Toyota has unveiled its all-new Prius Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) in Japan. The new model is the latest addition to the Prius lineup and is the first PHEV in the series. The new Prius PHEV is powered by a combination of a 1.8-liter gasoline engine and two electric motors, which work together to provide a total system output of 122 horsepower. The vehicle also features an all-new lithium-ion battery pack that provides a driving range of up to 65 kilometers (40 miles) on a single charge.
The new Prius PHEV is equipped with a variety of advanced technologies, including Toyota’s proprietary Hybrid Synergy Drive system. This system allows the vehicle to switch between electric and gasoline power sources depending on driving conditions, allowing for greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The vehicle also features a regenerative braking system, which captures energy from braking and uses it to recharge the battery.
The new Prius PHEV also comes with a range of convenience features, such as a 7-inch touchscreen display, voice recognition technology, and a wireless charging pad for smartphones. The vehicle is also equipped with a variety of safety features, including Toyota’s Safety Sense P system, which includes automatic emergency braking and lane departure warning.
