Toyota Prius 3 debut is scheduled for Detroit Motor Show in January 2009. Toyota will start new open sales in the USA and Japan in April 2009.
There are minor Prius exterior changes – one can clearly see that at the spy photos. Those few changes include longer body and more spacious interior. Prius is famous for its original design and this time it will come with even more distinct features.
Prius 3 comes with Hybrid Synergy Drive, but 1,5l gas engine will be switched for more powerful 1.6l one. The result – more powerful car with improved fuel safety characteristics – 4.9l per 100km in the city and 4.9l in the highways.
It is notable that introduction of new lithium-ion batteries for Prius 3 is scheduled for 2010 earliest. By that time Toyota has plans to produce 480 000 hybrid cars per annum.
