2019 Toyota Prius 2019 Toyota Prius 2019 Toyota Prius

When you think about impressive performance, maybe a car with a quick quarter-mile or zero-to-60-mph time is the first thing to come to mind. But you can also look at performance through the lens of efficiency, and the restyled 2019 Toyota Prius is a standout in this regard, consistently delivering well over 50 mpg without having to change your driving style one bit. And with a new all-wheel-drive version for 2019, the Prius has the potential to appeal to a new group of buyers. I traveled to Kohler, Wis., to drive the latest version of Toyota’s iconic hybrid to see how it performs on the street and in the snow.

Efficiency

Toyota made the 2019 Prius available to drive on short street loops that mixed brief highway driving with lower-speed city streets and rural roads, and the car returned some stunning trip-computer-estimated fuel economy.

The base front-wheel-drive L Eco trim level is the most efficient version with Toyota-estimated gas mileage of 58/53/56 mpg city/highway/combined, the same as the 2018. (Other FWD trims are rated 54/50/52 mpg.) The L Eco’s trip computer showed 59.2 mpg at the end of one loop and 64.8 mpg at the end of another. I drove it like any other test car, and the outside temperature was hovering in the low 30s — not ideal hybrid weather. I don’t normally get too excited about fuel economy, but the Prius’ performance (albeit on short routes of less than 15 miles) was remarkable.

The new Prius AWD-e isn’t as efficient, with manufacturer-estimated gas mileage of 52/48/50 mpg, and its trip computer mpg was around 5 mpg less than the L Eco’s on each drive route: 54.6 and 59.6 mpg, respectively. That’s in line with the 6-mpg combined spread between the L Eco (56 mpg) and AWD-e models (50 mpg).

The LE AWD-e and XLE AWD-e trims are 170 and 145 pounds heavier, respectively, than their front- drive counterparts, and they have a rear electric motor that makes 7 horsepower and 40 pounds-feet of torque. The motor drives the rear wheels from zero-to-6 mph to reduce wheel slippage when starting off, and it can drive the rear wheels as needed up to 43 mph. AWD-e trims also use a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack for better extreme-cold performance instead of the lithium-ion pack that goes in front-drive models.

How It Drives

On dry roads, the driving experience of front- and all-wheel-drive versions is essentially the same. Acceleration is acceptable — the Prius is quick enough to keep merging with highway traffic from becoming a stress-filled endeavor — but I wouldn’t call it swift.

What really shines, though, is the hybrid system’s overall seamlessness — both when accelerating and braking. The transition from all-electric power when starting off to when the gas engine comes on is smooth, and brake-pedal feel is linear and predictable. That’s not to say that the gas engine runs quietly; you do hear a lot of engine drone in the cabin when the 1.8-liter four-cylinder is running. There’s also wind noise at highway speeds.

The Prius steers with a light touch, but steering feel is nonexistent. It’s also surprisingly willing to take on fast corners; it feels planted and stable, lending it some unexpected sportiness.

Wisconsin is usually good for some snow by December, but since it was nowhere to be seen in Kohler, Toyota made its own snow-covered course to showcase the capability of the Prius AWD-e.

Like front-drive models, AWD-e versions use low-rolling-resistance tires, and the AWD-e’s 5.3 inches of ground clearance is only marginally greater (0.2 inch) than that of the FWD Prius. On the snow course, the AWD-e Prius held its line better through corners and had no trouble accelerating up a hill from a standstill.

The Inside

Changes to the interior for 2019 are few but noteworthy. Toyota has moved the switches for the optional seat heaters next to the center console cupholders to make them easier to reach, and the cabin’s gloss-white trim has been replaced with gloss-black accents. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity didn’t make the cut, but Toyota said it plans to add both in the future, without providing a timetable.

The car’s driving position is comfortable, and the cabin is big enough for taller adults to ride in the front and rear seats at the same time. The rear-seat backrest isn’t reclined as far as I’d like, and the sloping roofline makes the rear side windows a little small, but headroom and legroom in the backseat are good.

With a standard 60/40-split, folding backseat and the car’s hatchback design, the Prius’ versatility impresses. The AWD-e’s cargo area measures 24.6 cubic feet, and it swells to 62.7 cubic feet when the backseat is folded down. (The L Eco, XLE FWD and Limited have 27.4 cubic feet behind their backseats.)

Pricing

The base front-wheel-drive L Eco trim starts at $24,690, including a $920 destination charge. Front-drive LE and XLE trims are $25,900 and $28,740, respectively; the price for an all-wheel-drive LE is $1,400 greater, and an all-wheel-drive XLE is $1,000 more. All-wheel drive is not offered for the Limited trim, which is priced at $33,120.

