The new 2023 Toyota Prius Prime is here and it looks way different from the old Prius. Doug DeMuro, the host of the YouTube channel, takes a look at the new Prius Prime and breaks down all the quirks and features. With significantly more power than the old model and more electric range, the Prius Prime is a great middle ground between a standard hybrid and a full electric car. It has an impressive electric range of 44 miles and a 2-liter four-cylinder plug-in hybrid drivetrain that has 220 horsepower. This brings the 0-60 time from the mid 10 second range of the old Prius Prime down to the high six low seven second range.
The Prius Prime has a sleek and futuristic design that turns heads. Doug DeMuro calls it “damn close” to beautiful. The only downside is the price. The base version starts around thirty three thousand dollars, a thirty five hundred dollar price increase compared to the old Prius Prime. The top spec version is called the xse premium and that starts over forty thousand dollars.
