New Features Come To The 2024 Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius will always be of the utmost importance for the automaker as it’s the first successful hybrid vehicle, and not only in its lineup. Its top features include safety, engine performance, great fuel economy and fast acceleration. Consumers can’t get enough of this compact car because of its continuous improvements and it’s up to date tech features. All this excitement will carry over to the all-new 2024 Toyota Prius because customers love the 2023 model.

It’s expected that the 2024 Prius will cost around $28,000 (plus destination fee). It seems that the new model will have the same powertrain as the 2023 model which is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine which goes with one or two electric motors. With only one motor, the Prius hybrid produces 194 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. As for the two electric motors, it gets 196 horsepower and 139 lb-ft of torque. 

The interior is expected to be similar to the 2023 model which offers an 8-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In terms of the top trim levels for Prius models, the features get a bit more luxurious and come with more higher end options. In conclusion, the 2024 Prius will be in very high demand especially because customers love the 2023 Prius and some of its features will carry over. 

2023 Prius VS 2023 RAV4 Hybrid

There is a reason why the Toyota Prius has always been a fan favorite, and that is because it was the very first hybrid and reached over 50 mpg over 20 years ago. Prius has a new competitor, which is the impressive SUV RAV4 hybrid. While the focus shifted a little to the RAV4, it’s now being returned to the brand new redesigned fifth-generation Prius. The new Prius has excellent fuel economy, larger cargo space, and a more modern look. The real question is, which vehicle will come out on top? 

Both cars offer automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane centering, automatic high beams, and road sign assist. Prius is a newer car model, so its safety features are more up-to-date. For example, the Prius has Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, whereas the RAV4 has TSS 2.5. Even though the RAV4 is top in its safety game, it still doesn’t offer a few features that the Prius has. The 2023 RAV4 Hybrid LE has a starting price of $31,560 (plus destination fee), and the Prius XLE has a starting price of $31,990 (plus destination fee). 

The time has come to decide which Toyota hybrid is better, and the winner is…Prius! Prius comes out on top because it has better safety features, fuel economy, and more features for a similar price. On a serious note, both vehicles are impressive and have a lot to offer to the table, so no matter which car a customer goes with, they won’t be disappointed.
