Information on the new Prius were published by Gazoo and there is an automatic translation from Japanese below. The key characteristics are:
- 1.8L engine
- MG2 reduction gears like RX400h and later models
- Cd is 0.25
- Solar ventilation system using solar panel
- etc etc
"As for TOYOTA, January 11th (day) from 25 days (day) <> to, 2009 North American international automobile show which is held in the American Detroit (the Detroit motor show), the new model pre- mortar was exhibited.
The pre- mortar, as in 1997 since starting the sale, the hybrid car of the world is led/read from advanced characteristic of the car which begins preponderant environmental efficiency as the worldwide first mass production hybrid car, in addition to Japan, focusing on North America in the world continued favorable sale at the country & area of 40 or more, the sum total sale quantity came carrying out big role even in spread of the hybrid car e.g., approximately 1,200,000 unit is done breakthrough (2008 12 end of the month point in time).
The new model pre- mortar which becomes 3rd generation, with you aim toward the compatibility at the level where “the enjoyment which it runs” “preponderant environmental efficiency” is higher, the motor and the hybrid system “THSU which combines the reduction gear (Note 1)” you load in the 1.8L gasoline engine which 90% or more of the whole system new was developed. In addition, by the fact that it improves the energy efficiency of altogether vehicle such as high aerodynamic efficiency, fuel economy efficiency of worldwide highest level and power efficiency like the 2.4L car are actualized. Furthermore, the “solar ventilation system” and the “remote air conditioner system” and “touch tracer display” and so on the advanced equipment which has high functionality is adopted, the pre- mortar which leads/reads age (with Latin “beginning”) suitable progressive evolution is accomplished into name.
The new model pre- mortar, Japan in the start, consecutively, at worldwide each country has planned the sale each area from this year middle of May.
Furthermore, with this motor show TOYOTA booth, [vuenzua], back hole hybrid and [hairandahaiburitsudo] etc were exhibited other than the new model pre- mortar, small size EV concept “FT-EV (Future Toyota - Electric Vehicle)” in addition to.
Note 1: THSU: TOYOTA Hybrid System U
Pre- mortar (the North American specification) Summary of new model pre- mortar is as follows.
1. Preponderant hybrid efficiency It assures the small size light weight conversion of unit of high improvement of efficiency, and the motor and the invertor etc of the ▽ engine and the trance axle, loading the motor and the hybrid system “THSU” which combines the reduction gear in the 1.8L gasoline engine which developed 90% or more of the whole system anew. In addition, worldwide top-level aerodynamic efficiency (CD value 0.25), altogether vehicle such as decrease of the electric power consumption with the LED conversion of the lamps with the multiplier effect of improvement of energy efficiency, fuel economy efficiency of worldwide highest level and 2.4? Actualizing the power efficiency like the car
You consider, even in utility fuel economy improvement such as indication of the fuel economy information which begins the hybrid system indicator within ▽ center meter and adoption of the “echo mode switch”
2. The point of times the equipment function which goes The Toyota first “solar ventilation system which uses the electric power which generates electricity with the solar panel which is loaded onto the ▽ moon roof, ventilates the interior” With the switch of the ▽ smart key, from the external air conditioner operation the worldwide first “remote air conditioner system which is possible” The cockpit which actualizes high visibility operativity e.g., the worldwide first “touch tracer display” which indicates the place where the ▽ finger touches in center meter is adopted,
To 3.進 the basic efficiency which is converted
As the wide interior space is created with the thin-shaped conversion and the like of the ▽ front seat seat back, by the fact that miniaturization, and arrangement of the hybrid battery are modified, luggage capacity from the current model car approximately 30L enlargement The ▽ pre- crash safety system (ultra high frequency radar system) in addition to new setting, pursuing class *3 top-level safe efficiency e.g., S-VSC and 7 SRS air bags, active headrest (the driver's seat suicide seat) it equips,
With the second look at the ▽ platform, as smooth riding comfort, the straight advancing stability where at high speed is superior is actualized, actualizing the silent characteristic which excels by the fact that the acoustic material damping material is arranged effectively in the high rigid body
Adopting the echo plastic which decreases environmental load for interior material such as ▽ front seat cushion and scuff plate"
