    2019 Toyota Prius will be restyled to look more like Prime: report

    OG Japanese Source (Japanese only): アクの強すぎるデザインの現行プリウス、2018年末に大幅リニューアル：旬ネタ｜日刊カーセンサー


    • Negative feedback on current Gen 4 design
    • How to update the look without compromising aerodynamics and other engineering features built into the Prius
    • The suggestion to update the styling to match the PHV was not approved within Toyota as they wanted to keep the distinction between the regular Prius and the PHV/Prime (otherwise Toyota ends up with the same issue as the Gen 3 vs. PiP)
    • Same headlight as Prime - moved turn signals/indicators to the corner of the bumper like the Prime
    • At the rear, the Z-shaped taillights have been replaced by a C-shaped taillight design, similar to Prime
    • D-4S direct injection technology arrives in the engine (updated version of the same engine - not a new one)
    • December 2018 arrival
