Toyota was one of the first major car manufacturers to bet on the hybridisation, back in 1997 when he launched the internal market the first version of the Prius, in 2000 landed in the other world markets. After 14 years the effort of the Japanese manufacturer for the eco-sustainability continues unabated, even at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show (3-13 March), the House will propose the three ellipses in a dedicated stand at the forefront of two world premieres the field of hybrid: the Yaris and the new MPV Concept HSD Prius +.
HSD concept with the Yaris, Toyota anticipates the idea of a B-segment car equipped with sophisticated full hybrid, so as to enable more customers to enjoy a car with these features. The city car hybrid can count on the hybrid system does not permit to march exclusively in electric mode, it always needs more of the proper auxiliary - however small - of the internal combustion engine.
Aesthetically, the HSD anticipates the future forms of the Yaris in Europe that we will see, except for some unusual design solutions such as headlamps incorporating new LED lights. The new model will be assembled at the Toyota plant in Valenciennes, France, and the arrival on our market is planned for 2012 at a price that would be particularly competitive for the type of car, or about € 18,000.
Event in Geneva, next to the Yaris, we will find the Prius +, the first minivan with seven seats and hybrid technology, also this car also marks the birth of the Prius sub-brand, which will bring a whole range of hybrid vehicles. Despite the Prius + provides a significant increase of space and seats for passengers, not sacrifice any of the features that have made the fortune of the Prius sedan, such as operating economy and respect for the environment.
The system should use the Prius + plug-in lithium ion battery that should allow a range of about 20 km with only the electric charge, traveled at a maximum speed of 100 km / h. Toyota along the way without delay so that the will to introduce a hybrid version for every model in its range within the next ten years, a goal more than possible given that the short range of the Japan can count on four hybrid models: Prius, V Prius, Yaris and Auris HSD HSD.
