Toyota Brings Its New Prius To Paris, Says It Consumes Just 1 Liter Per 100 Km
PHOTO GALLERYKnown in other markets as the Prius Prime , the automobile is part of the Japanese car maker's goal to bring more emotion and livelier designs to its line-up.Measuring 4,645mm in length, 1,760mm in width and 1,470mm in height, the new Prius is longer, wider and lower than its predecessor.It's safe to say that the model's elongated overhangs and front fascia – governed by thin, ultra-compact four-LED (adaptive) headlamp units – give it a unique, distinctive look.One of the reasons the Prius looks like it does its due to its aerodynamic sculpted body.Every awkward crease and line is there to reduce fuel consumption, playing an important role in the vehicle's 0.25 drag coefficient.Toyota also aims to reduce its fleet's CO2emissions by 90 per cent by 2050, and t he new Prius represents an important step in that direction.
