TOYOTA PRIUS - THE HYBRID PIONEER REFRESHED

TOYOTA PRIUS - THE HYBRID PIONEER REFRESHED

Date: 2019-04-19

Toyota has refreshed its pioneering Prius with a new sense of style and a simplified design language. With cleaner and more engaging lines, the Toyota hybrid halo five-door hatch features new front and rear treatment as well as sharper, sleeker headlights and rear combination lights.

Inside, the cabin incorporates design tweaks to improve ergonomics as well as changes to the interior trim whilst retaining the luxurious black leather upholstery.

The updated Prius hatch features restyled front and rear bumpers that give it a more dynamic flowing appearance that is further enhanced by its slightly longer (+35mm) overall length. New slimline headlights with bi-beam LEDs and a revised lower intake accentuate the sharper, sleeker aesthetic. A change to LED foglamps unify the front-light signature.

At the rear, new combination LED lights mirror the shape of the headlights by introducing a more horizontal look to emphasise the car's width and low centre of gravity. The updated model is available in two exciting new exterior metallic paint finishes - Fierce Red and Sky Blue metallic. An additional six exterior hues are also on offer.

The Prius uses 15-inch aluminium wheels with a redesigned 10-spoke aerodynamic silver cover with eco-boosting Michelin tyres in 195-65-R15 sizing.

Proven Powertrain

The current generation of Prius was launched in early 2016 and was the first model in the Toyota range to feature the Toyota New Generation Architecture (TNGA) platform series (GA-C), delivering agile and responsive driving dynamics and superb ride comfort.

The new platform perfectly complemented the latest generation petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain combining a 1.8-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with two motor generators to provide the optimum balance of performance and fuel efficiency depending on driving behaviour and road conditions. The total system output is quoted as 100kW. Fuel consumption for the combined cycle is specified as 3.7 litres per 100 km, with CO2 emissions listed as 87 g/km whilst complying with Euro 6 emissions specification.

Peace of Mind.
