Toyota will use the
extraordinary success and
vaunted image of the Prius hybrid when it expands the name plate with the
2012 Prius V model. V is for
versatility, says Toyota, the
new model packing 50 percent more cargo space than the current Prius. The larger, heavier and less aerodynamic body, but has a
significant impact on fuel economy with EPA estimates drop from
51 mpg city and
48 mpg on the
highway to
42/38 mpg. V Prius has a combined
EPA estimate of
40 mpg vs. Prius '50 mpg.To build a
roomier Prius, Toyota has gone all
dimensions of the existing car. The wheelbase grows by
3.1 inches while overall length increases by
6.1 inches. It's also
3.3 inches taller and
1.2 inches wider with
drag coefficient increases from
0.25 to
0.29. Toyota has not discussed the weight of the
new Prius V, but you can be sure that it comes in many
Prius '3 0042-pounds weight.
The new Prius will take the form of an MPV, a factor which is popular with families in Europe. It seats five and uses four conventional doors. Behind the door, the owners can save up to 34.3 cubic meters of cargo. To accommodate passengers and gear in the rear seats slide and rest and the front passenger seat folds flat to accommodate long objects.
