Well there is a lot we don't know about the 2023 Prius - like price and interior volume.
Size:
Considering the 2022 Prius has the exact same interior volume as a Chevy Bolt and the 2023 Prius is 2 inches shorter I would expect the Bolt to be larger. I would also expect the interior room to be more usable as the cargo area is more square than the heavily sloped hatch on the Prius.
Price:
The 2022 Prius Prime is $2K more than a 2022 Bolt. I expect the price will go up for the 2023. The Bolt will get at least 1/2 the tax credit while the Prius won't get anything.
Fuel and running costs will be less for the Bolt
The Bolt is quicker than the Prius
Basically if you can deal with the range of the Bolt it is cheaper to buy, cheaper to own, larger, and quicker than a Prius.
