Anyone planning on trading THEIR 3rd Gen in for a 4th Gen

i'm in for the first new pip, but thats a year away. all wheel drive? i wonder how that will affect mpg's.

 

i suppose it will be better than non hybrid, but after the hyhy, i'm not sure it will be worth it.

 

For the love of Pete, WHY would you want a Prius in AWD? Toyota is already putting the hybrid systems in other platforms...it'd be smarter just to buy a dedicated AWD and opt for the hybrid model.

 

they've been pushing the subie hybrid on tv, and i saw one at home depot, nice looking car.

 

The short answer for me is that I want a wimpie AWD in a strong hybrid rather than the reverse.

 

Mostly probably. Our 2014 is not a year old yet and we'll have over 25,000 miles on it before it is. I'm not concerned about the mileage, but I want to try to keep up with technology. I won't trade in 2016, but maybe 2017 depending on what they have to offer. Since we live in Phoenix and don't drive in snow, I see no need for AWD. Unfortunately, Toyota has a bad habit of offering stuff like that in a package that has other things I might want, so we'll just have to wait and see.

 

I am planning on getting the gen 4 as soon as it comes out. I am almost at 200,000 miles on my 2010 and it is going to my son as soon as I get a new one.

Snow and ice. A prius with AWD and still gets 50 mpg. I don't know of another car that will do that.

 

Depends on what the Gen IV "actually" turns out be.

 

Assuming one with the AWD option will still get 50 mpg.

I'm actually hoping for auto-folding side mirrors, power adjustable passenger seat, memory driver's seat, more travel on the telescoping steering wheel, stronger satellite antenna and enhanced navigation with cheaper and more frequent USB-based map/POI updates.

 

Agree, depends on what it has and what it looks like. AWD would be good on our winters and great if it could incorporate 4 wheel regen braking.
IF it has the angry street punk grill Toyota has so fallen in love with, I may pass for that reason alone. That look has been on the German cars for 20 years and I have always hated it.

 

I'm considering trading in my RAV4 and my Prius for the new Hybrid RAV4.

 

Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV


Peugeot 3008 diesel hybrid


Audi e-tron


The rest of the world are enjoying these 4x4 vehicles and the Outlander is the European best selling low emission vehicle. i think Toyota are very much aware of what the competition are offering and belatedly trying to catch up.

 

what are their mpg's on the u.s. test?

 

Braggart.

 

Two are plug in's so I guess they vary and the diesel hybrid matches the Prius consumption under the EU test so will presumably match it under the US test.

They're all 4wd.
