Toyota takes wraps off new stylish Prius hybrid with more power and range
Toyota is introducing a newly redesigned Toyota Prius hybrid with more power and greater range.TOKYO — The new Toyota gas-electric Prius hybrid not only comes with more power, acceleration and driving range. It’s also more stylish, scrapping the rather stodgy angular body for a sleekly futuristic look.
The automaker swapped an older nickel-metal-hydride battery for a smaller, lighter lithium-ion battery. The result will be almost double the horsepower, quicker acceleration and 50% longer range. Toyota so far has cumulatively sold over 20.3 million hybrid vehicles around the world, including Prius cars. The Prius, which means “pioneer” or “first” in Latin, has defined Toyota as a brand as much as its Lexus luxury models.
Read said electric vehicles and fuel-cell models were better solutions against climate change than hybrids. “We really believed the next step for Prius was to become a ‘car without compromises’ in order to increase its appeal to the customer,” said Humphries, standing before a screen splashed with the words: “We chose love.”
