Latest Prius now available for sale in Singapore.
Since its debut in 1997, the Prius has been an emblem of hybrid innovation and efficiency. Toyota has steadily improved upon the original hybrid formula, resulting in what we see here – the fifth generation Prius.
With the self-charging hybrid system, combined power output with the 1.8-litre naturally aspirated engine is 138hp, and the 0-100km/h sprint is dispatched in 9.3 seconds.
Of course, what’s paramount here is fuel economy, and Toyota boasts a claimed 4.1-litres/100km or 24.4km/litre efficiency, which is an 18% improvement over its predecessor.
Furthermore, its innovative self-charging hybrid capability means this full hybrid eliminates the need for external charging infrastructure, providing a hassle-free and convenient driving experience for users in Singapore.
This resonates with Singapore’s dedication towards sustainability and urban mobility.
“The Toyota Prius Hybrid has always been associated with innovation and fuel efficiency, and our newest version continues to uphold this reputation.
Not only have we continued this tradition of excellence, we reinvented the hybrid pioneer to enhance our consumers’ driving experience, while also contributing to a more environmentally sustainable future,” said Ng Khee Siong, Managing Director of Inchcape Singapore.
“The all-new Prius Hybrid is not just a head turner with a stunning exterior. It is a full package that comes along with cutting-edge hybrid technology. The fifth-generation Prius Hybrid symbolises a true hybrid reborn.”
No one can deny that this hybrid looks sharp. Aiding its sleek looks is the Electronic Rear Door Opener Switch, which allows for a clean aesthetic down the side while still keeping things easy to open the door.
Boot space is 370-litres, and can be further expanded by dropping its 60:40 split rear seatbacks.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are here, along with cutting-edge Toyota Safety Sense features.
Utilising camera sensors and millimetre-wave radar, the system detects potential collisions and engages automatic braking as needed to prevent accidents.
A comprehensive set of safety features, including Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Automatic High-Beam, and a robust configuration of seven SRS Airbags are also standard fit.
The Prius Hybrid will be available in seven colours, including the two new Ash and Mustard colour options. For more information, contact Toyota Singapore.
More to come when we drive it. Stay tuned.
