Just got word...Prime will be available in 2 options: base and technology. No prices yet and only 5 colours: Red, Titanium Glow, Magnetic Grey, Blue magnetism, and blizzard. No further information on release dates.
Heated steering wheel will be standard. JBL Audio will be offered (is not offered on Gen 4). Any word on interior colour choices? Also, no silver? That's weird.
Probably not. The cost of adding the solar roof is hard to justify in places with relatively inexpensive electricity. What I'd like to know is if the Technology option is more like Premium or Advanced in the US.
No. We typically mirror the US options. Advanced. It's mentioned in the media release back in October The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime Technology (starting MSRP: to be announced later) adds an incredible set of advanced features. These include a premium audio system with a larger, higher definition multimedia screen, the Qi wireless charging system for compatible personal electronics, a full-colour Head-Up Display, Intelligent Parking Assist, rain-sensing wipers, the Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert safety systems, LED fog lamps, and more. It also adds premium features such as Softex leather seating, step lamps, touch sensor locks on the front passenger door and rear hatch, and more. For completeness: The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime (starting MSRP: to be announced later) is very well equipped. Technology highlights include a 7” Display Audio System with SIRI Eyes Free, navigation, climate control with automatic temperature control, heated steering wheel with Softex cladding, dual 4.2” multi-information displays, an eco-drive monitor, the Toyota Smart Key System with Push Button Start, and more.
