First Gen 5 2023 Toyota Prius cars show up at the dealers!

Parents were down to one car, and decided to pick up something used for a second car. My father tried a Miata, and liked it, but had to crawl out of it, and then stand up.

 

Lol

Before getting my 2nd Gen Prius, I used to drive a 96 Integra LS (w/moonroof), back in my single (and newlywed) days… that was a considerably lower car with less headroom, and at 6’2” I did fit… barely. Lol. Let’s say my hair was real close to the roof, but I loved that car.

 

May I ask….since there’s a manual seat adjustment on the passenger side…is there a manual height adjustment lever on that side? Can you raise the passenger seat up? Thx!

 

Sorry I don’t remember! When trying to find the power buttons for the seat and was disappointed it’s manual then not paying attention about anything esle. Again, I’m short so it’s fine to me.

And it’s my daughter’s car so if nobody can answer I can call her to check. Or may be tell her to come over so I can enjoy driving it one more time.

 

Thx so much….a call to the daughter would be appreciated. When the passenger seat is manually operated, many can go the entire length of ownership without realizing that it’s possible to be much more comfy by using the ratchet control to raise it up a bit. I’m hoping this is standard on the ‘23 Prius! Thank you.

 

FWIW, on our '10 only the driver's seat is height adjustable; front passenger seat height is fixed. This was kind of handy, comparing head room on models with/without sunroof.

 

The above video at 3:33 should give you the answer to your question.

 

Yup! Thx so much….I think that this is the first Prius with a height adjustable passenger seat! That suits me fine.

 

Pent up demand. The real measure of success is if the gen5 can outsell the gen4 over multiple years.

 

Not unexpected. The question is, will Toyota ever make enough to satisfy demand

 

That won’t be hard at all, if you look at the sales numbers for Gen 4 they were quite bad, it’s why Toyota HAD to go so sexy if they were going to keep them the brand alive.
Gen 4 only really became a hot seller after that period when Gas prices went sky high. Before that the used prices were pretttty bad.

 

I didn't need or want gen 4, when first saw Prius and Prime I can't stand their back lights designs.

 

You get used t it after a while. Besides, as the driver you hardly ever see the tail lights in action.

 

firesale!

 

I created an account just to ask you how you discovered this info. I am currently on their waitlist and the sales rep is not responding to me. I think I am #700+ on the list.
