What We Think

In a 2016 First Drive, we said that the redesigned Prius is a better driving car, featuring an improved ride and a quiet cabin, The new platform also contributed to the improvement in the car's handling, making it feel livelier than its predecessor. Interior fit and finish is also much improved with high-quality materials used throughout the cabin. However, the aggressive exterior styling, as we noted in a 2016 First Test, makes the interior feel tighter and hurts outward visibility.
