Toyota Prius: Oriental reason
About the first hybrid vehicle, the world smiled. Meanwhile roll 8.5 million hybrid cars by Toyota on the worldâs roads, of which nearly four million Prius models. The new generation is expected to open a new chapter in the success story.
For comparison: Such was the predecessor of the Toyota Prius 3
Why not so? This one might ask if automaker present the new generation of a model. Of course, the new one has to be better than its predecessor. This is the logical constitution of any technical development. And you go then like the new Toyota Prius back three generations, one wonders why and how the first generation Prius could trigger a hybrid hype world like that.
The fourth generation Prius does not have much to do with the first edition. The design â well, it might be a little complacent. But on for taste. The charm of this kind Sanity aesthetics opens here in a rational Emotionslosigkeit. Toyota sees it quite differently. âThe new Prius is not just another green car. Its design and its high quality strengthen its emotional appeal and its striking presence on the road,â argues the company. And Prius chief developer Kouji Toyoshima goes one better: âThe new Prius is an emotional statement Its body design is innovative, emotional and maybe even a little sexy..â Here it is clear that we are dealing with two cultural worlds.
The Toyota-style is difficult to define because it will correspond in every detail of reason. The Prius buyers appreciate other values ââand want to demonstrate in particular their environmental awareness. Or just save when it comes to fuel consumption. The pure driving enjoyment expected no Prius customer. It is undoubtedly a sensible car that has to refuse sporty dynamics or distinctive driving pleasure. To get from A to B, there is no need for exuberant power reserves.
Nevertheless, you have to the new Prius certify that he has become the best Prius, the world has ever seen. This verdict is not too difficult after three generations. The agonizing rising predecessor noise during acceleration with a continuously variable transmission is barely perceptible. The noise corresponds now comfortable standard. The technicians have weggedämmt what could be insulated.
Less is more when Prius
While actually offer all other manufacturers from generation to generation more power, is Toyota the way back: A little less power than its predecessor, which is also the reason due to which at just 122 System Patent nevertheless feels sufficient power. In city traffic is no problem at all, quickly swim along. It comes to no feeling of inertia, but also not excessive momentum. 0 to 100 km / h in 10.6 seconds appear longer than the feeling suggests. The top speed of 180 km / h or not straight back up to date, when every middle class car is sealed off at 250 km / h. We are spoiled and know that on our highways is a section of 120 km / h hardly achievable and â honest â rather at 100 km / h.
An optimized to use sparingly towards hybrid vehicle wakes course expectations. In our test ride on Spanish motorways, the German road traffic image for the speed limit did not reproduce. But even with strong acceleration processes the average consumption did not rise above the five-liter mark. That we reasonably driving with four liters or would even topsy landed, is not a fantasy. Insofar here is the official average fuel consumption of 3.0 liters per 100 km at least within sight of reality. Certainly we could realize this value when the driver with discipline.
The revised suspension, fine-tuning of steering, springs and numerous assistants make driving the Prius 4 a pleasant employment. It is not a car, where you want to explore the boundaries of over- or understeer. Uneven road surfaces, the suspension could be a bit more comfortable, but that is no thicker minus point.
The driving experience also depends on the interior. Here Toyota scores with a futuristic cockpit and an interior that appears significantly than the previous quality. The operation of the navigation system, however, requires a certain learning process. We sometimes had the feeling that the car is faster than the Navi, which repeatedly indicated us the right way too late and we were forced to turn back. Maybe could remedy here faster processors. Of course, the Prius offers numerous high-tech features such as the Pre-Collision System, the brakes in an emergency by itself, an adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, high beam and traffic sign assistant per camera detection, a parking assistants, who now intended to drive smaller parking spaces automatically, head-up display and an inductive charger without cable for smartphone â provided that it can use this technology. The new Prius has in all of emotion quite his qualities. And certainly his fan base.
