Toyota Prius+ full hybrid MPV Reveals in Geneva

The Toyota has a new Prius+ makes its debut at the 2011 Geneva motor show, It is the first full hybrid model in Europe to offer seven seats.

Toyota also aims to bring Prius Plug-in to the global market in the second half of 2012 and in preparation for this around 600 vehicles are currently taking part in demonstration lease programmes worldwide, including 20 in London. Toyota did not release any specs on the model, so we are not sure what the new battery pack means in terms of range and performance. It is likely that the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive System (HSD) in this Prius+ features a close variation, if not being identical, to the one that goes into the Prius and Auris HSD models. That powertrain marries a 99 PS (73 kW / 98 bhp) 1.8-liter four-cylinder petrol unit to an electric motor that develops 81 PS (60 kW / 80 bhp). These projects are designed to assess every aspect of real-world use and verify the car’s overall environmental and technological performance before going on sales.
