Ask anyone in Stanleytown, Danville, Rocky Mount, and Greensboro to name a hybrid car, and there’s a good chance the vast majority will come up with the Toyota Prius. The original Prius is rightly world-famous as the car that brought hybrid car technology to the masses. However, the all-new 2023 Toyota Prius could make a more significant impression than any of its predecessors with more power, better fuel economy, and what could be one of the finest redesigns in recent automotive history.
The Prius has always been a car with its own unique style, and plenty of people liked the fact the sometimes polarizing exterior styling made it clear to everyone around that this is a car that does things differently. While the all-new 2023 Toyota Prius manages to improve on previous models on the inside and under the hood, the stunning new exterior styling will get people talking the most. Forget about tweaks and adjustments; the all-new 2023 Prius drops quirky and unique for sleek, stunning, ultra-contemporary, and staggeringly desirable.
Depending on how you look at these matters, there are three or six trim levels to choose from in the 2023 Toyota Prius lineup. If you don’t consider the addition of AWD enough to justify a new trim level, the Prius is available in entry-level LE, mid-range XLE, and range-topping Limited trim levels. If you think AWD models deserve their own trim-level status, the 2023 lineup consists of the LE, LE AWD, XLE, XLE AWD, Limited, and Limited AWD.
Hybrid cars like the Prius may not trigger immediate conversations about fuel economy in the way EVs now instigate discussions about range before all else. However, fuel economy is still one of the most crucial attributes of the 2023 Toyota Prius. It’s one of the areas where the all-new Prius is better than ever, but certainly not the only one. The new hybrid powertrain is based on a 2.0-liter inline-four gas engine that combines with the electric motor to produce 194 horsepower, 73 horsepower more than its predecessor. Front-drive models should get you from 0 to 60 mph in 7.2 seconds, while AWD models cut that down further to 7.0 seconds.
All-wheel drive and other specifications can affect fuel economy, so ratings are not uniform across the range. The front-drive LE trim is the most economical version of the new Prius with excellent EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 57 mpg in the city, 56 mpg on the highway, and 57 mpg combined. The Limited AWD is the most thirsty model, but it still gets 49 mpg in the city, 50 mpg on the highway, and 49 mpg combined.
The exterior styling, performance, and fuel economy make a compelling case for choosing the 2023 Toyota Prius above the competition, but the good news about the car still needs to finish there. Toyota is renowned for packing masses of the latest safety tech into its vehicles, and the 2023 Prius is no exception, with the standard inclusion of Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 in every model. The latest version of the suite features new sensors and enhanced detection and lane-reading capabilities. The standard features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, enhanced active lane control, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, and automatic high beams. There’s even a system called Proactive Driving Assist, which provides limited hands-free driving in certain circumstances.
