Ultra-efficient Prius with Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain
“Prime” also describes the vehicle’s available advanced safety technology, Toyota Safety Sense™ P. Want to cut the cord? The climate control system is quieter, thanks to an electric compressor, and it’s smarter, focusing airflow only to areas where occupants are seated in order to help maximize fuel economy and comfort. The 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, 4-cylinder engine – the same as in all 2016 Prius hybrid models – earns a groundbreaking 40 percent-plus thermal efficiency. The climate control system can also operate without the engine on, with a heat pump that allows the system to cool or heat the cabin while driving in EV mode. The driver can activate the remote air conditioning system with an available key fob or smartphone app to cool the interior before entering the cabin. High Tech, Low EffortThe centrally mounted gauge panel, a Prius hallmark since the model’s inception, appears to float above the dashboard. drivers, and drive at speeds up to 84 mph without leaving EV mode.As parsimonious with fuel as the Prius Prime may be, it drives with the same verve as the standard new-generation Prius hybrid, one result of the new high-strength platform and double-wishbone independent rear suspension.Prius Prime adds even more premium touches and exclusive tech features compared to the all-new Prius hybrid, including its available 11.6-inch, HD central multimedia screen with standard navigation and available full color head-up display. Energy-conserving quad LED headlights glow like diamonds cutting the night, and LED rear combination lamps leave an unforgettable nighttime signature. The Prius Prime will allow drivers to stay in EV mode in more situations, helping to enhance vehicle range on one tank of fuel. You can plug it in, gas it up, or both. On one 11.3-gallon tank of regular-grade gasoline and a full electric charge, the 2017 Prius Prime anticipates a class-leading estimated total driving range of over 600 miles (Toyota recommends making occasional stops to refuel and recharge yourself and passengers). Mechanical GeniusBoth the standard Prius hybrid and the Prius Prime are powered by Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain, which seamlessly combines the output of the gasoline engine and electric motor through a planetary-type continuously variable transmission. The new-generation Prius Prime is 2.4 inches longer, 0.6 inches wider and about an inch lower than its predecessor. It’s a quiet cabin, too, thanks to the sound-insulating laminated windshield and front door glass and the optimized aero shape that helps keep wind noise where it belongs – outside.The Prius Prime coddles the driver and passengers with standard heated front seats, an automatic climate control system, and available SofTex® synthetic leather trimmed seats. Regenerative braking recaptures electrical energy under deceleration and braking and stores it in the battery, which helps to reduce fuel consumption.Even better, there’s no special equipment for home charging. Just use the supplied cord and the Prius Prime takes approximately 5.5 hours using a standard household outlet. Charging takes less than half the time with a 240V source. Myriad details throughout the hybrid powertrain contribute to the efficiency, including an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system with a cooler, smaller, lighter, quieter hybrid system water pump and an exhaust heat recirculation system that speeds engine warm-up. Looks Marvelous, Feels MarvelousThe Prius Prime looks and feels far from frugal on the inside, where a four-seat cabin layout, with center console running front to back, looks more like a high-end luxury coupe. Access to Entune® services is subscription-free. Built-in Parking ValetIn the urban jungle, where hunting for a prime parking space is a sport, the Prius Prime wins. The system can also reverse the Prius Prime into perpendicular spaces and automatically steer it out of a parallel space.When the way forward gets narrow, such as in a parking garage, the system’s Intelligent Clearance Sonar provides visible and audible warnings if the driver gets too close to obstacles on the vehicle’s sides.The 2017 Prius Prime will begin arriving in Toyota showrooms in late fall.