What It Is: The cutting edge adaptation of Toyota's Prius V hatchback found testing at the last area you'd think to discover a Prius: Germany's Nürburgring circuit. Area aside, the new V is a considerable takeoff from the present model, which is a plain, somewhat bulbous wagonlet that looks nearly vanlike. The V is sold close by the Prius' customary five-entryway liftback and minimal bring forth C structures, and this new form discard the old V's frump duds for a taller ride stature and a more SUV-like shape.
Why It Matters: Toyota has set the pace among half and halves since the Prius first arrived in the United States in 2000, however this new V demonstrates that possibly the organization has started to take after. In particular, the V's recently hybrid like position and shape appear to be comparative in idea to Kia's present Niro. Kia, as far as it matters for its, calls the front-wheel-drive Niro a hybrid. Lifting the wagonoid V and squaring it off should amp up its prevalence while presenting on it the desired "hybrid" name.
Stage: Just as the most recent Prius liftback changed to the crisp Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), along these lines, as well, will this V. The lighter, more advanced underpinnings ought to raise refinement, lessening street, wind, and tire clamor and giving a smoother ride on account of its new-to-Prius free back suspension. The present V, C, and pre-TNGA Prius managed with a torsion-bar raise pivot.
Basically, the new V likewise may have some visual interest. Raising the body off the ground and squaring the roofline influences it to resemble a totally extraordinary auto, while the back specifically looks sportier because of its inclining back window and thin taillights. From what we can make out through this present model's disguise, the front end will impart some familial qualities to the Prius liftback, including wrinkled headlights, a little pencil mustache of a grille, and a fish-mouth bring down admission.
Powertrain: There is little secret covering the 2019 Prius V's powertrain: Expect it to share the fuel electric Hybrid Synergy Drive framework with the present Prius liftback. That implies a 95-hp 1.8-liter four-chamber motor joined with 71-and 121-hp electric engine/generators (for 121 pull altogether) and a little lithium-particle battery pack. Toyota could hurl a curveball and introduce the bigger Toyota Camry cross breed's comparative however more capable design that uses a 2.5-liter four-barrel motor and beefier electric engines to create 208 drive. A module adaptation badged Prime could be in progress, with more electric-just driving reach to coordinate a similar alternative offered in the Prius liftback. In any case, anticipate that front-wheel drive will be the main alternative and stingy efficiency to be the essential objective.
Evaluated Arrival and Price: Considering how far along the improvement bend this Prius V model seems, by all accounts, to be, we expect it will make its introduction in the following a year as a 2019 model. Valuing should hold near the 2017 V's $27,570 opening ask, however there could be descending strain to counter the altogether more affordable Kia Niro.
