The new Toyota Prius series parallel hybrid vehicle was launched on January 10, 2023.
Toyota has once again set a benchmark in automotive safety with the launch of the new Prius series parallel hybrid vehicle on January 10, 2023. Among the various enhancements and updates, the spotlight is on the pioneering safety features making their debut in this iconic model.
Under the banner of “Hybrid Reborn,” the new Prius not only retains its legacy of exceptional environmental performance but also introduces a trio of advanced safety and driving support systems. These systems, offered as factory-installed options under the Toyota brand, aim to reinforce road safety while enhancing the overall driving experience.
Chief among these innovations is the “Support for Approaching Vehicles in the Vicinity” system, distinguished by its recording and notification functions. This groundbreaking system is designed to mitigate distracted driving, a pressing concern in modern society. When paired with a drive recorder, the system autonomously records critical driving situations and archives them in a dedicated storage area. Moreover, if the vehicle’s display audio system is connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth, an alert prompt appears on the screen in situations of potential trouble, with a one-touch button to dial the emergency number 110, enabling swift communication with the authorities.
The second novel feature, “Rear Vehicle Approach Notification,” employs millimeter-wave radar to detect vehicles approaching from the rear. The driver is promptly alerted either through an interior display or an audible buzzer, providing crucial situational awareness to prevent rear-end collisions.
Unveiling another first for the Toyota brand is the “Secondary Collision Braking” system. Engineered to address rear-end collisions while the vehicle is stationary, this system identifies vehicles approaching from behind, even when the Prius is at a standstill. In such scenarios, the system proactively engages the brakes to prevent or mitigate the impact of a potential collision, subsequently reducing the likelihood of secondary damage.
Enthusiastic early adopters have praised these safety innovations for their thoughtfully designed features that promote secure driving. The automated alert system has been particularly well-received, offering drivers peace of mind and immediate access to emergency assistance. Former police officers, too, commend this function as it aids lone drivers who might be unable to use their phones to report hazardous driving incidents. The rapid connection to authorities during close calls ensures timely interventions and prevents potential accidents from escalating.
While these advancements undoubtedly represent a significant leap forward, it’s crucial to note that proper phone connectivity is essential for optimal functionality. Hands-free reporting via Bluetooth is a requirement for utilizing the emergency calling feature effectively. Additionally, drivers are advised to understand that these safety systems are intended to supplement driving rather than replace human vigilance.
In a world grappling with the growing menace of distracted driving, the new Prius emerges as a game-changer, equipped with cutting-edge features to empower drivers and reinforce road safety. The inclusion of systems such as the rear vehicle approach notification and support for approaching vehicles in the vicinity marks a crucial step in addressing the challenges of distracted driving. With its commitment to innovation and safety, Toyota demonstrates its dedication to curbing the pressing issue of distracted driving and creating safer roads for all.

Mitsubishi Motors introduced the Outlander’s unique technologies, including the eco-friendly Plug-in Hybrid EV (PHEV) system, the “”S-AWC”” integrated vehicle dynamics control system that provides safe, reliable and enjoyable driving, a new platform, the first PHEV from Mitsubishi Motors with three rows of seating for seven people, and advanced safety equipment. Mitsubishi Motors will also introduce its new platform, the first three-row, seven-passenger PHEV packaging, and advanced safety equipment.
Mitsubishi Motors’ exhibits will cover five categories: “”New Generation PHEV System,”” “”Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control System S-AWC,”” “”New Platform,”” “”Packaging,”” and “”Advanced Safety Equipment. At the real exhibition booths, visitors will be able to see actual vehicles and listen to easy-to-understand explanations centered on technical posters and online explainers. At the online exhibition, in addition to explanatory videos of each technology, developers will deliver explanatory videos in which they talk about their thoughts through driving images and data. In addition, a digital PHEV system that can be freely rotated, enlarged, and reduced using 3D data of the PHEV system will be exhibited.
New Generation PHEV System
PHEV components have been renewed to extend the EV cruising range from the previous model and improve EV-like acceleration. The output of the front and rear motors and drive battery has been increased by approximately 40% to expand the EV driving range. The front motor and generator have been optimized in terms of magnet layout and windings, and the latest technology has been introduced, including an oil cooling system with high cooling efficiency. The maximum output was significantly increased from 60kW to 85kW, and the maximum torque from 137Nm to 255Nm.The power drive unit that controls the front motor has a new voltage boosting function that increases the voltage supplied to the front motor, thereby increasing its driving power. The rear motor has a square cross-section coil on the stator side to increase the winding density, and the maximum output has been increased from 70kW to 100kW. The drive battery has been increased to a total capacity of 20kWh, and the equivalent EV driving range (equivalent EV range) is 87km (WLTC mode).
In the transaxle, the strength and durability of the shaft and pinion of the differential gear have been improved in line with the higher output of the motor and engine. In addition, dedicated gears were installed in the power generation path to the generator and in the drive path to the axle to optimize the gear ratio, thereby improving both power generation efficiency and fuel economy. The gasoline tank capacity has also been increased, greatly extending the total cruising range for a combination of EV and hybrid driving.
Integrated Vehicle Dynamics Control System “”S-AWC
The increased motor output expands the control range of front/rear driving force distribution, resulting in greatly improved driving performance in various weather conditions and on various road surfaces. A new brake AYC (Active Yaw Control) function has also been added to the rear wheel side. This enables a smaller braking force per wheel per tire, making it possible for AYC to be more effective on slippery road surfaces. Seven drive modes are available to select vehicle dynamics optimized for various road conditions and driving styles. The mode can be selected using a dial-type mode selector on the floor console.Newly developed platform
