The latest generation Prius Hybrid comes to India immediately after its launch in the international market. The Prius is powered by a 1.8 litre gasoline engine which delivers 100 ps which is combined with an electronic motor taking the combined power output to 136 ps.
Aerodynamically designed wheels
The latest generation Prius comes with improved aerodynamics and has a coefficient of drag of only .25cd making it one of the slippiest car around. Other notable improvements include an electric water pump for the engine making it the only production engine that requires no accessory belts improving fuel efficiency and refinement. The batter pack is now smaller and more efficient and so are the other ancillary components like the electric motor and other components of the hybrid powertrain.
The Prius also comes with the latest generation – Toyota Hybrid II, regenerative braking, heads-up display, electronically controlled CVT transmission and push button start system.
Speaking at the Prius launch in India, Mr. Sandeep Singh, DMD-Marketing, said “Through the launch of the Prius, Toyota is keen to demonstrate its commitment to offer the latest eco-friendly automotive technology to its customers in India.”
The new Prius Hybrid is on display at Toyota pavillion at the ongoing Auto Expo in New Delhi.
