An affordable alternative for customers not willing to go electric.
Toyota’s fifth-generation Prius certainly has a lot to like.On the one hand, no car is more synonymous with eco-conscious virtue signaling than this ubiquitous lozenge-shaped hybrid. But on the other hand, the Prius’ gasoline-fed powertrain is a stark reminder of Toyota’s reluctance to follow its competitors’ leads and go all in on EVs. So where does that leave theToyota’s fifth-generation Prius certainly has a lot to like.
With front-wheel drive, a base Prius LE is estimated to return 57mpg city, 56mpg highway, and 57mpg combined. Spring for an XLE like my test car or a high-zoot Limited, and those numbers will fall slightly to 52mpg across the board, mostly due to the larger 19-inch wheels. Without changing my driving style during a week of testing in Los Angeles, I routinely saw fuel economy in the 50–52mpg range. In the Prius, efficiency is a cinch.The new Prius is no longer a complete slug during acceleration.
The aptly named Normal driving mode lets the Prius do its thing without any extra eco assist, and if you’re feeling frisky, there’s a Sport setting, which, I mean, come on. No one’s buying a Prius for the rewarding driving dynamics.That said, the new Prius isn’t a complete dud to drive. The ride is comfortable, and the car corners nicely, though the steering is predictably light and numb.
