Toyota will introduce the new Prius in January

Toyota Prius

The success of the Toyota Prius is the result of a careful recipe that incorporates a large passenger compartment, and technical services necessary to become one of the most recognizable faces in the industry. During the past five years has been the champion in its segment, but Toyota does not intend to rest on its laurels. In January, and within the context of the Hall of Detroit, the Japanese manufacturer will submit a new generation full of changes.

To begin with, grow both inside and outside (the engine will rise to Toyota Prius 1.8 liters), while Toyota 's engineers have managed to maintain the weight of the vehicle in the current values. After the launch, we'll see versions capable of recharging through plug and a new model with lithium-ion batteries.

Additionally, there is every indication that his name will become a sub. To that end, Toyota will sell variants with distinct body, and if you thought that the current model was already Raritan, get ready, because the new will be even more strange. One of the prototypes that could inspire its design would be 1 / X, although it is possible that the Toyota Prius Hybrid X tristón leave your mark on the external lines.

Toyota Prius As every citizen aware, you want to do everything possible to protect the environment by helping reduce the use of fossil fuels. On the other hand your pace of life makes it imperative the use of a car and must contend with high gas prices. Toyota Prius The obvious solution seems to be using a vehicle like the Toyota Prius, but despite the reduced consumption of this hybrid, its performance is still not as much away from small models or even some compact diesel. But the Toyota Prius has numerous computer systems on board and where they exist, there are also hackers. In this case the geniecillos not want to do any evil, but quite the opposite, because through the intervention of the Toyota Prius systems seek to improve consumption. Toyota Prius These hackers are part of a growing trend in Japan and are known as "nenpimania" manic or mileage.

Takashi Toya is part of this group already has about 100 people. Toyota Prius They make every effort to squeeze every last drop of fuel each and battery life. According to an article in Bloomberg, Toya has improved its vehicle by placing special tyres, plastic and cardboard over the engine and blocking the grill with a layer of rubber. Besides driving without shoes, which we do not know what purpose will, but that detail has already made Toya's wife thinks you're involved in a cult. All this has enabled the Toyota Prius of the reach an output of 33.5 km / l ( Toyota Prius 2.99 litres/100 km). But although this sounds very good, and in Akita Prefecture a resident known as "Teddy-Girl''said to have achieved 49.1 km / l ( Toyota Prius 2 litres/100 km). How far will the nenpimaniacos? At this rate could think of to show the X-Prize.

Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius First of all, this is not the typical joke of April 1. Willie Yee is a New York psychiatrist assume that quite seriously, but when you are not going the hours spent in consultation much of his spare time to his personal liking: Star Trek. Because here sir, is a Trekkie with all the letters.

The doctor's Toyota Prius has been transformed from a compact hybrid ferry pocket class Zhang Heng, thus christened in honour of the Chinese century astronomer I. Toyota Prius The physical aspect of conversion involved an embroidered logo of the Federation of Planets in the seats, some new hubcaps, and vinyls that you see in the bodywork, but perhaps most of all is a worked onboard computer hacked to imitate a Toyota Prius LCARS interface, which informs us for terror SUVs marrulleros which is armed with a battery of phasers and torpedoes proton. We have no idea of autonomy, but we assume that he would run only with cheaper gasoline dilithium crystals that look in this corner of the galaxy.

The Toyota Prius accelerates alone?

Toyota Prius

The hybrid Toyota is one of the cars operating more complex than currently circulating. The Toyota Prius combines an electric motor and an internal combustion engine four cylinders together a series of electronic sensors and software that keep everything running. But with so many systems working together, it is not hard to imagine that something could go wrong, and according to some owners of the Toyota Prius, these small flaws can be dangerous.

We have heard stories of cars that are accelerating their own. The owner of a Toyota Prius ConsumerAffiars told him that his vehicle, which has less than 1,000 km routes, began to "accelerate uncontrollably, while in another case, after going through a pothole on the road was activated traction control , Toyota Prius The brakes ceased to function and the vehicle began to accelerate alone. Neither driver was injured, but the shock will not remove anyone.

Toyota technicians have been consulted and their response has been that these problems are caused by driver error or a rubber mat blocking the accelerator. Toyota Prius Clearly, these explanations are not going to convince the owner of the Toyota Prius affected, and those who believe that their cars have their own free will.

50% of the owners of a Toyota Prius bought it to note that the rest are "green"

Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius Who would have said, after all, half the owners of a Toyota Prius, only presume they are interested. At least so says a study by CNW Marketing Research, which found that not only pollute less and save on fuel but to see what the rest concerned about the environment they are. The key to everything is that the Toyota Prius is a hybrid gas-electric that does not have a counterpart equipped with a conventional combustion engine, which is exactly the case of models as the least desired Honda Civic Hybrid, the Toyota Camry Hybrid or Ford Escape. In a Toyota Prius everyone knows that driving a hybrid, whereas in others, we must look at the small emblem that tells you.

Toyota Prius Seeing this, if other manufacturers want to enter fully to competition in the segment of such vehicles, are left only create a model that shout "Look I have a hybrid, I am" environmentalist. "
