- Toyota, so Toyodas oberstes Gebot, soll so flexibel und sparsam produzieren, dass das Unternehmen nie wieder Verluste schreibt.
- Die Autos sollen westlicher und emotionaler statt bisher vor allem zuverlässig daherkommen. „Wenn es keinen Spaß macht, ist es kein Auto“, lautet Toyodas Parole.

TOYOTA early in 1997 launched the world's first production passenger car Prius Hybrid occasion, whether GM or Europe and other automakers have ridiculed it as mediocre, but this is 18 years, almost all the world's automakers toward Hybrid direction, and as leader TOYOTA Hybrid's not only as the highest guiding principle, and even fourth-generation Prius also identified in October 2015 tokyo Motor Show appearance, in addition to adding PEV version, both exterior appearance, but completely different.



Codenamed 690A of the fourth-generation Prius originally planned to be published in 2014, because after facing airbag recall TOYOTA issue, TNGA (TOYOTA New Global Architecture) modular platform MC Platform and enhanced quality, before making the post later postponed a year and published in the Tokyo Motor Show, but also to the current third-generation Prius product life cycle extended to six years, of course, during this time more progressive battery and power technology, has become the fourth-generation Prius to create up to 40.0km / L The average fuel consumption; the other currently popular Plug-in Hybrid course, the focus of the fourth-generation Prius, but TOYOTA order to make product differentiation, and cost-effectiveness Prius PHV closer to a fuel cell vehicle Mirai, so the appearance and Mirai very quite similar, also has built-in four LED headlights, daytime running lights, and other inline elements.

In the E-Evolution spindle design concept was born the fourth generation Prius, has a 4550 × 1770 × 1490mm body size than the current 4480 × 1745 × 1490mm slightly larger, front and taillights group of irregular shape, based on the creation of superior The economy is quite streamlined body, though part of the body structure in use until the third generation, but about almost seven redesign, the original two-piece tailgate changed to separate monolithic glass, and acrylic plastic replace the glass, like a 5kg weight to be reduced, so that the vehicle weight down to 1280kg (Prius PHV to 1350kg). Wheelbase 2700mm get under well-planned and spacious cabin space, comfort has improved significantly, and Mirai cabin lay quite similar, all concentrated in the center console control panel, all the function keys are mining touch operation, even also return to the first generation of instruments adopted in the home design, emphasizing simplicity and user-friendly route.

THS III power part of the third generation Hybrid system of about 105hp / 5000rpm of horsepower remains 1797cc DOHC VVT-i inline four-cylinder gasoline engine, retuned the next, along with electric water pump, Cool EGR exhaust gas recirculation system and exhaust heat recovery system to increase fuel efficiency and reduce engine warm-up time, with output 90hp hp electric motor and lithium-ion battery output modules, the entire system is about synergy horsepower 145-150hp, combined with CVT stepless automatic transmission, and Normal, Power, Eco and EV Four driving modes, with the idle stop operation of the system obtained after 40.0km / L in JC08 mode average fuel consumption, there is significant progress than the current third-generation 37.0km / L. Also PHV models equipped with the same power source though, but 因马达 drive component is high, so get 70km / L of performance, that is the situation under full tank can easily break endurance 1000km, even the simple use of electric driving there 50km distance, although Compared with the current electric vehicles is less than half, on a purely routine use has been very abundant.

So the fourth-generation Prius published after the Tokyo Motor Show, will continue in Los Angeles, Detroit, Geneva and China show coming out, not even rule out the show at the end of 2015, Taipei, as to when to introduce, at the time and point of view will be the fastest fall around the second quarter of 2016, it entered the Prius want to make a contribution for the global environment, one should be able to wait a little, after all, the fourth generation but can save more oil money!
