Last time Hyundai killed anything with their hybrid vehicles is their mpg, I mean Sontata Hybrid does 35mpg? What does the non-hybrid version do, 15mpg? (info from fuelly.com) But still glad that somebody is doing something to develop new technologies except Toyota. Maybe we se lower prices due to competition?
Well considering it looks like the Gen 4, I'm gonna say PiP. Huh, anyone noticed that this spyshot is similar to the early 4G spyshots (before the delay was announced)? It has the same rounded rear door frame as the earlier prototypes. The 4G does not have rounded rear door frames. Also, the rear spoiler seems a bit higher than in the Gen 3 or Gen 4 (even taking into account the possibility of a fake height with the camouflage). Lastly, the headlights look a bit difference in that they have that aerodynamic bump like a Nissan LEAF.
I wonder...and hopefully Toyota does this. Detroit Show = show PIP Gen 2 November Show = Show new TNGA Prius V and Prius C December Show = Show Sienna TNGA Plugin Hybrid Well, we can always wish... I see no windshield wipers on the top and I heard there are some Gen 4 models without them as well. How does this work with rain and snow!? And why does the eco model have none, it barely saves any mpg...
The wiper delete on the Eco trim is part of other changes(no spare tire, Li-ion battery, etc.) that reduce the car's weight. Keep in mind it isn't just the wiper gone, but also the wiper motor, and fluid pump/valve, with the attending wires and tubing.
The same tech on the sloped rear window of our Sable; a wire defroster that might help with light snow, and nothing for heavier or rain. Such sedans have had really nothing to clear the rear window for, well, ever, and people have been fine with it. Even if they had something, it wouldn't help the people that wipe off just the windshield of snow and ice.
