Toyota’s designers created a car that looked sporty as well as aerodynamic, with a driving experience that matched the new car’s looks.

But that’s all changed for 2023, as the car’s mission has changed within the Toyota lineup. No longer a unique offering, as most Toyota models offer a hybrid variant, Toyota’s designers created a car that looked sporty as well as aerodynamic, and challenged engineers to create a driving experience that matched the new car’s looks. The result is a vehicle that Toyota management hopes has enough emotional appeal to lure buyers with its design, more powerful driveline and newfound handling finesse.
That change is very apparent when you climb inside, as there’s less headroom than before, although the front seats are wide and comfortable with a commanding driving position. Front seat space is ample, but rear seat legroom depends on the generosity of front seat passengers. Clearly, design took some precedent over practicality. That said, cargo space is still a generous 20.3 cubic feet.
Also unknown? High mileage wasn’t the designers’ first priority; design and driving experience were. In fact, its aerodynamic efficiency has declined somewhat. But fuel economy is still as high as 57 mpg, the best of any hybrid.
