4th generation coming 2015!

1 US Gal. =3.785 liters; 40 km/L x 3.785 = 151.4 km /1.6 = 94 mpg, or about 55 mpg US?
What's wrong here?

 

Yes. I think I could become accustomed to having that look in by garage. I especially like the rear view. Notice the rounded roof in the "masked spy pictures" is replicated in the above pictures/renderings. I think this just might be the G4.

Sorry Moderator ..... I'm still betting the G4 will be a 2015 (model year) introduced in calendar year 2014.... additionally, I'm still feeling it may be earlier in 2014 than later. My rationale is ..... I predict the model year 2014 will not be a received by the buying public with much enthusiasm.

It will be fun to see which of all the guesses is right.

 

Maybe all should move over to the "4th Generation Coming in 2015" thread. Pretty interesting!!!

 

Maybe it's me but externally not a major change.

 

I am hoping you're right, my lease will end in December 2014, well I can extend it for a few months thereafter.
Sometimes, they build more than one prototypes, this may be one of them, but I like what I see.

It was reported that next Gen Prius will have a retracted A pillar, and this one is as forward as current Gen.

 

Better be some massive changes inside. Afterall, that's what one sees everytime driving it.

 

THS The Hybrid System will have a major change I believe. So your right big change internally

 

What's interesting? Little bigger, little lighter, better mileage. Isn't that what everyone was expecting? There's almost no new information to get excited about.

 

Understand, we could all be way off base.

But truthfully, the depiction is about what I expect. I base that on the difference between the G2 and the G3. Updated, perfected, but still the Prius Icon. Incidentally, that icon has worked well for Toyota. Everyone recognized that now familiar shape. I don't see Toyota veering far from what has been a success.

On the other hand ..... (and I make no pretense of knowing what I am talking about) I wonder with a shape so reminiscent of the past, if there could be much in the way of improved aerodynamics????

 

Beats the hell out of a discussion of gas tank size and Toyo Proxies.

 

99 HP? I was hoping for a little more, new Lexus hybrids are getting 30% more power per displacement.

 

Yes, the forum may be Thai, but the magazine article is definitely japanese.

 

I think Ken @Japan can give us a hint of what's written there...

 

Definitely will have a 4wd option.

 

Hello Everybody,

It's nice to see, that 10 years later, some people that was writing on Priuschat are still there.
May be someone will remember me ... I was the someone that did the first simulation with the Wayne Braun software, the color table with detailed informations about the Prius 2 fuel consumption.

Today I am the "someone" that brought to Priuschat the Thai website link wit the Prius 4 pictures.

Nice to be back on Priuschat
Best regards from Switzerland to all of you,

Didier
150'000 km with the Prius

Hello Ken @japan,

It will be nice if you would find some time to translate the text present on the 4 pictures published on the Thai website.

Kind regards,

Didier

 

You are for sure the next gen Prius will have a 4WD/AWD option? Willing to take bets?
