Review: The Prius V is the enormous and-tall Toyota Prius, the one with a gigantic secondary lounge and 34 cubic feet of payload space (67 cubic feet with the back seat collapsed). Also, attempt as we may, we can't inspire it to fit into a specific section. It's not an ordinary wagon, hybrid, or minivan, but rather it combines components of those vehicle composes.
A high rooftop gives the impression of roominess in the front seat. Slide back the 60/40-split back seat, and there's more legroom than in the greatest Lexus car, the LS460. The ride is supple, and little commotion enters the lodge. Traveler comfort is fantastic, which implies it's ideal for ride-sharing or taxi utilize—simply recall, it's very little enjoyable to drive.
The Prius V utilizes the cross breed drivetrain of the past age Prius. A productive 1.8-liter four-chamber motor sets with two AC engine/generators that are bolstered by a little nickel-metal-hydride battery. Heading to remain in EV mode, where the Prius is utilizing just the primary electric engine, requires a delicate foot on the quickening agent—delicate to the point that different drivers may wind up noticeably irritated. At the point when more power is required, the motor begins up instantly and flawlessly takes an interest in moving the auto through a planetary gearset balanced by the littler electric machine. At the point when the Prius V is ceased in rush hour gridlock, the gas motor close off to spare fuel.
Four trim levels are accessible. At the base rung is the Prius V Two (the One more likely than not been esteemed excessively essential sounding). The Two comes genuinely all around prepared, with programmed atmosphere control, Bluetooth telephone matching, a reinforcement camera, journey control, keyless begin, control windows and locks, texture seats, and 16-inch aluminum wheels. Climbing to the Three trim level includes a six-way control driver's seat, a sliding and leaning back seat, programmed headlights, and a 4.2-inch data show with route and an overhauled sound framework. Climbing to Four includes an eight-way control driver's seat, warmed front seats, manufactured calfskin upholstery, and guiding wheel controls. At last, for the individuals who need everything, there's the Five, which has LED headlights, haze lights, and 17-inch wheels. The Five—and just the Five—likewise offers a Technology bundle that incorporates versatile journey control, a crash cautioning framework, path takeoff cautioning, an additional huge sunroof, programmed high-bars, a JBL sound framework, and Safety Connect, Toyota's installed crisis help checking framework.
What's New: initially, there's very little that has changed since the Prius V landed for 2012. An invigorate in 2015 brought new front and back sashes, another infotainment framework, the 4.2-inch show between the checks on higher trim levels, and discretionary LED headlights in the best model. Under the skin, Toyota broadly updated and fortified the front crash structure and amplified the side-drape airbags to better secure the driver in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's little cover frontal crash test. While the pre-refresh Prius V got a Poor rating in this test, the 2015 Prius V improved and earned the best Good evaluating—and the Top Safety Pick + rating. Furnished with LED headlights, the Prius V Five additionally aced the IIHS's new front light test.
What We Like: Drive the Prius V to spare fuel, and you'll see it to be a quiet and harmless sidekick. There's little motor clamor, and even under coercion the exchange of the fuel motor and the electric engines is consistent. Ride quality is great on the standard 16-inch wheels, in spite of the fact that the 17-inch wheels on the best trim level present some cruelty. We adore the inside space and the enormous payload hold. What's more, if you quicken gradually and endeavor to boost efficiency, the Prius V will approach 40 mpg in blended driving. The EPA-evaluated efficiency figures are 44 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the interstate.
What We Don't Like: Even however the Prius V will trundle along at parkway speeds with no issue, it can feel underpowered. Drivers keen on fuel productivity most likely won't discover the Prius V's speeding up too moderate, yet there's no mixing up the V for a lively auto. In most driving it's sufficiently snappy, however short road on-ramps may cause some tension. In our past trial of the V, it quickened from zero to 60 mph in 10.3 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 17.8 seconds at 78 mph. We do wish that the V had a bigger battery pack to enable it to work all the more regularly in electric-just mode. Taking care of is secure, however the breaking points are genuinely low, and the tall body is touchy to crosswinds. We're not in affection with the outside plan, but rather contrasted and the crazy new consistent Prius, the relatively preservationist Prius V is a simpler pill to swallow for most. The individuals who need the additional wellbeing of the impact cautioning framework and the viable LED headlights are compelled to venture up to the best retire Five trim level; lesser Prius Vs can't be had with those highlights.
