![]() ![]() At the same time, the overall length has been decreased with 46 mm, to 4 599 mm.Īt 22 mm wider than its predecessor, the Prius’ stance is dynamic and, on its front, a hammerhead motif elegantly integrates lights which accentuate the distinctive form. ![]() The distinctive shape is enhanced by 50 mm longer wheelbase, compared to the previous generation. Unnecessary forms and lines were discarded, leaving a simple and clean overall design inspired by the natural flow of air. ![]() A smooth, sleek silhouette has been crafted by lowering the overall height by 50 mm, moving the roof peak rearwards and adopting larger diameter tyres, up to 19 inches. The iconic wedge shape, a Prius original since the second generation, has evolved, embracing elegant modern lines. The solar roof can generate 8 kilometres of EV range every day – or charge the battery completely full if parked for several days. In the quest for maximum efficiency, clean energy can also be generated optionally** by solar cells on the roof. Higher energy density cells allow for optimised packaging of the battery pack, now compact enough to be installed under the rear passenger seat, lowering the centre of gravity. With a target of allowing most daily driving to be undertaken in EV mode, EV range is 69 kilometres* thanks to a new 13.6kWh lithium-ion battery. Compared to the current generation’s 122 DIN hp (90kW) in Plug-in Hybrid configuration, the increased power ensures strong and responsive acceleration. The TNGA 2.0l engine produces 152 DIN hp (112kW*) and combines with a new 163 DIN hp (120kW*) transaxle front motor for a total system output of 223 DIN hp (164kW*). It is built on the second-generation GA-C platform of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), which reduces weight and increases rigidity for a captivating driving experience and serene ride.Ī new fifth generation hybrid system achieves an all-round evolution of the driving experience on the plug-in Prius, providing more power and greater efficiency. The Prius’ famously distinctive styling is taken to a new, more dynamic level by a coupe-like silhouette, immediately catching the eye and evoking a strong emotional response. That makes the Prius truly a car with a dual DNA: an EV range long enough to allow fully electrified daily driving on most journeys, combined with the flexibility and convenience an extremely efficient hybrid for longer distances.Īny journey, whether a short urban route or longer road trip, is sure to engage the senses thanks to a more powerful motor generator and two-litre engine engage with a combined 223 DIN hp (164kW) for strong and responsive acceleration. ![]() It introduces Toyota’s new generation Plug-in Hybrid system, an all-round evolution with enhanced output via an increased high-capacity battery and an ultra-low combined WLTP CO 2 emissions rating of 19 g/km* (subject to homologation), the lowest ever for a Prius. The new Plug-in Prius strengthens Toyota’s multi-technology line-up, which also includes battery electric (BEV) and fuel cell electric (FCEV) solutions, by delivering increased efficiency and accessible carbon reduction.Īs a path-finder for new technologies, the Prius has always inspired the future of other models and the latest generation continues that pioneering spirit. Toyota is committed to carbon neutrality, and the Hybrid technology originally pioneered by the Prius continues to contribute significantly to the transition towards zero emissions. The new generation, which will be available exclusively as a Plug-in Hybrid in Europe, takes the next step in that journey. Since its launch in 1997, the Prius has made a lasting impact on Toyota and the world, establishing itself as an authentic automotive icon by emphasising electrification and fearlessly setting future trends. The eye-catching fifth-generation Toyota Prius writes the next chapter in a pioneering story of engineering innovation and dynamic design, maintaining its proud tradition of challenging convention. ![]()
