Toyota enlarges the Prius family with the new Prius v hybrid MPV
Toyota has unveiled a new Prius v hybrid five-seater MPV at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which is a full hybrid model powered by Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive. This new hybrid MPV boasts 50% more interior space than a normal Prius hatchback and has 970 litres of loadspace behind the rear seats.
The exterior styling has a sleek look with an enlarged lower air intake for improved aerodynamics and cooling. To the rear, the Prius v has a smart tailgate and a roof spoiler to facilitate the flow of air away from the back of the vehicle. The new Prius v is expected to offer some of the best fuel economy ratings of any SUV, crossover or estate but at present is only destined for the US market with no European model planned yet.
