Photo spy: This is the interior of the new Prius

Toyota Prius

The bodywork of the Toyota Prius remains a mystery, but we already know how to be inside. Toyota Prius WCF has achieved the first spy picture so far of the board, which shows an environment driving modern, simple, and why not say so, clearly evolved from this model, as shown by the dome of the steering wheel and instruments . But until the last piece is 100% new.

The most striking is undoubtedly a central console extraordinarily angle, almost horizontal, with at least two LCD screens and a microscopic shifter. It is striking, almost spacecraft, and does not cost one second or associate with a hybrid vehicle. Toyota has long made public his wish that the Toyota Prius was a model Toyota Prius easily recognisable around the world, and it is clear that not only spoke of the shell.

Moreover, nothing new to tell. Toyota will launch the new generation of the Toyota Prius next year, changing its current Toyota Prius 1.6 liter engine of a more powerful Toyota Prius 1.8. In total, the horsepower should average as adding the 160 hp electric motor, and consumption would remain in some derisory Toyota Prius 2.9 litres/100 km. The Hall of Detroit serve as a framework for presentation, and from the frozen Motown, we offer you the first images live.

Toyota delayed the launch of the new Prius

Toyota Prius

According to Japanese newspaper Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, Toyota will delay a few months the launch of next generation Toyota Prius. Originally planned for autumn 2008, the long-awaited entry will have to wait now to spring 2009. This will be the fourth generation of the popular hybrid (the first, almost unknown, did not come out of Japan), and was in fact among its most important changes would be a lithium-ion battery. Toyota , however, has opted for nickel metal hydride, delaying the launch of the car until it completes development of the electrical system. Matsushita, Toyota partner for the manufacture of batteries, could be part of the blame, but Toyota said that officially there is no such delay, since it maintains as never was first announced a specific date Toyota Prius.

With or without lithium-ion batteries, the Toyota Prius hybrid is by far the best selling and best-known market. Last year, Toyota posted 186,000 units, with which the manufacturer added a total of 313,000 hybrids sold.

Toyota delayed the introduction of lithium-ion batteries to the Prius

Toyota Prius

Referring to Chevrolet Volt, which we hope model arrives in Toyota Prius 2010, Bob Lutz has said repeatedly that he hopes the battery manufacturers are able to get a package that is equal to the challenge, because with current technology, things are difficult for GM electric car. But the U.S. manufacturer is not alone with this problem, since Toyota has delayed the introduction of lithium-ion batteries for the next generation of Toyota Prius, claiming that they are not ready to be used and that could lead to security problems. Anyway, there are already independent companies installing packages of lithium-ion batteries in hybrid cars and getting surprising results. Toyota has a very good record in terms of demands and campaigns to review, so you probably want to continue the same way, avoiding risk their reputation and the success of the Toyota Prius.

Honda launches the throat of the Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius

Toyota could boast of being one of the first companies to offer a hybrid trading, but the fact is that Toyota has left him the only protagonist robe with his Toyota Prius. Lack of promotion, technology ... pon the reason you seem more logical. Fortunately, things are not going to go on like this for a long time. The Japanese manufacturer has realized the importance of this lucrative market niche, which accumulate in the near Toyota Prius 200,000 units per year, of which no less than half will be absorbed by U.S. households.

Unlike the Civic Hybrid, which has been unable to do anything against the almighty Toyota Prius, the Honda next model will be offered exclusively by a mechanical hybrid, a decision that will be very useful in their efforts to create image. Toyota Prius Although we can not assure anything for the moment, is rumoured that style of car will be inspired by the traits of FCX, to a prototype fuel cell that despite being scheduled for next year remains the greatest of mysteries. Subsequently, we should see a new hybrid based on the RC-Z, whom we contemplate in Toyota Prius Tokyo recently.

Toyota will increase production of the Prius by 70%

Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius was no longer a curiosity at the same time that Toyota raised its production to 280,000 units per year in 2007, but now is on the verge of becoming a generalist like any other vehicle. When the Japanese manufacturer will kick-started the next generation, expand the space occupied by the vehicle in their production sites to get an estimated 480,000 Toyota Prius annually. Toyota Prius The Japanese factory Tsutsumi, currently occupied by mounting five vehicles different, no longer manufacture the Wish minivan to make hollow in this automotive icon green, and the thing will direct red-hot when Toyota opened the doors of its new facilities in Mississippi.

"Thank you" to the unbearable price of fuel, the Toyota Prius is no longer a claim for Yuppie, political and drivers in general eager to show off, becoming an urban vehicle so perfectly valid as anyone else. And that is not the best thing: his success has managed to spur other manufacturers to the extent that there is no single company that does not see a future without electrical assistance. Although oil prices back to what it was (and we doubt it), the foundations for the new generation of propulsion trains have already been raised by this ugly duckling that for many was not going to move from mere experiment.

Toyota Prius

So far all Toyota Prius intended to leave the West lines that Toyota has in Japan, but that could change soon. According to the latest news, the Japanese manufacturer is considering migrating the assembly of its hybrid star to California, specifically in the same plant that it shares with General Motors in Fremont. Toyota Prius Recall that both companies already produce there Corolla and the Matrix / Vibe.

So far Toyota has not responded to questions from the press about it, but confirmed this information, we assume that General Motors would also have to give the go-ahead before moving to higher. Toyota Prius Almost all components of the Toyota Prius should be sent by ship to U.S. facilities, but the explosive interest in the North American market for vehicles with lower consumption of leftovers could offset the costs of logistics. We must also bear in mind that one of the key points in the expansion plan of Toyota is to sell a million hybrids a year from 2010, and this decision could serve to bring the Toyota Prius to its target market par excellence.

In any case these past two factories will be paralysed until November given the low interest buyers in larger vehicles. And all this for the price of oil. News and help put things in perspective.
