests
ОтветитьAs I expected, was driven like it was stolen. This is a Prius not a mustang, max 50-55 mph
Ответить52 is not acceptable, I'm doing 55+ in my 2019 lol.... Best I ever had was right over 70.
ОтветитьI am debating between this and an Ev. I got a new job that will add ~30k to my yearly income with ease. I am debating should I keep my 2008 honda accord coupe which will cost me ~5-6k in gas. The gas prices now is what is making consider getting a new car. It's between a chevy bolt or a ioniq 5. If I was to get an hybrid it would the prius prime. The new job is 50 minute drive away: 90kilometers each way. Any thoughts anyone.
ОтветитьIf there is an elevation gain during your drive, whatever your mileage is below the epa estimate, on your way back, it will be that number above the epa estimate on the reverse trip that includes an elevation drop. Also with those toyota engine platforms and all the rest involved in the enineering, if the temp. outside is below 50, you will see lower electric motor output, and a little more so below about 30 F. That is pretty shocking, seeing as how I had a 2016 Prius II Eco and drove it 45,000 miles averaging 62.5 mpg and I floored it everywhere I went because it could handle it and in a Prius, when you're trying to floor it, it's about as fast as half-assing it in a truck.
ОтветитьHave one on order and I have two in the driveway at the moment. Efficient driving in a Prius means not using cruise control. You want to pump and glide as much as you can. That doesn’t mean speed up and coast but mild on and off the throttle. Don’t be a tool and hold people up.
Ответитьhow many chics you can put in this prius?
ОтветитьGreat review! 👌🏽
ОтветитьTax Credits? Any idea how long it will be before we know if the Prius will qualify for the $7,500 credit?
ОтветитьDon’t let your silly politics cloud your judgement on the impact Musk has had in this industry. Love him or hate him. Great video but political comments (from either side of the pasture) are a turn off.
ОтветитьI wonder if Toyota is kinda missing the mark here with the Prius?
It’s always been know for it’s super mpg and that seems to be going down.
For sure some updates needed to happen, but how with a plug in is it getting less mpg than a regular Prius?
Great Review btw!!!
I’ve had 3 Prius’ and I don’t think there’s really a break in period. I mean basically you’re driving a computer 😂
What kind of roads your on makes sooo much difference. I drove my last Prius mostly at the coast in North Carolina; flat as a pancake and slow speeds. I got amazing gas mileage (I’ve been tracking my mileage since 2011 using an app).
I bought a new Prius in 2021 and moved inland, where it’s not so flat an also where there’s insane highway driving (think autobahn…I’m often well over 80 mph going with morning traffic).
My mileage went from consistently low 50 mpg to now mid to low 40 mpg in a car that’s supposed to get better mpg according to the sticker (it’s not a Prime, pure Hybrid).
No matter how hard I try to hyper-mile, it’s just impossible with the roads I now drive on.
When I’m back at the coast for a visit, the mpg is fantastic!
Go figure
Great review
yikes 46 on the highway going slow. my ioniq hybrid gets 65-70 mpg in those conditions...
ОтветитьI have a manual shift 2017 1.4l turbo Volkswagen Jetta that regularly gets between 40 and 45 MPG on the highway with mindful, but by no means "grandma" accelerator handling while typically going 80 mph. And when I need to accelerate hard from a stop or pass on the highway the car has plenty of power to feel confident especially compared to pretty much any other economy vehicle. I can't get excited for 45 mpg for 3x the price and significant complexity for maintenance.
ОтветитьPretty underwhelming on the mpg front.. Guess i'm keeping my '17 Hyundai Ioniq that gets an easy 55~ on the highway and city for another year.. boring car, but it's so cheap to drive.
ОтветитьNever thought I would ever say this about a Prius, but that is a gorgeous car.
ОтветитьHow your gas was reading on this trip ? You forget to talk about it .... I wanna know
ОтветитьI love that color
Ответитьpre-production for how long now? fgs
ОтветитьOfcourse its a hybrid the street mpg will be much better then highway
ОтветитьNah
I'll stick with my 91 CRX SI
You said a tesla is cheaper to operate….. do your math. You can buy two of these for the price of one tesla. And electric car batteries are bad for the environment, must be replaced eventually so horrible resell and they have horrible service issues. Not even close to compare. No fan boy here, just someone who can add it all up. But good video otherwise.
ОтветитьWhich grade of fuel been used in the test?
ОтветитьShame these cars are going to end up on their roofs thanks to their drivers
ОтветитьI bought a new 2021 Rav4 hybrid. When I first got it I drove casually in eco mode, not really hypermiling, and I got 52 MPG. I use it primarily for Uber and drive aggressively when I don't have passengers, and I often have a full car of passengers. I average 39.9 MPG. So I would imagine the Prius gets way better gas mileage than you're experiencing in this video. I've heard people getting 72 MPG on the older models.
ОтветитьLove the new Prius. Thanks for the review! Also I’m not the only one with 25 shark vacuums! Gotta love the duo-clean versions!
ОтветитьEven the squirrels want to get squished by the Prius🎉
