Fourth generation Prius to debut at Frankfurt

News

Toyota plans to have a strong hybrid presence at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with the new fourth generation Prius making its world debut.

The new car will sit on Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA), which allows a number of different sizes and styles of vehicle to share a number of components and parts, cutting engineering costs. Powertrain details will be unveiled at the show.

Along with the Prius, the new RAV4 Hybrid and the Toyota C-HR will also be on display. The RAV 4 will feature a 2.5 litre petrol engine in the front and an electric motor mounted on the rear axle, with an economy of 56.6 MPG and emissions at 116 g/km.

The C-HR is a family sized crossover and Toyota has promised it will reset ‘the standards for fuel economy and emissions’, with further details to be announced at the show.
