Review Toyota Prius 2016 : More Aggressive Design
Toyota faces something of a crossroads with the upcoming fourth-generation Prius. The game-changing hybrid's iconic shape represents more than just smart fuel-saving motoring to its loyal owners. For better or worse, the Prius carries social and cultural currency beyond its practical nature, and to reinvent the model is to invite peril. The 2016 Toyota Prius will need to walk a line between loyalists and skeptics.
The new Prius is expected to boast a 1.8L 4 cylinder engine along with an electric motor, with the unit producing an estimated 150hp. The electric motor should be smaller and lighter than what is normally encountered in previous models. With fuel consumption estimated at 56mpg, the 2016 Prius will utilize an expensive type of lithium ion battery designed to hold charge for much longer periods of time, delivering fuel consumption of about 60mpg.
The new Prius looks, well, interesting. The new design is a departure from past generations. The front looks noticeably more aggressive, enhanced in large part by the radical, curved LED headlights that extend down to the bumper. The hood is also lower and it even has a pair of creases that move down to the middle, blending in with the character lines from the headlamps, meeting just short of the Toyota badge.
The release was expected to happen this coming spring but was rescheduled. Reliable sources hinted that the 2016 Toyota Prius will be out late in 2015. It’s expected to be available to customers early in 2016 starting at a price of around US$ 110,000 and 115,000. Let us wait and see if the 2016 Toyota Prius will be a world-beater.
