The Prius was launched in 1997 with the catchphrase “”Just in time for the 21st century. the Prius was born in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car.
The second generation model was the first to adopt the “”monoform silhouette”” that has come to define the Prius, and it achieved even better fuel economy with its advanced series-parallel hybrid system (THS II). The third-generation Prius has not only improved fuel economy, but also enhanced driving performance.
The current 4th generation Prius is the first to adopt the TNGA platform, which has further improved environmental performance and evolved driving performance.
The cumulative global sales volume of the successive generations of the Prius series to date has reached approximately 5.05 million units, and as of March 2022, the amount of CO2 emissions reduced will be equivalent to more than 82 million tons.
In 2022, 25 years after its birth, the new Prius, the fifth generation of the series, was finally unveiled.
Toyota says that the new Prius was developed with the aim of creating a car that combines its strengths of high environmental performance 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 exterior inherits the iconic “”monoform silhouette”” of the Prius, but has evolved to more stylish proportions with a lower center of gravity based on the second-generation TNGA platform and large 19-inch tires.
The simple yet intricate body shape expresses “”emotions that resonate with the senses”” and “”universal beauty”” to be loved for a long time.
The front design, based on the hammerhead motif, combines functionality and design at a high level, while the rear design, with its thin, single-character rear combination lamps, further enhances the Prius’ advanced features.
Body dimensions are 4600 mm (+25 mm) in length, 1780 mm (+20 mm) in width, and 1430 mm (-40 mm) in height, with a wheelbase of 2750 mm (+50 mm) [figures in parentheses compare to the previous generation].
A total of eight body colors will be available, including two newly developed solid color-based colors, “”Ash”” and “”Mustard,”” which give a sporty impression.
The interior, based on the “”Island Architecture”” concept, provides both a spacious and comfortable cockpit feel that allows the driver to concentrate on driving. The interior space is designed for intuitive operation and enjoyable driving.
The interior color is based on black, with coordinated decorations for the instrument panel and seat stitching. The interior color is based on black, and the instrument panel and seat stitching are coordinated to achieve both a sporty and new sense of quality.
The instrument panel is equipped with Toyota’s first “”illumination notification system”” that alerts the driver with a flashing illumination when an object is detected, before an alarm sounds. In addition to decorating the interior as an ambient light, the design incorporates a new feature that works in conjunction with Toyota Safety Sense.
In addition, an accessory power outlet (100 VAC, 1500 W) is installed at two locations: at the rear end of the center console and in the luggage compartment. The driver can select either “”EV power supply mode,”” in which power is supplied by the battery alone without starting the engine, or “”HV power supply mode,”” in which power is generated by the engine when the battery level is low. An external power supply attachment is provided as standard equipment to prevent the intrusion of insects and other contaminants into the interior during power supply and rainwater in the event of rain, enabling external power supply with the door glass closed.
World premiere of the new Toyota Prius! What has evolved in the “”sporty”” 5th generation?Three types of powertrains
Three types of powertrains are available: 1.8-liter engine or 2.0-liter engine + hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), and 2.0-liter engine + plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).Toyota’s new Prius (2.0-liter PHEV prototype)
The HEV model, which combines a 1.8-liter engine or 2.0-liter engine and a hybrid system, uses the latest system. While achieving fuel economy equivalent to the conventional model, the HEV delivers heart-pounding acceleration and a responsive driving experience that responds exactly as the driver wants it to.
The maximum system output of the 2.0-liter HEV model is 193 hp, 1.6 times that of the previous model, ensuring dynamic performance befitting the sporty reborn Prius.
In addition, the latest E-Four (4WD) is available. The adoption of a high-output motor and other measures have further improved hill climbing performance on low-mileage roads, including snow-covered roads, as well as stability when turning.
The PHEV model with 2.0-liter engine + plug-in hybrid system is the first Toyota model to adopt a 2.0-liter plug-in hybrid system that delivers significantly better acceleration performance and quieter operation than the previous model.
The combination of the highly efficient Dynamic Force engine and the high-output lithium-ion battery for drive achieves a maximum system output of 223 PS horsepower and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6.7 seconds.
EV driving range is improved by more than 50% compared to the conventional model. The battery performance has been improved so that the car can cover most of its daily needs with EV driving alone. In addition, when the power switch is turned on during charging, a “”mileage mode”” is set to enable use of the air conditioner and audio system using power from an external power source, making the cabin as comfortable as if it were another room in the car.
In addition, the battery pack, which was previously located in the luggage section, is now mounted under the rear seat, resulting in a lower center of gravity and increased luggage space. The new Prius combines sporty driving with improved convenience.
For the platform, a second-generation TNGA platform has been developed and adopted with improvements to realize the emotional design and driving performance of the new Prius, resulting in a lower center of gravity and larger-diameter tires.
In addition, the body has been reinforced in various parts for greater rigidity and quieter operation. The improved suspension (front: MacPherson strut type/rear: double wishbone type) provides a sturdier vehicle in a straight line and more responsive and easier line tracing in corners in response to the driver’s intention. Combined with the latest powertrain, the vehicle offers captivating athletic performance.
The latest Toyota Safety Sense preventive safety package, which adds advanced functions and enhanced features to the advanced safety and driving support system, is standard equipment. The Advanced Park (with remote function) advanced driving support system is also available. In addition, a dedicated smartphone application can be used from outside the car to park and exit the car remotely.

