    Hello, I see tons of walkaround and first drive videos for the 2023, but it's always in the top trims. Searching with LE in quotes still brings up the top trims. Does anyone know of a video showing the LE?

    Thanks!

    AFAIK, there were no LEs at the media event.

    @Terrell found this video from Toyota:



    At 1:33 there's a brief still side view of the LE.

    The voiceover says those are the 17" wheels, at any rate.

    the configurator is live on Toyota's website
    for anyone who's interest to see more of the LE.
    What's nice is they also included a CAT shield as an accessory...

    The video shows the 19" rims.

    This isn't the best photo (screen capped off toyota.com) but this is the 17" wheels with aero wheel covers

    Definitely the blackā€”but the sun makes it look a bit lighter in some shots.

    For me, for the 2023 Prius Hybrid looks, the best looking one is Silver exterior, with the black seats.
    Imho, Silver goes best with the front grill and rear bumper.
    I'm not a fan of contrasting seats. Imho, it often looks like some junkyard throw together.

    Some people don't care about looks. That is their choice.
    For most people, a new car is the second, or first most expensive purchase they will make.
    If that is the case, then they should hopefully be able to get some they think looks nice.

    Imagine how semi-depressing it is to spend $300K-$600K for a condo in NYC, that is 12x8 total (one room), is on the 5th floor - with no elevator, is in a building that is over 100 years old - never updated, and has a shared bathroom. Yea, likely a great investment. But, still depressing.



    For the Plug-in, I'll need to see good quality videos, and the different color options, before I could tell which body color looks best.

    That's the "Cutting Edge Gray" exterior color. That's not the "Guardian Gray" exterior color.

    I agree about the interior! :)
    Imho, it looks much more "classy/upscale", verses the (imho) semi-ricer red upper bolster front seat accents in the 2023 plug-in interior.

    I like the gray seats on their own, but the lack of color integration kills it for me. Carpet, floor mats, center console arm rest, door cards. I agree with prius16 that the gray interior looks like a junkyard throw together. Like if I decided I liked black seats for my 2010 with gray interior and just swapped the seats but nothing else. With better integration, I would definitely take the gray over the black, but as it is...

    I understand why Toyota did it(costs/supply chain/production), and I don't fault them for it, but the gray is sadly not for me.

    So this shows push button start. Has anyone confirmed if the LE has push button start?

    The US base trims do not have a smart key.
