Toyota’s technological ambassador, the Prius, showcases the manufacturer’s latest thinking, alongside new technology that improve efficiency, safety and performance. The fourth generation of the pioneering hybrid car is more stylish and dynamic than ever.

Building on the achievements of previous generations, the new Prius is primed to set higher standards of emissions and fuel efficiency in the hybrid sector. Design changes to the engine have achieved more than 40 percent thermal efficiency, which is the best performance in the world for a petrol unit. The new battery is more compact and durable with improved charging times increasing the car’s ease of use.

The complete hybrid powertrain has undergone extensive development to sharpen performance. What’s more, acceleration is smoother and more responsive and Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) endows the car with a lower centre of gravity for more athletic handling.

TNGA has also given designers more freedom to create an athletic silhouette and more dynamic lines. The interior has extra space, while the new battery is denser and takes up less boot space. Comfort and refinement are the focus of the interior, with an improved driving position and high-quality materials dotted throughout.

Safety remains a priority in the new Prius and long journeys are made less fatiguing by radar-managed cruise control. On top of this, the pre-crash safety system now includes a pedestrian detection function to help avoid collisions and ensure your peace of mind.
