The new Toyota Prius
Bristling with kit, the new Toyota Prius also adds value for money to the package
As Toyota plans to introduce full hybrid technology across its core model ranges, it continues to refine the quality, performance and owner-appeal of Prius, still the world’s best-known and best-selling hybrid vehicle.
