Toyota designers created a car that looks sporty as well as aerodynamic, and challenged engineers to create a driving experience to match.
Larry Printz, Tribune News ServiceThe 2022 Toyota Prius has the design presence of an alien life form, with an interior ambiance that never lets you forget that weight is the enemy, as every unnecessary gram has been eliminated. It’s as if the vehicle was engineered of balsa wood and crepe paper.According to the Toyota Prius’ chief engineer, the car was considered little more than a commodity car by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, a car built to a price to minimize CO2 emissions, not maximize thrills.
The result is a vehicle that Toyota management hopes has enough emotional appeal to lure buyers with its design, more powerful driveline and newfound handling finesse. As in the current model, the instrument cluster sits far forward, but it’s no longer centered in the cabin but rather centered in front of the driver. But its placement is not adjustable and can become partially blocked by the top of the steering wheel unless the wheel is tilted all of the way down. The design suggests that Toyota wanted an instrument cluster with the functionality of a head-up display. Elsewhere, the cabin’s ergonomics are spot-on — including its tech package.
When you sit in the pilot’s seat, the first thing that strikes you is the surprising amount of steering feel; it’s far better that the fourth-generation Prius. Nicely weighted and satisfyingly quick, it actually has some road feel, a rarity in modern cars.
