The third-generation Prius released in stages in more than 80 countries and regions, as part of an effort to further popularize hybrid vehicles worldwide.
Like its predecessors, the new Prius remains worthy of its name―Latin for "to go before"―by being equipped with the latest in TMC hybrid and other environmentally friendly technology. Its Toyota Hybrid System II (THS II) has been more-than-90-percent designed anew and synergizes with one of the best aerodynamic performances in the world. This synergy combines with other advances to achieve a world-leading1 fuel efficiency of 38.0km/l2, while providing driving performance on par with that offered by a vehicle with a larger 2.4-liter engine. The new Prius comes with four driving modes to match the requirements of specific driving environments, as well as with a solar-powered ventilation system and other dynamic features.
Advanced hybrid performance
The engine and transaxle boast higher efficiency while the motor, inverter and other units are smaller, lighter and more efficient. The THS II has been more-than-90-percent redesigned and includes a 1.8-liter engine, a motor and a reduction gear. Synergetic effects generated between the hybrid system and the vehicle as a whole, including its one-of-the-best-in-the-world aerodynamic performances (with a coefficient of drag value of 0.25), achieve a world-best1 fuel efficiency of 38.0km/l2, and deliver driving performance equivalent to that of a 2.4-liter engine. (Under the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism JC08 test cycle, the new Prius has a fuel efficiency of 32.6km/l.)
Higher engine efficiency
The adoption of a newly developed 1.8-liter gasoline engine reduces engine rpm during high-speed driving and raises fuel efficiency at high speeds. The ample output and torque contribute to comfortable cruising.
TMC's first electric-powered water pump that draws its energy from the battery reduces friction loss through precise control of the coolant water flow rate and an electrically operated drive belt.
A high-expansion-ratio engine results in substantially less piston-pumping loss and internal friction, while cooled exhaust-gas recirculation (EGR) and roller rocker arms raise combustion efficiency.
An exhaust heat recovery system uses exhaust heat, which in the past was discarded, for the interior heater and for warming up the engine.
Key units made smaller and lighter
The transaxle is smaller and lighter with a compact, high-speed motor that achieves increased output, and a reduction gear that increases torque.
The power control unit uses a boost converter to raise system voltage to a maximum of 650V, but is substantially smaller and lighter thanks to a redesign of the cooling system.
The hybrid battery features high-output, nickel-metal hydride cells and features smaller cooling intake/exhaust ducts and fans.
Design pursues both function and beauty
Comprehensive aero-management based on aerodynamic theory has been used to further evolve the Prius' characteristic triangular silhouette, contributing to achieve one of the best aerodynamic performances in the world with a coefficient drag value of 0.25.
Aero-corner shape of front and rear bumpers accentuates sides of corners, while longer rear spoiler enhances aerodynamic performance
Front pillars moved forward 25mm and placed at oblique angle and roof peak moved back to improve rear-seat roominess and create dynamic proportions, while character lines extending from front to rear create refined feel and improve aerodynamic performance by helping reduce drag
Both 17-inch and 15-inch aluminum wheels contribute to better aerodynamic performance
The front and rear emblems and the headlight extensions are Hybrid Synergy Blue, the color that has come to symbolize TMC's hybrid vehicles.
