Toyota Prius PHV upgraded dual tone color

Hybrid vehicles have not touched the surface of Canadian roads for 15 years, wonder how it will be to drive a hybrid vehicle. A driver from Calgary Mary Caldwell has test driven the Prius V car. It was a lengthy test drive; she drove the car for a week in ideal drive conditions on highway and city. Driving a hybrid car is seriously thrilling; Mary says she treated it like any other vehicle.

The first impression of a Prius car is the wow factor, Caldwell was amazed by the mere look of the car, particularly the V appearance and slender profile. Sitting inside was a breeze there is more than sufficient room to sit comfortably and even stretch. Caldwell is 5’7’’ and she found it easy to get in, her long legs fit well, and the head rest is cozy.

Caldwell liked the look of the interiors, the layering of the seats and plastic fitments on doors and dashboard look aesthetic and the aftermath feel effect is great. Anyone will be a little stressed in the beginning to drive a hybrid car, because of its different nature of technology. With Prius V everything is easy at first hand and Caldwell was familiar with controls in no time. The only concern was the information on the dashboard, and it got her distracted and she could not focus on the road ahead.

Caldwell said that the electric engine was smooth, you could get lost only when you hit the accelerator hard. She said she enjoyed driving Prius V, so different from her initial perception thinking that she could not even get through a signal. The ride encounter was quite pleasant on highways; the only issue was the noise emission from gas power train. The advanced continuously variable transmission was smooth and so were the brakes and handling.

Caldwell has a heck of an experience with Prius V; it could cross any challenging path even rough bumps. She says the car is great for the young demographic. Caldwell was able to handle the car so well that she completed a week’s journey with it.

On the first day she took the car out at 3pm, drove it for 40km, picked up groceries and got home. Caldwell drove the car for 30km on the second day in the city. On the third day she attended a wedding; fourth day did her chores on a rainy day. On the fourth day she attended two events, and her husband was awe-struck by gas mileage. During the fifth day she was scouting for a place to stay, on day six she did groceries and on the last day it was an adventure, she drove with three of her girlfriends and did a 200km round trip.

For those who are fascinated by the high-tech nature of Prius, just buy the car and wander any and everywhere.

According to an automotive journal, Toyota Motor has delayed the planned production date of the next-gen Prius by six months, from Spring of 2015 to the end of the year. That is likely to affect the car’s launch date by the same amount of time. The scheduled production of the plug-in version of the next-gen Prius remains unchanged to October 2016 which is much later than the full hybrid version of the car.

While the report talks about the possible delay of the Prius’ launch, it does not state what exactly caused such a massive delay of 6 months.

According to a source the engineers of Toyota are working on extra tweaks, as the next-gen model is expected to be absolutely an evolved version of the current model and superbly advanced as well. The source suspects the delay involves maximization of fuel economy and chassis reinforcement.

Such delay is not actually inappropriate as the Prius is one of the most important vehicles from Toyota. The Prius is also a yardstick for Toyota and it would naturally want to heighten the car’s standard and appeal in the next-gen model, and so a delay in order to ensure everything is perfect is quite natural for the Japanese car major.

The Toyota Prius Hybrid has sold more than six million units worldwide, since its inception back in the year 1997. And with every generation model, the Prius has only got better and more efficient.

The 2016 all new Toyota Prius hybrid is expected to debut Toyota’s all new design language which is aimed to be ‘heart racing’ by the company. Apart from an alluring new design language, the next Prius is also going to be much stronger and stable with a reinforced body chassis. It is being built on Toyota’s all new platform along with critical new technologies including the company’s next generation hybrid system. Thus, the world’s audience has huge expectation levels regarding the all new Prius, as it is an all new car in every single aspect.

Apart from the traditional shape, the new Prius is expected to arrive with everything new. Toyota is also aiming to offer a ten percent fuel economy enhancement and improve the next-gen model’s mileage to 55 mpg when it launches.

Toyota has been introducing each new generation Prius model with a 10% enhanced fuel economy. However, the upcoming next-gen Prius is going to be much better than its predecessors. Toyota is not only promising the next-gen Prius to have an all new stunning design, but also a stunning new mileage.

The next generation Toyota Prius is reportedly going to break new grounds in terms of massive fuel efficiency as well as low carbon emissions, and offer an astounding 60 mpg. Coupled with the incredible fuel economy, the all new 2016 Toyota Prius is also going to flaunt Toyota’s new heart racing design language that has been long pending for it.

So how is the next-gen Prius going to offer the fantastic 60 MPG? Enhancing the current powertrains will certainly not offer such a huge leap. Throwing some light on this matter, Toyota Motor has already announced some significant ways in which the 2016 Prius will accomplish the stunning return of 60 mpg.

Toyota Motor’s Managing Director, Satoshi Ogiso has stated that crossing 55 MPG is the goal set for the next-gen Prius. He said that the current Prius’ returns have improved by about 10 percent which has been the average thing for each generation of the vehicle. He also added that Toyota is going to beat its record and the next-gen Prius’ gasoline engine will also achieve higher fuel efficiency and will return 2% more than the current model. However, this cannot really achieve the mammoth 60 MPG on the whole.

In another separate announcement, Toyota Motor also revealed the next-gen Prius will be endowed with a new power electronics system. Toyota will use silicon carbide as the substrate in the vehicle, which will successfully enhance the fuel efficiency in hybrid by around 5 to 10%. This means that Toyota could be adding another 5 MPG with this new technology, but this too cannot deliver the massive 60 MPG.

In order to jump to the humongous 60 MPG, Toyota still needs to add around another about 10% more to the next Prius’ overall efficiency. This task seemed to be unattainable, till Toyota Motor Sport’s team principal, Yoshiaki Kinoshita revealed the capability of the super capacitor technology that the company is using in the endurance race cars and is going to be implemented into Toyota’s passenger cars. Kinoshita said that this system is 60 times better than that in the Prius, and if the company can successfully use the technology in the Prius, then the vehicle will be even better.

Thus, the 2016 Prius may involve lots of new technologies together to achieve the dream mileage of 60 MPG.
