The new Toyota Prius will carry the brand-new TNGA architecture. It looks larger than the current model, but no official specifications have been released yet. It is said that the new car model will have a better thermal energy efficiency (up to 40 percent) as well, which is considered the highest for a production vehicle ever.
Also, according to Car and Driver's latest blog post, buyers can expect the new Prius to be offered in two models — a regular hybrid and a plug-in hybrid, which green car fans will definitely love.
The 2016 Toyota Prius is said to have lithium-ion batteries for regular models, and the plug-in version, on the other hand, will include a bigger lithium-ion pack that allows up to 30 miles driving using electricity only.
The Toyota Prius model is popular among the hybrid car enthusiasts and currently on its fourth-generation since its released in 2009. It got sold out in Japan and in the United States during the time that the fuel prices where sky-high. With its newer face-lift and hybrid improvement, the Toyota Prius 2016 will surely be a hit on its debut next week.
