On November 16th, the fifth and next generation Prius will make its appearance in the United States. Unsurprisingly, it will be a hybrid vehicle.Â
You will have heard it, at the Los Angeles Auto Show next Wednesday, the Prius is coming back for the fifth time. Accompanied by the slogan « Hybrid reborn », it is obvious that the teasers evoke a new hybrid car. *
What’s a hybrid car* ? A hybrid car has two types of engines. A thermal engine, often gasoline, and an electric one. So it has an engine of each and a traction battery. The battery capacity is much lower than a 100% electric car.
But Toyota says no more, to keep a little mystery and suspense around this reissue. As a reminder, the Prius has introduced hybrid engines. As time went on, these vehicles even became less and less noisy. To distinguish the Prius, on the fourth generation Toyota had a very original style. But it did not appeal to potential buyers. As for the Prius 5, it should also stand out from the rest of the range.
On the teasers, we see a sedan with a more aerodynamic cut. It should even have a more sporty look. This car will be inspired by the bZ, the new electric vehicles of the Japanese brand.
Like the last, the Prius 5 will be available in plug-in and single hybrid. Great novelty, it will surely be proposed with a hydrogen engine, allowing to democratize this kind of fuel.
Unfortunately, it will be 2023 before this new model arrives in France and Europe.
