this year and it was welcomed with open arms thanks to its sporty new design and powertrain delivering impressive performance without sacrificing efficiency. CleanTechnica was in attendance at the launch and we were able to hear from Toyota’s experts and drive the new vehicles around for a few hours.
The ability to deliver both power and efficiency highlights Toyota’s true mastery of the hybrid system. It’s possible to deliver maximum efficiency for the majority of driving while still being able to summon the full power of the gas engine and the electric motor when needed, or when you just want a little boost of speed to brighten your afternoon up. Don’t get me wrong – the new Prius isn’t a sports car. But its looks might make you think otherwise.
The new looks will make their way into the plug-in Prius Prime which will make its debut in the spring of 2023. The Prius Prime adds the ability to charge up what is typically a larger onboard battery. The larger power pack enables additional electric-only range at higher speeds, translating to higher total efficiency numbers.
From inside the vehicle, it’s stance feels aggressive and yet wider than expected compared to the previous generations. Small windows to the right and left of the primary windshield offset some of the lost visibility through the windshield, opening up the blind spot that would typically be hidden in the front left and right corners of the vehicle.
The sound of the combustion engine feels very much like previous iterations of the Prius. It is audible when it engages and always pleasant when it disengages, allowing the vehicle to transition back to the electric motors.
