    Toyota’s new “Prius” has “SUV specifications

    Toyota’s new “Prius” has “SUV specifications”? Lifted up and off-road tires make it look tougher than ever! The CG of the designer’s mark is amazing!

    Wild and Tough! The “SUV” Prius!
     The new Toyota Prius made its world premiere on November 16, 2022.
     
     The fifth-generation Prius has been reborn with a sporty look, and Indian designer SRK Designs has created a rendering (image CG) of the “”Toyota Prius Hybrid Adventure Edition,”” an SUV version of the new Prius, and posted it on social networking sites. The designers have posted their renderings on social networking sites.

    Tough as nails! Rendering of the new Toyota Prius converted to SUV specifications

    Rendering of the Toyota Prius Hybrid Adventure Edition, an SUV version of the new Toyota Prius

     The Prius was introduced to the world in 1997 with the tagline, “”Just in time for the 21st century.”” the Prius was born in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid car. Four generations of Prius have been sold to date, with a cumulative global sales volume of approximately 5.05 million units.

     In 2022, 25 years after its birth, the fifth generation of the new Prius will be launched. In addition to its strong points of high environmental performance, the new Prius has been developed to combine “”a design that makes you fall in love at first sight”” and “”a driving experience that makes you fall in love with it.

     The body size is 4600 mm (overall length) x 1780 mm (overall width) x 1430 mm (overall height), and the wheelbase is 2750 mm, slightly larger than the previous generation model.

     The exterior inherits the iconic “”mono-form silhouette”” of the Prius, but has evolved to sportier and more stylish proportions thanks to a lower center of gravity based on the second-generation TNGA platform and the adoption of large 19-inch tires.

     Three types of powertrains are available: a 1.8-liter engine, a 2.0-liter engine plus hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), or a 2.0-liter engine plus plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).

     The HEV and PHEV models are scheduled to go on sale this winter and spring 2023, respectively.

     SRK Designs has released a rendering of the Toyota Prius Hybrid Adventure Edition, an SUV version of the new Prius.

     The Adventure Edition is a lifted version of the new Prius with a much tougher image.

    The body color is a green camouflage pattern. Resin parts are placed on the lower part of the body, as is typical of SUVs, and the grille under the bumper is fitted with extruded parts.

     The hood and roof have been changed to black for a tighter look.

     In addition, a roof box has been installed, and thick all-terrain tires have been mounted on small-diameter wheels to give the vehicle a tougher look that is suitable for outdoor activities.

     SRK Designs creates renderings of all kinds of “what if” vehicles that do not yet exist in reality, such as a station wagon version of the Toyota Avalon TRD and a Dubai Police version of the EQG, and posts them on their social networking sites.

     The renderings created by SRK Designs are, of course, unauthorized and delusional designs, but there are real-life examples of Toyota Prius customized to “SUV specifications” such as a lift-up, and the possibility of such a car one day being realized cannot be completely ruled out. We cannot completely deny the possibility that such a vehicle may someday become a reality.

    The C-HR has an interesting history, stemming from the original “TOYOTA C-HR Concept” unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 2014. It was later introduced in December 2016 as a “coupe-style compact SUV,” boasting a design closely resembling the initial concept model. It quickly gained popularity in Japan and became a sought-after choice among SUV enthusiasts. However, the first-generation C-HR’s journey in Japan is coming to an end, with production and sales scheduled to conclude in late July 2023. As for the second-generation “new C-HR,” currently announced and exhibited overseas, including in Germany, details about its availability in Japan remain uncertain, and it is expected to be an exclusive overseas model.

    The world will get its first look at the new C-HR in Europe on June 26, 2023. The compact SUV boasts a body size of 4,360 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width, and stands at 1,558-1,564 mm in height, making it notably compact for an SUV. The exterior design is inspired by the “C-HR Prologue” concept car released in December 2022, presenting a bold and daring appearance that Toyota describes as a “concept car that can be driven on public roads.”

    Moving inside the vehicle, the interior features a sporty and sophisticated finish with a high-quality feel. An exciting addition is the ambient lighting system, which not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but also serves as a safety feature. The ambient light can be selected from a palette of up to 64 colors and can be programmed to change hue with the passage of time, creating a seamless transition from bright daytime colors to soothing evening tones.

    The European market, including Germany, will have access to a variety of powertrain options. The German model will offer a hybrid (FF only) with a 1.8-liter engine and an electric motor, delivering a maximum system output of approximately 140 horsepower. Additionally, there will be a 2-liter engine paired with two motors in the front and rear, providing a maximum system output of approximately 197 horsepower. The lineup includes two hybrid types (FF and AWD) and a plug-in hybrid model with a 2-liter engine.

    To cater to various preferences, the new C-HR will be available in three different grades: “Team Deutschland,” “Lounge Premiere,” and “GR SPORT Premiere.” “Team Deutschland” will feature both the 140hp hybrid and the 197hp hybrid, “Lounge Premiere” will exclusively offer the 197hp hybrid, while “GR SPORT Premiere” will introduce the PHEV model.

    Buyers will also have the option to choose from a selection of seven striking body colors, including Marlin Gray Metallic, Platinum White Pearl, Dark Amethyst Metallic, White, Dark Turquoise Blue Metallic, Carmine Red Metallic, and Silver Metallic.

On the higher end, the top-of-the-line “GR SPORT Premiere” PHEV model comes in at 48,990 euros, translating to around 7.5 million yen.
