The Toyota Prius+, as what it is known in Europe or Prius V in America, has received a mild update for the 2015 model year. Changes include updated styling – that brings it more in line to current design cues, added equipments and colour choices.
An updated front end consists of a new upper grille with the Toyota badge now sitting further out in front. New cylindrical projector headlight assemblies contain LED technology for both the low and high beam. Finer details include a contrasting black and chrome plating in the headlight modules.
Faint traces of an ‘X’ design is present on the front end due to the lower grille adopting a trapezoidal shape that’s currently being featured on the latest Toyota models. At both corners, revised air intake designs with the LED daytime running lights seamlessly integrated complete the changes.
Biggest update on the rear is the adoption of new taillight designs, which feature a “light guide” treatment and red inner lenses. At a quick glance, the design does seem to echo the rear light design of the latest Subaru Forester. Other updates include a new license plate trim and a revised bumper with a diffuser.
Updates for the interior include a dark silver metallic finish for the driver’s switchgear and air-conditioning dial control as well as chrome finish on the door handles. A new 4.2-inch colour TFT information screen sits on the upper housing of the centre console, providing data on fuel consumption and such.
The updated Prius is fitted with the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system which includes a touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity and a reverse camera. An upgrade is available – dubbed the ‘Toyota Touch 2 Go’, which provides satellite navigation, live traffic information and text-to-speech functions amongst many more.
As for added equipment, electric seat adjustments and Intelligent Park Assist are now offered. An emergency brake signal – which triggers all side indicators in the event of sudden and heavy braking, is also featured along with Hill-start Assist Control.
The updated Toyota Prius+ is Euro6 emissions compliant and comes with two new colours for the European market, ‘Dark Sherry metallic’ and ‘Attitude Black mica’. New sound absorption material has been added into the rear compartment to improve NVH levels.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
umw would probably sell it more expensive than their alphard…and with 2 airbags
Toyota Prius Alpha:
With tax = RM250K
No tax = RM120K
You are wrong!
With Tax 250k
No tax 220k
UMW is damn greedy
Yeah, no chance of this coming here since people would buy a BMW F30 or Audi A4 for less money.
20 sen more hike in the fuel price… Everyone will be eyeing for this Prius V.
I have more inquiry and booking on Prius/Prius C since the price hike these few days.
It is a shame that Toyota does not attempt to CKD the Prius/PriusC to take advantage of the CKD tax exemption. Otherwise, Same L0rrr will be swimming in my money.
In the meantime, I’ll wait for the Honda City Hybrid or other alternative hybrids to come in Malaysia.
Simply Malaysia market is not worth the investment. Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive is not some soft/premature hybrid like Honda IMA. You don’t get hot air while waiting for traffic light.
Go enjoy your Honda Hybrid, while you can’t even get a spare tyre in the car.
Honda and Toyota, sushi cars rock!
Proton Hybrid?? a big LOL!
Not if it were assembled in Malaysia and UMW wasn’t so greedy… cause this car can be tax free.
Finally it doesn’t look exactly like a shoe anymore.
From the epic Kawasaki Ninja from the previous post to this ultimate borefest…
to me it looks like Toyota Wish.
Rear view look alike Toyota Caldina. Agree?
its nothing like the caldina….that car was awesome….except it was automatic only
ya, i agree, it does looks like toyota wish!
OMG the rear lights look like puke!
I’m puzzled, yet curious. How did you train yourself to puke like that? XD
This is the Prius V in Australia which is the 7 seater. That is why the rear is different.
Because everyone here supports Korean product, that’s why good selling cars in Japan cannot import to Malaysia!!
I really support people that buys new Hyundais, specifically.
Afterall, 1 year later, they will trade it in my yard for less than 1/2 the price
Everyone here supports Korean product? We need a reality check here.
250K is damn cheap.
I support Proton because I am poor, forgetful and forgiveful the most important is I am easy to be con.
front looklike starwars troopers….
Still Fugly….
Prius becoming Toyota Wish?…eww
