The fifth generation of Prius is distinguished by its extraordinary design and its new exclusively plug-in hybrid engine of 223 hp. The new Prius combines high-level performance with record efficiency: 69 km of 100% electric range and CO2 emissions2 reduced to 19 g/km.
The fifth generation Toyota Prius writes a new chapter in the history of a pioneer of technical innovation and design, continuing its tradition of shaking up habits.
The Prius has had a lasting impact on Toyota and the automotive world since its launch in 1997, becoming a true symbol of electrification and boldly defining future trends. The new generation, which will be available exclusively with a plug-in hybrid engine in Europe, continues in this direction.
Toyota is committed to carbon neutrality, and the hybrid technology pioneered by the first Prius continues to make a significant contribution to the transition to zero emissions. The new Prius plug-in hybrid bolsters Toyota’s multi-technology lineup, which also includes all-electric (BEV) and fuel cell (FCEV) models, delivering increased efficiency and making reducing emissions ever more accessible. carbon.
The new Prius carries on the pioneering spirit of technology from previous generations, which has been a source of inspiration for so many other Toyota models. The Prius 5 receives the new generation of the Toyota rechargeable hybrid system, a complete evolution with increased power thanks to a larger capacity battery. This development allows CO emissions2 of just 19g/km* (WLTP combined cycle), the lowest in Prius history.
These elements give the Prius a dual personality: its electric range is long enough to allow 100% electric driving on a daily basis, and its particularly efficient hybrid system gives it the flexibility needed to cover long distances with confidence.
The more powerful electric motor-generator and 2-litre petrol engine will excite drivers with a combined output of 223 hp (164 kW) enabling dynamic acceleration, whether on short urban journeys or on long journeys.
The distinctive style of the Prius is energized with a coupé silhouette, which catches the eye and leaves no one indifferent. This new generation is built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) second-generation GA-C platform, which is light and stiff at the same time, which offers a pleasant and serene driving experience.
The Toyota Prius 5 will be marketed in Europe in mid-2023.
