If you told any car enthusiast 15 years ago the Toyota Prius would turn out to be a stunning beauty that is capable of sliding around a track and up on two wheels, they would call you crazy. Well, the all-new fifth-gen Prius is here and all those naysayers 15 years ago are probably gobbling up their words. The hybrid sedan has been recognised with the 2024 World Car Design of the Year, beating out 70 other competitors for the win. This brings the total industry awards and accolades collected by

The 5th-generation Toyota Prius debuted in late 2022 featuring superb looks, new powertrains, and an updated TNGA platform that vastly improved handling - creating the most driver-focussed Prius ever, in contrast to the efficient runabouts all its predecessors were. That said, you wouldn't peg it to do a fast lap around a racing circuit, would you? That didn’t stop Top Gear UK from trying though, and by golly-gosh, did it look spectacular. In a recent review, they set out on the longest Uber rid

The PHEV variant makes 223 PS (combined system output) and is capable of sprinting from 0-100 km/h in a rather un-Prius-ly 6.7 seconds. Without plug-in charging capability, lesser variant 2.0-litre models produce a combined system output of 193 PS, which Toyota s

After units of it had been spied, Toyota has officially unveiled the all-new generation of the Toyota Prius C which is also called the Aqua in Japan. The second-generation 2021 Toyota Prius C follows up its popular predecessor which sold more than 1.87 million units with a practical hatchback design. The all-new Prius C is the first vehicle in the world to use a high-output bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery as an electric drive battery. According to Toyota, this new battery promises to give improv

The all-new 2021 Toyota Prius C, otherwise known as Aqua, has been spotted in Japan. The new Toyota Prius C is expected to debut mid-July, which is less than a month away. Like the Japanese/European Toyota Yaris, the new Prius C will be underpinned by the TNGA-B platform. Creative311 reports that the new Prius C will adopt a foot-type parking brake, rather than an electric parking brake that is able to support auto brake hold feature. Powertrain details are unconfirmed at the moment. Though it’s