While the AWD-e Prius performed well in the snow considering its efficiency-focused tires, if you’re concerned about getting where you need to go during harsh winter weather, you should really consider a set of winter tires on separate wheels. Winter tire and wheel packages for the Prius are relatively inexpensive (less than $700 at Tire Rack, for example), and they’ll improve traction for front- and all-wheel-drive models alike. There’s the hassle of storing your extra wheels and swapping them twice a year with the changing of the seasons, of course.

With the right tires, all-wheel drive is hard to beat for winter traction, and though a tire change won’t necessarily give a FWD car AWD performance, it can improve things for most motorists. If what attracted you to the Prius in the first place is the 56-mpg combined rating of the L Eco model, winter tires give you extra traction during winter months without having to pay the AWD-e’s gas mileage penalty year-round.

  • This car LOOKS like a great buy on paper.

    This car LOOKS like a great buy on paper. The car was NOT designed by someone ever intending to actually use one. Right off the bat: WHY WHY WHY would you not install a dial for the radio or volume controls? This is so absurdly awful when it comes to the practicality of the vehicle. Have fun pushing non-responsive touch screen buttons to do literally anything. The charge pad is often faulty, and often over heats. Entirely pointless if you aren't on a road trip, as it take several hours of constant usage to get any meaningful charge. It also takes up such an incredibly annoying section of space in the car. Just a waste of space in every sense. The front bumper of the car is frustratingly low to the ground. Every day I get into work I hear a scrape as I go over the speed bump; no matter the speed. Twice I've had to have minor blemishes buffed just from normal driving usage. The battery: shocker, the car known for it's handy electric battery has tons of issues with maintaining durability. God forbid you park your car in direct sunlight. The two positives that can be noted as compared to other cars: -Toyota did a decent tint job to the windows. -The mileage is of course a bonus.

  • Best Car On The Road!

    A few years back I had a Suburban and hated coming upon hybrids. When the time came for a new car I first was thinking Corolla since it was my first new car decades ago. Then I figured why not a Prius? I have the XLE model that has most anything you could want in a new car. I usually only go 5mph over speed limits but I'm always passing all the cars when going uphill. I get looks from other drivers I pass wondering why I'm passing them in a Prius. Great handling too and so far I've taken it up to 114mph. I could've kept going but there was traffic ahead so it'll wait for another stretch of road. If I ever buy a Ferrari, I'll get a license plate frame that says, "My other car is a Prius"!

  • Great car !

    This car meets all my needs. I especially like the new safety features like parking sensors, automatic parking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure alert, pre-collision system, a rear cross traffic alert and a cruise control which will slow the car down when the vehicle in front of you slows down. Since I have owned it for only a month, I cannot comment on maintenance or repairs.

  • My Second Prius

    Bought this vehicle with commuting in mind. It performs well for that need providing excellent mileage and its feedback has improved my driving quality. Still mastering the Toyota Entune system it has capabilities for many options which I have not tried to date. Overall very satisfied with perfomance, quality, and reliability.

    Amazing comfort for a small car. Plus the storage space is incredible. So many features; back up camera, Blind Spot alert, MP3, CD, USB, Bluetooth, cruise control and so many other features. This is an estate sale.

  • More car than I thought I could afford!

    Drives like a dream, leather interior plus all the bells and whistles. I’m so glad I was able to get the Prius Limited! It’s everything I need and then some.

  • Good car still trying to make the purchase.

    The car has a lot of modern things in it and the salesman did his best to show it to me and explain the options. I hope to finish this deal soon.

  • Lots of new features to love in 2019 Prius

    We have owned a 2007 Prius for 10 years and now have added a 2019 Prius to our garage. I love the new styling and features on our new Prius. The smart cruise feature is superb. The look and feel of the dash is very good and the ride is smooth and responsive. We are still on our first tank of gas, but so far we have gotten about 56mpg. There is a lot of features that I have not learned yet, but I am looking forward to very soon. I am not yet convinced that taking away the spare is a good idea, as I have had to use the spare on my 2007 Prius on several occasions.

  • Defective thermostat

    I have had this car for almost one year. It feels luxurious to drive it. It’s so smooth, strong and sturdy. I love the room. It does not feel cheap to drive it. The parts in the interior, as well as the engine, feel solid. I appreciate the safety features too. However, over the past few months, the power steering light has flashed a few times. When I went in for my 10,000 service, the mechanic discovered that the car’s thermostat was defective. I was not permitted to drive my car until replaced. Good thing I had a warranty. I am disappointed and alarmed that this car had a defective part less than a year owning it.
