Toyota has now confirmed that they are most certainly going to launch their Prius model in the Indian market in the coming years, making it the second hybrid car in India, first being the Honda Civic hybrid.
The Prius is completely redesigned into a mid-size liftback which is between the Corolla and the Camry in size. The new Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) uses an all-electric compressor for cooling. Air conditioning is operated independently of the gasoline engine, an industry first. The Prius is the most fuel efficient car that Consumer Reports has tested giving a real-world fuel consumption of 5.35 L/100 km. The Prius’ onboard GPS navigation system (as well as other models, such as the Lexus, which use the same technology) is designed so that destinations cannot be entered while the vehicle is in motion. According to the owner’s manual, this is done for the driver’s own safety
The safety features include, Driver and front-passenger Advanced Airbag System, Driver and front-passenger front seat-mounted side airbags and front to rear side curtain airbags, Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) with Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist, Traction Control (TRAC), Engine immobilizer, Rear-seat Child Restraint System (CRS) lower anchors and top tether brackets (LATCH), 3-point front outboard seatbelts, Front seatbelt pretensioners with force limiters
