Newbie here from TN. Currently seriously considering purchasing a 2026 LE with only 778 miles on it. Got to get some posts before I can post links.
The Chevy dealer is asking $27,798.+ $599. doc fee + $2033. sales tax + $174.DMV fees and city fees + $100. county hybrid fee = ~$30,604. cash, no finance. We have a high sales tax in TN, the doc, aka, stealership fee is also taxable, and in 2024 they started adding a $200. EV fee and a $100. hybrid fee to help add more charging stations. I have not seen any in TN. These are the options it came with: All Weather Floor Liners/Cargo Liner First Aid Kit Quick Charge Cable Emergency Assistance Kit Body Side Molding Door Edge Guards Rear Bumper Applique Mudguards Premium Paint-Red Front and Rear Parking Assist w/ Automatic Braking
This is the base model LE so it comes with cloth seats, a manual adjust driver's seat, and the screen sticking out of the dash Not liking those.
However, better mileage and less stuff to go wrong. I'm not sure what you mean about the screen. The one in front of the driver? I think they're all the same. The infotainment screen also sticks out, same footprint, but it's larger-fills up the space. I had a recent look at BMW and Audi at a car show. They had panoramic infotainment screens. I put on some nice pleather seat covers. Turned out well.
It's the infotainment screen I was referring to. I like the way the Camry has it integrated into the dash, but I could get use to the Prius screen. My daughter's Mazda CX-30's screen sticks up.
I know what you mean. I don't think it gets in the way. Plus, you could conceivably store something in front of it. . I don't but at least one person here does, I think @Paul Gregory. Gloves maybe. I just took a pic from my viewpoint in the driver's seat:
Quick thoughts: 1. $28400 (before taxes/fees/etc) seems pretty good with only 800 miles on it, considering you're also getting all-weather floor/cargo liners, body molding, door guards, mud guards, etc. 2. "Quick Charge Cable" is that for Apple Carplay/Android? 3. Guessing you're not a tall senior citizen. I am, I have an LE FWD (HEV only), got it for my daughter so I won't be the primary daily user (I'm sort of in a purchasing agent/upfitter facility role ). A 5Gen Prius just wouldn't work for me strictly for ergonomics reasons - driving it is mostly fine for me - except a bit hard to adjust steering wheel to be able to see all of the instrument display w/o my knees interferring with the console/steering wheel. But getting into/out of it is a killer for me due to extreme low roofline and general low ground clearance of a very fuel efficient car.