The new Prius will also feature a “”panoramic moonroof”” that extends the opening width to the limit and brings a sense of openness to the interior. The PHEV is also available with a second-generation “”solar charging system”” that converts sunlight into electricity more efficiently and can generate the equivalent of approximately 1,250 km of driving range in one year.
In addition, an on-board drive recorder is available, utilizing the monocular camera of the Toyota Safety Sense system for the front and the rear camera of the electronic inner mirror for the rear. In addition to the clean look and feel of the cameras and wiring, the data is stored in the ECU, avoiding problems such as data corruption that can easily occur with SD cards, and securely storing important captured data.
The new Prius model is scheduled to be launched globally in the future, starting with Japan and gradually expanding to North America and Europe. The HEV and PHEV models are scheduled to go on sale this winter and spring of 2023, respectively.
The price of the new Prius has not been announced at this time.
In Japan, the new Prius will also be handled by the car subscription service “”KINTO,”” but details of the specific plan will be announced this winter.

“From “”Corolla”” to “”Harrier””, “”Change? What is the “”Full Color Liquid Crystal Display”” that Toyota’s latest cars are adopting all at once?
Full-face LCD color meters are now available in four different tastes and three different layouts
Toyota has successively upgraded its major models: the Harrier on September 26, 2022, the Corolla on October 3, 2022, and the RAV4 on October 4, 2022. One of the new features common to all models is the “”meter.
This section introduces the “”color LCD panel”” that has replaced the “”analog meter”” that used needles in the past.Image: Design changes can be made “”at will! Photos of the “”color meters”” used in the new Harrier and other models (42 photos)
Two examples of the “”12.3-inch TFT Color Meter + Multi-information Display”” newly adopted in Toyota’s new Harrier and other models
The current Harrier, a popular luxury SUV, will be in its fourth generation when it is introduced in 2020.
The major news from the first partial improvement in two years is the addition of the Harrier PHEV, a new lineup equipped with a plug-in hybrid system, in addition to improved safety features.
The Corolla, Toyota’s leading mass-market car brand, was fully remodeled in June 2018, with the hatchback preceding it. The sedan and station wagon (Corolla Touring) are next, with the new model coming in September 2019.
This is the first major facelift in the three to four years since its debut, including changes to the powertrain lineup and the introduction of a new 1.5-liter engine.
The RAV4 underwent a full model change in April 2019, and the timing of the partial upgrade comes three and a half years after its full model change.
The RAV4 PHV plug-in hybrid vehicle, which had been an independent model, has been integrated to become a part of the RAV4 lineup, and the special edition Adventure “”OFFROAD package II The “”Adventure “”OFFROAD package II”””” is a special edition model with a greatly enhanced off-road image on the exterior.
A common improvement among the three models is the new 12.3-inch TFT color meter and multi-information display.
This upgrade from the conventional analog meter that uses the rotating needle as an indicator has resulted in a color LCD display over the entire surface of the meter, giving the impression of a more advanced image.
The panel design has four tastes: Casual, Smart, Tough, and Sporty, and three layouts are available, allowing the user to change the display to suit his or her preference.
The multi-information display, which consolidates information in the center of the meter, has been modified to display three types of information: left, center, and right, so that multiple information can be displayed at the same time.
According to Toyota’s official website, the basic layout is the same for all three models, but only the high-end Harrier model has a “”satin-plated meter ring”” around the meter that displays speed and other information to enhance the design.
It will be interesting to see if the 12.3-inch TFT color meter will be expanded to other models in the future.

In addition to the 12.3-inch TFT color meters, another improvement common to the three popular models is the improvement of the display audio system compatible with the connected navigation system.
The display audio system incorporates a large screen display and functions that are linked to smartphones and connected functions, and a navigation system can be added as an option.
Toyota first offered this feature when the current Corolla was introduced, and it has since been rolled out to various models.
The new Harrier has the same large 12.3-inch display as before some improvements, but with improved specifications.
In addition to the 8-inch display audio, the new Corolla has a new 10.5-inch Display Audio Plus (with in-car navigation function). This is larger than the previous maximum 9-inch display.
And the new RAV4 has likewise been expanded from the conventional maximum 9-inch display audio (additionally available at the time of partial improvement in 2020) to a larger 10.5-inch display.
