Toyota Prius 2023: this is what he says about a test drive

Finally, the design of the Toyota Prius has changed for the 2023 model. This gorgeous car from the Asian brand required a radical change on the aesthetic level, which many expected. Now it has a sleek and aggressive look.

In addition, the technology section has been significantly updated to quickly enter the conversation about hybrid vehicles, which may become the first choice of many consumers in the automotive market.

Its appearance can be immediately associated with the design of the Tesla Model 3., one of the most iconic electric vehicles on the market, and in some ways it is similar to it. Details in the lines, a lower roof and door handles hidden in the pillar make the Toyota Prius aesthetically similar to the US electric car company’s compact sedan.

Inside, it stands out with a new infotainment system and controls that create a pleasant and sporty feel and even a little futuristic thanks to the steering wheel panel responsible for communicating information about the main elements of the car.

The mechanical aspect also does its job after the performance boost, as many users have complained about previous models that lacked power. The car is now equipped with a 2.0-liter V4 powertrain with 194 horsepower, which is a significantly different driving experience compared to the previous version of the Toyota Prius.

The Toyota Prius handles very nicely both on straight roads and on winding roads or on hills, which was not the case with previous versions that only served to get from point A to point B.

In addition, gas mileage can reach 57 mpg despite the more powerful engine. Without a doubt, Toyota surprised with this fifth-generation refresh, taking a major step towards brand electrification with manufacturers in the sector pointing to carbon neutrality in favor of fighting climate change.
