2024 Toyota Prius Prime Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Quite adequate
The other day it was -12°C (10°F), and from a fully charged battery (96%) to a fully discharged battery (33%) the car was able to go 37 km (23 miles) at 105 km/h (65 mph) with climate control on automatic set to 19°C (66°F). The car was in auto EV/HV mode, thus the 33% cutoff. I was quite pleased with that result, considering that the car is on winter tires and that road was partly covered with snow. One doesn't need to pick up yoga nor origami to get in or out of the car... it is not a Miata.

Sporty, peppy, with the right amount of tech.
The new Prius Prime plug-in has a sporty look, much better acceleration than prior Prius models, and a very functional multi-functional display with good integration via Apple play. The handling is better than prior Prius models. Dynamic cruise control and lane assist is on par with Tesla Auto drive (This is not the fully automatic drive in the Tesla.) Instrumentation is robust and easy to decipher. See Edmunds review of their 2024 Car of the Year selection for more details. I am definitely happy with my purchase. This did not qualify for the Federal Tax Credit as the Prius is NOT built in the US, but leasing gets you a $4,500 cash reward to lower your capitalized amount and thus your monthly payments. If you like your Prius after driving your Prius for any length of time, you can buy the car outright at any point in your lease to save on the remaining lease financing charges. Do beware of any dealer mark-up the dealership places on the MSRP as Prius Prime plug-ins are hard to come by. However, there are plenty of dealers that have NO dealer mark-up, so look around.

Best car I've ever owned
This is my first Toyota and first plug in hybrid. Unbeluevable fuel efficiency - I'm getting 70 with EV driving combined (I'm unable to charge it often as I live in a condo) and 57 in just hybrid mode. The car is super stable and perfect for my needs. I've heard taller people find it hard to get into but it's great for my 5'7 frame. Love the looks too, but I have primarily got it for the famed Toyota reliability and the mpg. I'll never buy any other brand again. Toyota for life. Call me a fanboy, don't care.

What a Terrific Car
I rarely drive more than 40 miles a day so this car is virtually an EV. And when I do have to go farther, it’s a fuel efficient hybrid in the upper 40s mpg. The car looks sweet, and the obstructed views people criticize the Prius about are neutralized in a matter of weeks of familiarization. The trunk is ok, not great, but it holds what I need.
