Toyota’s Safety Sense package has also been added to the 4th gen Prius as a standard feature. It also monitors the air con temperature settings, external temperature and amount of sunlight, to calculate the most efficient operating parameters. By registering whether the seats are occupied or not, it’s able to adjust ventilation and heating performance accordingly, minimising airflow around empty seats. The auto air con is smarter, smaller and lighter, and it now uses less power than before. And, it also has a very efficient operating temperate due to lower viscosity engine oil that reduces internal friction and a dual cooling system. The hybrid system - the electric motor, transaxle, power control unit and hybrid batteries - is now smaller and lighter. Prius is all about efficiency and getting the most out of the Hybrid technology whilst using the least amount of power. This took me back to the ‘90s when vehicles were personalised by their owners where any plastic trim that could be easily removed was painted. There are more striking features on the inside with a large portion of the plastic trim painted white, offering a startling contrast that you’ll either love or loathe. The new auto bi-beam LED headlights with automatic levelling feature a single lens, helping to keep the bonnet height low, whilst also creating a striking appearance from the curved LED DRLs.
