Prius to multiply at show
The Prius V concept will be showcased at the 2011 Australian International Motor Show.
This possible addition to the Prius "family" shows its face soon at Melbourne's Australian International Motor Show in July.
The versatile and spacious Prius v will feature on Toyota's stand alongside the Prius c Concept and the third-generation Prius. Prius v and Prius c Concept are aimed at broadening the appeal of Prius.
Opinions of motor show patrons would feed into consideration of Prius v for the local market.
Prius v is a family-oriented five-seater designed to meet the needs of growing families with active lifestyles. The v stands for versatility, which is reflected in the car's compact exterior and more spacious interior.
Prius v was designed from the ground up as a new, dedicated hybrid vehicle with a shape that evolved from Prius it is not just an elongated version. It shares the current Prius platform while providing substantially more cargo space. Seven-seat Prius+ was also under study for the local market.
Prius v shares the Hybrid Synergy Drive technology of the current-generation Prius, including its nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Inside, it delivers extra flexibility with its sliding second-row seats, the backs of which can recline up to 45 degrees. A fold-flat front passenger seat allows extremely long cargo to be carried.
