So far, only the fuel-economy data is available—not sure if the numbers for 2023, which are likely for the mid-trims, are final. The fuel-economy drop in Gen 5 is roughly 5%, which is about a $75 higher annual cost to average driver in California or 5% increase in CO₂ emissions.

2023 Prius: 49 mpg
2022 Prius: 52 mpg

2023 Prius Prime: 48 mpg
2022 Prius Prime: 50 mpg

Unfortunately, Gen 5 suffered from the Trump fuel-economy rollback, and Biden's reversal did not come in time for the Gen 5 redesign; so, we are stuck with a Prius redesign with mediocre fuel economy for the next six years.

At over 3000 miles on my '23 LE AWD, I am averaging 54-55 mpg. Mediocre? Really?
