How I live, what I choose to put in my personal space reflects who I am, opens a window to what I’m about.

For over a million people all over the planet, the Prius is part of their world, making it the number one full production hybrid.

The Prius reflects more of the things you want in a car and less of what you don’t want in a car.

The Prius gives you more of what you want:

- More technology- More performance - More space- More versatility

Prius. I’m in.

And less of what you don’t want:

- Less CO2 emissions- Less fuel consumption- Less weight- Less noise

The Prius is available in the 1.8 top-of-the-range Exclusive model.

The Prius is a roomy family car. A modern- looking, technologically advanced car. A “green” car. A fuel efficient car. A car of the future.

It’s everything you want in a car. The Prius reflects innovation and leadership that’s truly incomparable.

What surrounds me, reflects me.

A single vision led to the creation of the intelligent technology that powers the Prius:

How can we create a car that does more and less at the same time? That offers more performance with less petrol? That offers more space with less weight?That gives us more of what we want and takes less of what the planet has?

The Hybrid system is testament to what the Prius is all about – innovation and leadership that results in exceptional fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions without leaving performance and an exciting, powerful drive behind.

How Hybrid WorksTake all the advantages of a petrol engine and an

electric motor and create a new type of engine that offers the best of both. That’s the principle behind Hybrid. Petrol engines are inefficient at low speeds. Electric cars have a limited range due to the battery constraints. Hybrid solves this by automatically switching between the petrol engine and the electric motor when each is at its best for maximum performance and efficiency.

Drive with Zero PetrolAt low speeds and in traffic, the Prius is powered by the electric motor so no petrol is used and the drive is extremely quiet. Even when the petrol engine is engaged, the drive is still luxuriously quiet.

* Combined cycle

More Power to You As the speed increases the petrol engine kicks in to produce more power. When a sudden burst of acceleration is needed, in overtaking for instance, the power of the petrol engine combines with the power of the electric motor to create a maximum surge of power.

Recharge Your BatteryAt cruising speed, the petrol engine drives the wheels and this motion recharges the electric motor’s battery. When braking, the petrol engine switches off and the car recaptures that energy from the braking system to recharge the electric motor’s battery.

The petrol engine will also recharge the electric motor’s battery at any speed if the charge level requires it.

All this means that the Prius never needs to be plugged in, has fuel economy better than a diesel engine at 4.1 l /100 km*, goes from 0 –100 km/h in 10.4 seconds AND cuts CO2 emissions to 94 g/km.

The Prius achieved the best fuel efficiency in the world for a mass produced vehicle. The achievement represents part of Toyota Motor Corporation’s numerous and ongoing efforts to improve fuel efficiency through advanced vehicle development. The Prius now has a fuel efficiency which exceeds standards by more than 25% and emissions of both nitrogen oxides and non-methane hydrocarbons have also been reduced to levels 75% lower than its 2005 predecessor.*

* When compared to other petrol-powered passenger vehicles as of March 2009 as surveyed by Toyota Motor Corporation and as measured using the 10-15 test cycle of the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT).

The Prius not only makes going green easy but exciting and fun.

Vehicles are key to our physical freedom. They give us ultimate free rein to go where we want, when we want. Toyota wants to make sure that we can keep enjoying the freedom that cars give us in a way that won’t negatively impact the environment.

Toyota calls this Sustainable Mobility and it is this philosophy that powers our thinking so that we can keep driving the vehicles we love in a way that works in harmony with the environment for the long run. It means getting the needs of people and of the planet on the same page. The Prius is living proof of this commitment.

Toyota’s Environmental Action Plan influences and informs every part of Toyota operations – from designing new vehicles to manufacturing processes and choice of materials to end-of-life recycling programmes.

It’s all about maximising the joy of driving while creating as little impact as possible.

The Prius is all about new innovative technologies that not only enhance the driving experience but also keep the needs of the environment firmly in mind. The sunroof of the Prius, which was designed to house solar cells, is evidence of this spirit. This ingenious idea uses the roof to harness the sun’s energy to power the air conditioner and ventilation fan. The solar ventilation system, which is a Toyota-first and the remote control air conditioning system helps keep your vehicle cool whilst it’s parked in scorching hot weather so that you can return to a cool vehicle. This is done by using solar generated electricity to discharge hot air from the interior to the outside cooling down the vehicle so it can stay cool and pleasant even when parked directly in the sun. The system also allows you to save on fuel consumption because of the use of the solar energy. The end result is that you can keep cool while making as little impact to the environment and global warming as possible.

Toyota is serious about combating the problems associated with waste tyres in the country and therefore has taken up its producer responsibility as defined by the new Waste Tyre Management Act of 2008.

Waste Tyre Registration Number: TPREG0031GAU

It’s easy to look the other way but it’s more interesting to be involved and be part of the solution.

At low speeds and in traffic when only the electric motor is in use, the drive is incredibly quiet.

Serene and elegant yet crammed with mindblowing technology and “smart” space, the interior of the Prius stays true to its hybrid spirit by delivering the best of both worlds.

The Prius is definitely an all round five star vehicle, and to prove this it has a remote air conditioning system, which uses electricity from the HV battery to remotely activate the compressor motor and operate the cooling system while the vehicle is turned off.

The remote air conditioning system activates the cooling system in the vehicle even when outside by simply clicking the button on the remote, this keeps the vehicle’s temperature cool so that the occupants can come back to a cool vehicle.

The Prius is roomy enough to seat five with lots of legroom yet has lots of small, custom-built spaces for everyday things like sunglasses, coffee cups and CDs. The “smart” space design means that the seats can fold down into four different configurations to make the space flexible enough to hold everything a family needs, from groceries to luggage to golf bags.

In a world that buzzes with non-stop noise, the inner space of the Prius is truly inviting and other-worldly.

The Prius “thinks” like a driver and passenger – it is

intuitive about what people want from their car.

The Prius understands that people don’t just drive in a car – they talk, listen to music, stay on top of the news, read maps, they even eat in them or learn a language. A car has become a mobile living space, not just a way to get you, your family and your stuff from one place to the next.

So, with these things in mind, the Prius delivers pure bliss with its technology.

The Satellite Navigation System also acts as a hard drive so that MP3s can be downloaded and your Prius can be clutter-free.

Bluetooth links your cellphone with the dashboard display – your contacts and calendar are right there in front of you to make hands-free calls and organising your life that much easier.

Not only does this kind of understanding make driving that much more enjoyable, it also makes it safer.

The Prius features the Smart Entry and Smart Start System as standard equipment because there’s nothing worse than digging for your keys in a dark

parking lot. When carrying your Prius key, the doors unlock when you grasp the outside door handle and lock when you press the Touch Sensor in the handle. This system also turns on the ignition by simply pushing the Power Button.

In preventing accidents, every fraction of a second counts. A Heads-up display projects the speed-ometer onto the windscreen directly in front of the driver so that the driver can keep his or her eyes on the road without having to look down at the console. Fighter pilots use a similar type of technology where losing attention, even for a split second, is simply not an option.

An Emergency Brake Signal automatically flashes the brake lights during sudden braking to warn trailing vehicles of an emergency and therefore reduces the danger of a rear end collision. The system is activated when the driver presses on the brake pedal while travelling at speeds over 55 km/h and the car decelerates at a rate of over 7 m/s2. In other words, the system is activated with sudden braking.

Intelligent Park Assist helps drivers with steering into a parking spot when they need to parallel park or reverse. The driver merely has to check the surroundings for any objects and control the speed with the brakes.
