Toyota's infotainment used to be garbage, but they've really improved it lately. And we like it here, just like we did in the Prius. It's been upgraded a little bit with the larger 12.3-inch touch screen. But even though they have different names, you don't actually lose out on any features. In the Prime, you're only going to be able to get SE, XSE, or what they're calling XSE Premium. Toyota doesn't actually offer a limited model, which is the top trim on the Prius. And it even has the same amount of cargo room because of better packaging for that battery. But now, thankfully, you can fit five people. So the old Prius Prime, you actually lost one of the rear seats. The Prius Prime's redesigned interior identically matches what you're getting in the regular 2023 Prius. And if you're interested in adding a PHEV to your fleet at home, we'll help you your current set of wheels at /sellmycar, where you'll get an instant cash offer. For more information on either of these vehicles, head over to, and we've got you covered. But how do these two cars shake out when we got our hands on them? Let's find out. And it has more electric range allegedly. Now, on paper, the Prius Prime has a huge advantage. And to do that, we're going to put them through a series of tests at the Edmunds test track and in the real world. We're here to see which of these plug-in hybrids is more worthy of your dollars. With me our two cars that have been completely redesigned for 2023, the Kia Niro PHEV and the Toyota Prius Prime. Instead of a half mile of fury, where we send fast cars on an empty airstrip, we've got a very practical head-to-head battle for you. This is about the furthest thing that you can get from U Drags. BRIAN WONG: I'm Brian Wong, with Edmunds, and welcome to U Drags.
