Toyota Motor is the world’s most acclaimed hybrid car producer and is also known as the pioneer of the hybrid technology and green cars, as this Japanese auto giant was the first to mass produce the Prius hybrid back in 1997. Since then, Prius went ahead to create history as the most popular and efficient hybrid car in the world.
Though, the Toyota Prius is synonymous with hybrid, the company went ahead a lot with its advanced hybrid technology. The world’s most selling auto company has a total 23 hybrid models in its product portfolio and is all set to bring a whole lot more. All the 23 hybrid cars from Toyota shout of their brilliant technology, quality and individual features to charm the modern buyers.
In a bid to showcase its complete dominance in the hybrid field, Toyota Motor presented all its 23 Toyota as well as Lexus branded hybrid models in a media event close to Detroit recently. Along with the display of its current hybrid models, Toyota also announced its plans to bring forth its new range hybrid cars braced with considerably high fuel efficiency, snazzier looks and enhanced driving dynamics. Toyota says it will be unveiling 15 new or refreshed hybrid models worldwide by the end of the year 2015.
The most awaited among these new hybrids, is none other than the next-generation Prius model. The current third generation model of the Prius has evolved a lot that its first one and along with the improvements, its price has gone down too. It has already crossed the mark of three million sales all over the world and the next model is expected to carry forward its success even better.
Toyota not only created a car in the form of the Prius, that is most needed for our present ecological conditions but also prompted the other auto makers to join this green bandwagon. Toyota’s rivals quickly launched many hybrid models after witnessing the success of the Prius. However, Prius is still the boss of hybrid cars and accounts for over 70 percent of the three million hybrids cars on U.S. roads at present.
Toyota is all set to launch the next generation Prius sometime in the 2015, though the company has not confirmed the launch dates. What is known is that the all new Prius will be lighter, more powerful with a potent compact motor, have an enhanced battery and of course will offer greater fuel efficiency.
The Managing Officer at Toyota Motor, US, Satoshi Ogiso said that the current model of the Prius has held the topmost spot in fuel economy in America for several years. He added that over its 3 three generations, the Prius’s mileage has been improved by about 10 percent on each model, and Toyota is driven to break its own record.
The Japanese auto major is also busy bringing its first most talked about fuel cell sedan, in 2015. This fully green car is to debut at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show in November.
