With 196 hp, a stiffer suspension, and up to 57 mpg, the new fifth-generation Prius isn’t just a pretty face.
Coming in two inches shorter than the outgoing model and with a bit more ground clearance, the new Prius feels roughly the same inside as the '22 but with a bit less headroom. The 2023 Prius' interior is sparse and usefully arranged for the most part, with a mix of materials that aren't luxurious but certainly don't feel cheap.
A Prius also needs to be fuel-efficient, and the 2023 model offers the best fuel economy of any Prius ever—57 mpg, but only in the FWD LE trim. The combined ratings for the different trims start at 49 mpg with the XLE or Limited versions with all-wheel drive. The FWD XLE I tested is rated at 52 mpg, but I got just under 48 mpg.This brings us to a factor that a Prius hasn't needed before: drivability.
If you're used to how that or even older Priuses accelerate, do not expect that same sluggishness here. The 2023 is not spritely, but with a stiffened suspension and tighter steering, it can be moderately fun to drive. Putting all of these pieces together gives Toyota marketing a chance to attract a younger buyer and, in turn, a wider audience."We want to use design and then performance to make a car that looks fun and is more emotional for the driver, and I think you'll see that in the [ad] campaign,"spokesperson Chad Moore says.
Design is subjective, but the emerging consensus on the 2023 Prius is that it's a great-looking hybrid that offers more in almost every aspect than the version it replaces.
