The Toyota Prius hatchback turns over a new leaf—yes that’s a clever reference to Nissan’s electric vehicle—as it enters its fifth generation in 2023. After being possibly the ugliest car on the market the Prius has pupated into a gorgeous butterfly. The new car offers up to 196 horsepower, the most ever from a Prius. Toyota estimates the 194-hp front-wheel-drive model will get up to 57 mpg combined, also the best number a Prius has achieved. A completely redesigned cabin welcomes a more traditional approach to the driver’s-space layout, with bigger screens and a sweetened offering of features including available heated rear seats. The new Prius has a low roofline, a wide stance, and a low seating position that complete its transition into something that looks very much worth driving. The Toyota that started the hybrid movement finds that it’s rivals with a host of vehicles now, cars like the Hyundai Elantra Hybrid and Toyota’s own Corolla Hybrid, and several hybrid SUVs as well.
