The Toyota Prius, the world’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle and a leader in eco-cars, has been completely revamped, and the new fifth-generation model will be unveiled in November 2022.In addition to its sharp exterior design and high-quality interior, the new Prius delivers a pleasing ride thanks to its new-generation hybrid system and second-generation TNGA platform.
Under the concept of “”Hybrid Reborn,”” the Prius has evolved into an emotional Prius with a design that makes you fall in love at first sight and a driving experience that makes you fall in love with it. The badge that identifies the hybrid vehicle has also been redesigned.What is the new hybrid badge that will be adopted from the new Prius? In pictures!
The new Toyota Prius with the new hybrid badge
For 25 years since its birth in 1997, the Prius has continued to lead the spread of hybrid vehicles as a new generation of eco-car with excellent fuel economy. Cumulative global sales have reached approximately 5.05 million units, and as of March 2022, the amount of CO2 emissions reduced is equivalent to more than 82 million tons.
Starting with the Prius, hybrid systems are now installed in almost all Toyota vehicles, from compact cars to SUVs, minivans, and commercial vehicles.
With the spread of various hybrid vehicles, the Prius has reached a milestone in its role as the “”driving force of hybrids,”” and we have been thinking about “”what the Prius should be to continue to be loved by users for the next 25 years,”” and have decided to reborn the Prius itself to make it even more attractive as a hybrid vehicle. Hybrid Reborn is a concept that was created with the hope that the Prius itself will be reborn and the appeal of hybrids will become more widely known.
Toyota’s hybrid vehicles, including the Prius, wear an exclusive “”HYBRID SYNERGY DRIVE”” silver badge with a blue line, but this badge has been discontinued for the new Prius, and a new badge has been adopted.
The newly designed badge is a blue circle with a silver border and the words “”HEV”” and is only worn on the rear.
The blue circle is a symbol of Toyota’s “”BEYONE ZERO”” (value beyond zero), and the use of HEV, the initials of Hybrid Electric Vehicle, is meant to emphasize the “”electric vehicle”” concept. Plug-in hybrid vehicles are represented by the letters “”PHEV.
The Prius, the pioneer of hybrid vehicles, will wear the new hybrid badge on the occasion of its complete renewal, which can be said to be a statement of Toyota’s intention to promote its reborn hybrid vehicles.
The new Prius will be available in 1.8-liter and 2-liter hybrid versions, as well as a 2-liter plug-in hybrid version.
Dynamic performance has been improved over the previous model. The maximum system output is 140 hp for the 1.8-liter hybrid and 196 hp for the 2-liter hybrid, making them even sportier.
The 2-liter hybrid accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, which is equivalent to the acceleration performance of a sports car.

Nissan posts next-generation “Skyline GT-R”! Should “R36 type” pay homage to the past? Astonished by the model rendering that is a hot topic on SNS! what kind of design
“Nissan posts the next-generation “”Skyline GT-R””! Should the “”R36 type”” pay homage to the past? Astonished by the model renderings that are all over the social networking sites! What kind of design is it?
Wouldn’t it be nice to have an upcoming “”GT-R”” like this one?
The Nissan “”GT-R (R35),”” introduced in 2007, is the company’s proud sports car that succeeded the Nissan “”Skyline GT-R.
However, since 15 years have passed since its appearance, many people are asking, “”When will the next model be released? Will there be a next model? and “”When will the next model come out?
In the meantime, a rendering of the next-generation “”Skyline GT-R (R36)”” has been posted on social networking sites, and it has become a major topic of conversation.Could this be the next-generation “”GT-R””? Homage to the second generation! Look at the R36 design!
R32 + R33 + R34 + R35 = Birth of the R36! Predicted rendering of the next-generation “”Skyline GT-R”” is hot! (Photo Thanks: Avante Design & Roman Miah)
The “”GT-R,”” once a high-performance grade of the Skyline series, has existed as a coveted model and as the leader of Nissan’s image.
The history continues with the first generation “”Hakosuka”” and “”Kemmeri,”” the second generation “”R32,”” “”R33,”” and “”R34,”” and the third generation is the aforementioned GT-R (R35).
The first model, the Skyline GT-R, was set in the third generation (Hakoska) in 1969. This was followed by the second generation model based on the Kenmeri in 1973.
After a long time, the 3rd generation (R32) appeared in August 1989, the 4th generation (R33) in January 1995, and the 5th generation (R34) in January 1999, and these three models are called the second generation.
And the sixth generation (R35), which was introduced in 2007, is still the current model as of 2022, and continues to evolve every year.
In 2022, the latest model (2022 model) was released, but orders were closed because the number of orders quickly reached the planned sales volume.
On the other hand, on social networking sites, there were various rumors such as, “”Will the 2022 model be the last GT-R? The next GT-R will have to be electric?
The rendering posted on SNS was created by Avante Design and Roman Miah.
At the time of posting, Roman Miah commented as follows
The idea behind this concept is to showcase a vision of the 2023 Nissan *R36* Skyline GT-R, a car that will be the first of its kind in the world.
The idea behind this concept was to recreate the iconic Skyline design cues and arguably Japanese styling of the past with the future of the GT-R in mind.
Working with Avante Design, we developed the concept which involved over 6 months of work and at least several hundred hours of design, development and 3D modeling. Hope you like it!””
Looking at the multiple images posted, the body itself is based on the R35, but the front face is somewhat reminiscent of the R34.
In contrast, the rear design is reminiscent of the R33 with its angular body shape, although it uses different large round tail lamps like the R34.
In response to this post, international users commented, “”Great,”” “”It’s a good idea to lead the old look to the new model,”” and “”Oh my God! I would 100% buy one if it looked like this.”” “”I want to install this R36 body kit on my R35! There were many praises for this kit.
The R36 has also become a hot topic on Japanese social networking sites, with comments such as, “”It’s so cool. The front is 34, but the rear is 35.”” “”The face is 34 ass 33, but the whole body is 35, so in a way, I think it’s the right blend of old generation elements as a successor,”” etc.

In reality, Nissan has not made any official announcement regarding the next generation GT-R, but since the “”Fairlady Z”” has undergone a full model change to the 7th generation model, the “”GT-R”” brand, which also represents Nissan, is expected to be succeeded in some form.”
