Toyota has released a new image of the upcoming Toyota Prius MPV, a longer and taller new addition to the Prius family, set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2011. We don’t know at the moment whether the new Prius family member will have 7-seats or whether it will merely be a “Prius Plus” for those who want larger interior and luggage space.
The latest bit of info is this new teaser image which shows us how the dashboard’s in-car entertainment and climate control area will look like. This shot is from a US market left hand drive car, since the full colour entertainment LCD panel is playing a American radio station. The gearknob and the power button looks similar to the one found in the Prius.

Superb
Most likely 7 seaters….there’s the tagline ‘entertainment for the entire family’
yea.. good option for low income owners (alza,exora).
hope they bring to malaysia :D
150k in malaysia? :D
prius is less than RM80,000 in Japan, US and UK (with 10% tax in UK).
why after 10% tax here, the price jump to RM140,000? RM60k profit?
bro, 3 factors we must heavily consider if we are operating car business the way UMW does:-
1. the differences of an open market and stiff competition in japan, us and uk compare to malaysia (vios is still not cheaper than persona because of price control)
2. low volume in terms of sales due to price contrl by m’sia govt
3. increased profit margin to cover after sales prospect by UMW due to low volume sales.
they are all inter-related. UMW has been in this line for too long; they just cant pull out that easy.
boring..
overpriced means overpriced… simply as that.
what is not over priced in Malaysia? house, food, Proton, Perodua…… the list goes on.
Agreed. Nothing in Msia not overptice. If they not declare the price increase…they will increased it quitely…no one notice!
Hey bro~~ I have got this information for u to know..
Toyota.. Honda….. DO sell @ higher price at Japan when u compare it to USA.
Go search and see…

Here’s my point.. There’s basically no price control by GOV..
IT’s the manufacturer themselves understand the marketing strategy in Malaysia..
They think their car is priced abit higher then normal…since they think it’s worth that price in Malaysia.
here it is:
Myvi @ rm50k…
for sure a vios should be priced higher then it.. Rm70k++..
Then the list goes on..
Or u say Myvi can be priced lower? Hell no way..even VW Polo as an entry level car @ europe is selling at about RM50k..
this type of buyers’ mentality like you made toyota loughing all the way to bank. do you realized that some variant of prius price even lower than civic hybrid?
Honda Civic Hybrid not selling any more…I just check at honda showroom yesterday.
Nice, if sell 150k sure hot cake! :-)
how much here ah
so ugly
Ur comment are “so ugly”
No class comment from a person without Class !
even ur name is ugly :-)
Awesome, hope it will launch it in Malaysia soon ! can’t wait to see it.
the dash looks better then the sedan prius..
Detroit Auto Show in January 2010
*2011
set to debut at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2010
– typo error on the year?
Can’t wait :P
exora re-badged
My fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot.
nice, hopefully its below 2.0 or otherwise we wont see it here as prices will balloon up….
The glovebox looks quite outdated ( handle ), and I’ll hoping this new Prius MPV will looks sportier and also sharpier than Prius, Pruis looks quite soft and dumb.
had tested the 1.8 version. Superb handling & comfort. Think of getting one next year as heard that there might be some pricing changes once the Thailand assembly one come into Boleh Land
now already 7-8 month waiting period. but can shorten the wait with additional supply from toyota thailand soon.
it look similar to new toyota wish jap-spec (look at the side front angle) very very look like toyota wish
looks kinda nice the dashboard (well at least the centre of the dashboard that is)
proton should rebadge this to exora hybrid :D
Wishful thinking @ work
Proton already have Exora E-REV why must rebadge this?
Hence it can achieve 2 liters per 100 km.
wow, got 2 din entertainment. sure got gps
Lovely, would like to see that soon in Malaysia. But expecting the car to be priced below 150K is rather a fat chance. Looking at circa 180K.
interior looks decent,not bad
Nice design. I would love to own a Prius. But I think the MPV should be rather expensive if it comes to Malaysia!
it is small for a full size family MPV in the U.S.
even the current prius is considered a normal sedan.
this one might just be a station wagon…
As for myvi we got elongated version named alza, so this elongated prius a.k.a. prius on steroid should be name priusa.
I think it gonna be a next generation wish with prius engine
It’ll be a cold day in hell if we get this dash on the local Prius or even the Prius Minivan.. they’ll just give you the idiot dashboard and charge the full price anyway..
i got the same image as the first picture when i put my avanza behind/side a prius…
Paul & the gang,
Got this when try to search the Prius MPV to be launched. Look very like the 7 seaters design. http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2010/10/spy-photos-2012-toyota-prius-mpv.html
Looks promising in Malaysia. I can’t wait to see this MPV in Malaysia!
Haha malaysians n their mentality. I am beginning to believe that there loads of Msians who r happy to pay exorbitant prices for a piece of crap just to show that they can afford it n are above others. Nobody cares if u drive a bmw in the uk but it is surely a bog deal in Msia coz of the price. Of course govt is the main culprit but equally some snobbish msians are also the contributing factor. Cheers
smug faced treehuggers driving around in their overpriced hybrids and EVs…
Tail light looks like Toyota Wish..