*Based on manufacture’ data (Prius Prime 120MPGe) and fueleconomy.gov Plug-in Hybrid segment, as of February 2016 Efficiency ExpertNot to be overshadowed by all the electrical magic, the Prius Prime’s gasoline engine also plays a starring role in that efficiency. Its coefficient of drag is expected to be among the lowest for production sedans. Even when not running in EV mode, the Prius Prime will automatically rely more on its electric capability in situations where it is more efficient than running the gasoline engine, especially in urban and suburban driving and during shorter trips.The Prius Prime will also feature a Toyota-first dual motor generator drive system, using both the electric motor and the generator for drive force, helping to boost acceleration performance. NEW YORK, March 23, 2016 – If there’s electricity in the air at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, it’s probably coming from the Toyota display, where the world’s hybrid vehicle leader has unveiled the new Prius Prime, an ultra-efficient model with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. It’s chiseled profile and edgy character lines seem to dare the wind to stand in its way. In hybrid mode, the Prius Prime is targeting a hybrid MPG equal to or better than the Prius liftback.The 2017 Prius Prime combines an electrifying design with an even more capable electric powertrain than the previous-generation Prius Plug-in Hybrid. The panel features dual 4.2-inch full-color TFT (thin film transistor) multi-information displays, and the driver can change their content by using steering wheel controls. The display provides a multitude of readouts for hybrid energy information and more, and the driver can choose how much information to view. “Prime” means best, making it the perfect name for one of the most technologically advanced, best-equipped Prius in the model’s history.The Prius Prime’s manufacturer-estimated 120 or above MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) is expected to be the highest MPGe rating of any Plug-in Hybrid.* It also represents a substantial 26-percent enhancement over its predecessor, a result of greater battery capacity and an improved hybrid system. Automatic grille shutters help reduce drag by closing when airflow to the radiator is not needed.Yet the Prius Prime is no aero jellybean. The growth boosts cargo room over its predecessor and gives the Prius Prime a road-hugging stance.The wind-cheating body and its high-strength/low weight structure are critical factors in the Prius Prime’s astoundingly low energy consumption. The Prius Prime is expected to offer an estimated two times the electric range of the previous model — 22 miles – meeting the daily commuter distance of over half of U.S. The Entune™ Multimedia Bundle includes AM/FM cache radio (letting you pause songs and play later), HD Radio™, HD Radio™ predictive traffic and Doppler weather overlay, SiriusXM® Satellite Radio with 3-month complimentary SiriusXM All Access trial and Gracenote® album cover art.Of course there’s a USB 2.0 port with iPod® connectivity and control, plus advanced voice recognition and hands-free phone capability, phonebook access and music streaming via Bluetooth®. Available Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA) uses ultrasonic wave sensors to size up a parallel parking space and then, when activated by the driver, can steer the car into it.

Prime Mover: Toyota Maxes Out Tech and Style in the World’s Best-Selling Hybrid to Create the 2017 Prius Prime В oснoву нoвoгo Toyota Prius Prime зaлoжeнa тa жe прoгрeссивнaя плaтфoрмa Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), чтo и у oбычнoй вeрсии гибридa. Пoдзaряжaeмый xэтчбeк eщё бoльшe пoxoж нa вoдoрoдный Mirai, чeм клaссичeскaя мoдификaция. Нe мeнee рaзитeльныe измeнeния и сзaди, гдe фoнaри прaктичeски зaмкнули кoльцo вoкруг сeкции oстeклeния пoд спoйлeрoм. Oднaкo ёмкoсть aккумулятoрa у вeрсии Prime бoльшe и сoстaвляeт 8.8 кВт•ч. Oпциoнaльнo мoжнo зaкaзaть стeрeoсистeму JBL и aвтoпaркoвщик. В силoвыx элeмeнтax примeняeтся высoкoпрoчнaя стaль, в тo врeмя кaк кaпoт изгoтoвлeн из aлюминия, а крышка багажника и вовсе сделана из углеродного волокна. Полноценная зарядка аккумуляторов от бытовой сети занимает около 5.5 часов, а усреднённый расход топлива по паспорту составляет 1.96 л/100 км пробега. А ещё новый розеточный «Приус» оказался на 6 см длиннее, на 1.5 шире и на 2.5 см ниже своего предшественника — Prius Plug-in Hybrid. Приборная панель, как и у прежнего поколения, размещена над центральным тоннелем. От обычного «Приуса» новинка отличается не только возможностью подзарядки от бытовой электросети и сниженным потреблением топлива, но и дизайном. Однако внешние отличия у двух «Тойот» позволяют предположить, что это совершенно разные модели.
Toyota Prius Prime
У плагин-гибрида не такой острый нос, совершенно иная передняя оптика с крупными светодиодными блоками в стиле новых Acura, а также перепрофилированный бампер с LED-дневными ходовыми огнями и противотуманками.
