hey you can actually see a bit of the front fascia and the rear end in that thumbnail lol.
The front has clear Toyota Crown vibes/elements (Seems to be the design direction of the new gen Toyota cars) The rear end seems to have a bit of the wierd bulges that the current prius has, otherwise it does kind of match the wedge shape of that illustration. taillights seem to follow the Mirai, Venza and Crown. |

I actually think it looks pretty slick. Interior is a bit of a blend of Crown and BZ4x. Its not prius slow either....about 6 seconds the guy said 0-60...(press release says 6.7 0-100km/h). thats a major jump seeing as how these things have historically been 10 second cars. 50% more EV range should be decent too. Seems the PHEV is about 220hp..... I think the HEV powertrains are the same in the Corolla and upcoming Corolla Cross: 134hp hybrid with a 1.8L motor, and 193hp with a 2.0 motor. I never cared for prius. The Prius C was the only one that seemed semi appealing to me. But this is legit appealing Man how embarassing does it sound that the first gen 86 can be outrun by a Prius lol. First it was Camry's, then minivans, and now the lowly Prius lol.

LOL It is also a very large and expensive portable generator!
"This model is equipped with two 100 VAC / 1,500 W accessory power outlets; one at the back of the center console and one in the cargo space. Users can select the BEV external power supply mode, which uses power from the battery only without having to start the engine, or the HEV external power supply mode, which recharges the battery from the engine if the remaining power is too low. It also comes with an external electric power supply attachment as standard so that external power supply is possible with the door windows closed to prevent rain and insects from getting in the car when in use."

Personally, I find most of the first half of that to be useful benefits of the platform when possible. Frunks are great - though tougher to do in the smaller form factor. There's still lots of components to stuff into the car and under the front hood is as good a place as any. Being able to use the battery pack of your car in an emergency is pretty handy. If nothing else, being able to run an extension cord to your fridge during an outage could be very helpful (assuming the car's system can handle the surge from the fridge's compressor kicking on). The rest? Eh, everyone nitpicks on something. I have to admit I haven't given a door handle much thought in a long time. I appreciate that the current Toyota handle seems pretty robust, though the fingernail scratches in the area behind the handle can be annoying. Of course I'd prefer no handles at all, just give me a door popper... though they aren't very practical anywhere that gets snow or ice. I hadn't heard about the cruise control complaints - that's a funny one. I assume folks want more buttons on the steering wheel instead? My wife's 2020 RAV4 has all the controls on the wheel now, so I think they're moving that direction. And I love the classic digital clock. In fact if I had a complaint there it's that it's no longer the really basic, green LED digital clock like Toyota used for like - 30 years. I do agree about one thing though - I hate the BMW turn-signal. Last edited by Dake; 11-17-2022 at 12:08 PM. |
