Beyond idle curiosity I don't see the fuel economy of the new Prius actually matters. Yes, it will be interesting the tricks used to get there but going from 55 mpg to 60 mpg is going to save someone driving the average 14250 miles per year less than 1 gallon of fuel per week.
If they can somehow get their combined epa mpg in the low 60s or even mid 60s, I will be very interested in getting rid of my Ioniq for the new Prius and eco mod it the instant I get it. Since Toyota tends to do better than sticker mpg while Hyundais tend to do worse for some reason.
