I drive one daily and get about 42mpg. The way he described how the EV mode functions is really confusing. Bottom line is that as long as you keep power at or below the halfway mark, the car will try to be in EV mode as much as possible. When the EV button is depressed, the computer will try to force the car to stay in EV mode up to 25MPH. If power exceeds the halfway hash, the computer then decides to either kick start the engine or stay in EV. As long as you have the EV button depressed, under 25mph AND power under the halfway hash, you will stay in EV mode.

The interior is definitely boring, the instrument panel design hurts my eyes, but the car works great as a family hauler. I like the grabby brakes, it imbues a sense of urgency to the otherwise lackadaisical nature of the car. It’s slow to accelerate, but at least it tries to stop quickly. The suspension is much better controlled than the first and second gen Prii, but the steering is devoid of any feel.

2 biggest gripes about the car: 1. Huge turning radius. 2. Rear hatch is difficult to close. And forget about trying to get the red color you see in the picture here. The chance of you seeing red is something like 4 in 100. http://freecarads.com

Wagons are definitely becoming more popular in the U.S and it’s great to see Prius build a car that is bigger and can accommodate more passengers and cargo. http://www.enterprisecarsales.com

Have a look at the Prius + that the UK is getting. Lithium batteries under the centre console which leaves room for…. A 3rd row seat. Again we in north america get the shaft!!!!

my wife currently has a Jeep Cherokee and we’re looking to trade it in for a prius. Our jeep doesn’t have 3rd row but it is AWD. We live on a farm. The main reason we want to trade up is to save gas. i love the idea of an SUV type prius but i agree with some other posters, how can they call it an suv type when it has such a low clearance?

I was so wishing for a REAL suv! With the low clearance and no 4 wheel drive I guess it’s not yet. Still waiting and hoping?

My sister has a 2011 Prius (clearly not SUV version). I don’t like the interior design between passenger and driver — awkward and ugly. I do like rhe economics of it though. Stellar!! I would definitely check out this new model. As far as three row seating. We own an Enclave… the 3rd row isn’t worth the crappy fuel mileage. Also own a Corolla. Great little car… really liking Toyota. Will be looking forward to test driving the new Prius.
