Toyota Prius Family coming to Australia
May 22, 2011 By Toyota Australia.
Toyota will display an extended
Prius 'family' at the Australian International Motor Show in July.
The spacious Prius v - the v stands for versatility - is aimed at widening the appeal of Prius, especially for growing families with active lifestyles.
While its footprint is similar to the current Prius, it is an all-new vehicle with a more spacious interior - especially in the luggage compartment.
Prius v will feature at the motor show alongside a new hybrid city car, the Prius c Concept, and the third-generation Prius.
Prius v styling is sleek, rounded and bold, with an extended roofline that allows the vehicle to retain the triangular silhouette symbolic of Prius.
Inside, it delivers extra flexibility with its sliding second-row seats, the backs of which can recline up to 45 degrees. A fold-flat front passenger seat allows extremely long cargo to be carried.
Prius v also delivers the great fuel economy, low emissions and proven technology of its Prius heritage.
Decisions about bringing these members of the Prius family to Australian showrooms are expected to be announced later this year.
