The short overhangs and sweeping back angle give the car a presence of an advanced technology vehicle, while the narrowed cabin design gives it a low-resistance and agile appearance.The edgy styling extends to the interior, with premium finishes for a distinctive appearance. In keeping with the Beyond Zero theme, eco-friendly design features include plant-based materials and seats made from recycled materials.An onboard personal assistant connects the driver and passengers to the car through audio and visual lighting cues, and moves around the cabin in response to front or rear passenger requests and commands.

Toyota’s fifth-generation new “Prius” model.
No More “Used Car Concepts”! What is the reaction to the new KINTO sub-subscription as the evolution of the new Toyota “Prius” continues?
KINTO Unlimited” car evolves even after it is put into use
Toyota and its subsidiary, KINTO, announced a new service for subscriptions, “KINTO Unlimited,” on December 7, 2022.“Novel” in appearance and shift! The new Toyota Prius in 51 photos.
The service will be launched with the new “Prius,” which is scheduled to go on sale this winter. What kind of response have you received from SNS users?
Toyota’s fifth-generation new “Prius” model, which will make its world premiere on November 16, 2022, and is scheduled to go on sale in Japan this winter (spring 2023 for the PHEV model).
KINTO is a subscription service that offers unlimited rides in new Toyota cars for a fixed monthly fee.
The user leases the vehicle rather than owns it, but since the monthly fee includes the vehicle itself, voluntary insurance, automobile tax, and maintenance fees, the user does not have to go through any troublesome procedures, and the fixed monthly fee makes it easier to afford a new vehicle from a financial standpoint.
The feature of KINTO Unlimited that has been developed this time is to “”continuously provide added value even after the car is delivered,”” which has been difficult to achieve with conventional cars.
In the past, equipment and functions basically remained the same from the time a vehicle was acquired until it was sold, but KINTO Unlimited supports “”evolution”” by adding the latest safety features through software updates even after the vehicle is in use, and by adding options depending on the intended use of the vehicle. KINTO Unlimited supports “”evolution”” by adding the latest safety features through software updates and adding options depending on the intended use of the vehicle.
This allows the value of the car, which normally declines over time between contract and return, to be maintained, and is reflected in the subscriber’s monthly fee in advance, allowing users to use the service at a more reasonable price.
The car itself also allows for future hardware upgrades. Specifically, in anticipation of upgrades, Toyota’s first “”upgrade-ready design”” specifications include the addition of harnesses and other equipment necessary for retrofitting from the time the new car is manufactured, in preparation for future advancements such as advanced driver assistance functions, which are rapidly improving in performance.
In addition, the system analyzes and diagnoses the driver’s driving tendencies based on driving data and provides safe driving advice through a dedicated application.
Furthermore, for periodic inspections, which have been conducted at regular intervals such as every six months, the system suggests the optimal timing for oil changes and other maintenance based on data for each vehicle.
SNS users commented, “”For people in the Showa era, it does not satisfy their desire for ownership. And I wonder if it is unnecessary for people who can do maintenance and repairs themselves.”” While some said that the subscriber service is not suitable for them, others welcomed the service, saying, “”It is really great that you can retrofit manufacturer options,”” and “”I am glad that hardware can be retrofitted.
Others hoped that the new Prius would adopt “”KINTO Unlimited”” as an option if it is a car they really want to drive.
Furthermore, some commented that “”the concept of a used car may disappear in the future Toyota”” because the car will continue to evolve even after it is put into use due to the design of specifications that anticipate upgrades.
KINTO Unlimited plans to begin offering the service with some of the new Prius models and expand it to other models based on user response.”

Take a closer look at the “evolution” points of the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV … Human and car technology 2022 .
“Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV’s “”evolution”” points carefully…Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV: Technologies for People and Vehicles2022.
Body framework of the Outlander PHEV with increased battery capacity and enhanced EV driving Body of the Outlander PHEV Door panels, etc.
Mitsubishi Motors, which exhibited at the Automotive Engineering Exposition 2022, focused its technical exhibit on the new Outlander PHEV. Explanation staff were stationed to explain the various technologies, and a handset and tablet were set up in front of the poster display.By picking up the phone, visitors could connect with engineers and developers waiting in their offices and ask questions via videophone on their tablets. Suppliers are the stars of the show, and even OEMs do not have huge booths. Since this is a technical event, they can pinpoint their products and technologies. Conversely, it is difficult to have an exhaustive exhibition of many products and technologies and a large number of staff on hand to explain them.
MMC’s remote staff may be a good idea, as they can communicate directly with engineers on site.
The actual points of explanation are the evolved points of the Outlander PHEV’s predecessor and new model. The battery has been expanded from 300V 13.8kWh to 350V 20kW. The increase is approximately 44% more power. The increase in volume was made possible by changing the cells from square to thin laminated cells and widening the width of the pack shape from long to wide. The thickness of the pack itself was also reduced to 90mm.
The battery temperature management system has also evolved. The previous generation was air-cooled by a fan, but the new system uses a heat sink cooled by a refrigerant. The elimination of the fan has also led to a larger pack size. The increased capacity of the temperature management system also further reduces battery deterioration due to charging and discharging.
Along with the increased battery capacity, the control of the inverter and battery power management unit has also been changed. In order to increase fuel economy and cruising range, and to make driving smoother, the control system is designed to increase EV driving as much as possible.
The electronically controlled S-AWC enables finer attitude control by expanding the EV driving range.
