In this episode, the lads from TheStraightPipes take the 2024 Toyota Prius XLE all-wheel drive for a spin, diving straight into its fuel efficiency, boasting a combined 196 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque from a 2L 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain. They delve into the nitty-gritty of its fuel economy, clocking in at a respectable 4.8 L per 100 km combined. The discussion heats up as they compare the non-plug-in hybrid to its Prime counterpart, shedding light on the unique features of the all-wheel drive version exclusive to Canada, offering a slight power bump over its front-wheel drive sibling in the States.
The team dissects the Prius' design elements, from its distinctive Hammerhead front end to the unconventional door handles, sparking a debate on the necessity of all-wheel drive in certain regions. They scrutinize the rear visibility and lack of a rear wiper, pointing out practicality concerns. Inside, the interior garners praise for its spaciousness, comfortable seats with intricate white stitching, and a hint of ambient lighting that adds a touch of sophistication. The infotainment system, however, falls short with a minimalistic approach, leaving only a volume knob for control.
As the road test unfolds, the Prius surprises with its quick acceleration and nimble handling, showcasing a blend of comfort and performance. The rear seats are put to the test, deemed suitable for passengers of varying heights. The absence of a sunroof is rationalized in the pursuit of weight savings and enhanced fuel efficiency. Wrapping up with a playful exploration of the cup holders and visors, the team's banter adds a touch of humor to the review, culminating in a well-rounded assessment of the hybrid vehicle that aims to strike a balance between eco-friendliness and driving dynamics.
