Welcome to the all new Prius. The world’s most
advanced hybrid, and quite possibly the world’s
most advanced car. Completely redeveloped and
re-imagined, it is energised with technologies,
including several world and Toyota fi rsts to
transform the way you drive.
Its new Hybrid Synergy Drive system incorporates
a sophisticated and more powerful 1.8 litre
Atkinson-cycle engine. So advanced, that despite
its increase in performance, fuel consumption
and emissions have improved again over the
previous generation Prius.
Prius is also equipped with the world’s first
‘Touch Tracer’ system. As you operate the touch
controls on the steering wheel, a duplicate image
of your actions is displayed on the instrument
panel. This reduces your eye movement and
allows you to maintain concentration on the
road ahead.
Prius’ roof incorporates solar panels which supply
power to the ventilation system, which, when
activated, cool the Prius automatically when
parked in direct sunlight. The air conditioning
system can also be operated remotely, to cool
down the Prius prior to driving – powered solely
by the hybrid battery.

Prius - Fuel Saver
Want to change the world - or simply slash fuel costs? Start now. In Australian Government Standard testing, the Prius achieved fuel consumption of 4.4 litres / 100 km under the combined cycle*. That's up to 50% less consumption than a comparably-sized family car. One tank of fuel could theoretically get you over an astonishing 1,000km. And with 57kW of power and 115Nm of torque, there’s no compromise on performance and driveability.
