New Frontiers For Toyota Prius.
Toyota has advanced the pioneering status of its iconic Prius hybrid car by revealing a fourth-generation model that debuts a futuristic design, fun-to-drive dynamics and an impressive gain to fuel economy.
A new, stiffer platform – the first developed under Toyota’s New Generation Architecture (TNGA) program – is at the heart of revolutionary improvements that support a more responsive driving experience and enhanced occupant protection.
In keeping with the Prius name which means “front runner”, the new-generation car continues to build on its eco-car DNA with technical breakthroughs including the world’s most thermally efficient petrol engine at 40 per cent.
The new Prius also focuses on a more responsive drive experience achieved through a lower centre of gravity, newly developed double-wishbone rear suspension and a more rigid body.
The new Prius interior also embraces Toyota’s concept of “Iconic Human-tech” with a strong presence that adopts advanced technology complemented by features that are functional, fun and have high visual impact.
The next-generation Prius will make available a package of electronic safety assistance aids including a pre-collision system, lane departure alert, automatic high beam and active cruise control.
