Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2023 Prius AWD-e.
The 2023 Toyota Prius AWD-e, paired with an automatic transmission utilizing variable gear ratios, delivers an EPA-rated 57/56/57 mpg. However, this model year occupies a less stable position in the vehicle's reliability history, marked by 18 owner complaints predominantly spanning the electrical system and latches, locks, and linkages. Together with four recalls, these figures indicate that this iteration carries specific reliability concerns that researchers must weigh carefully when assessing its long-term viability.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Owner complaints about the 2023 Toyota Prius AWD-e top in one area — the electrical system,latches/locks/linkages, 3 of 18 reports (17%), well ahead of the next concern. That matters, because the electrical system,latches/locks/linkages are also the target of recall 24V-274 on this vehicle — so the single most useful check before buying or servicing one is confirming it was actually performed. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the electrical system,latches/locks/linkages pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
