V Prius will be one of first to offer Toyota Entune ™ entertainment system. For the first time in a Toyota car that uses this innovative system, the mobile smartphone to provide a richer driving experience with a fully integrated access to navigation, entertainment and information.
Toyota Entune made his debut for the first time, in practice, to support mobile applications, such as Bing, an open table, and movietickets.com as well as access to useful travel related services such as live weather, the traffic, fuel information (location and value), stocks, and sports. Entune Toyota leads the largest selection of music from alternative vehicles such as iheartradio of 750 + stations and Pandora's personalized music service.
Audio systems combined with better Entune function in class A, an advanced conversational voice recognition that allows the driver to concentrate on the road, eliminating the need to memorize thousands of voice commands. The system also allows reading and rereading audio text messages to return, with the ability to respond with "rapid response message" pre-set as ".'m Driving and respond later"
Sleek, streamlined and efficient.
When the balance of spaciousness, unique, sophisticated style, smooth and aerodynamic, the Prius against a low 0.29 coefficient of drag, which prevents the pack comfortable vehicle. This is a new vehicle was designed from the outset, in a form that has developed the Prius, rather than a stretched version.
Maintaining a low air resistance is the familiar triangular shape Prius, adapted to a larger size. A flat surface on the front of the vehicle by the front pillar is working with the next "aerocorners" the flow of air exceptionally clean. The smooth facade sheet is based on a carefully designed roof and the cabin, leading to a cabin in order to optimize the way, which acts to converge the air side and roof. Wheels and wheel covers are designed with the aerodynamic effects in mind. These and others also have the beneficial effect of eliminating wind noise.
Improving the cleanliness, the design of low wind resistance are materials that maintain the Prius v relatively light and easy to move. The door panels are foam injected polypropylene-covered table with light weight urethane to produce a weight gain of about 20 percent. Significant weight reduction is also achieved by using high-strength steel grades through the body along the body panels of aluminum and key systems.
High strength steel plates and beams used throughout the body structure to ensure a light but highly rigid chassis.
Also available, a Toyota first, is a panoramic sunroof resin with hints of sun power-retractable, providing an open atmosphere in the cabin with a 40 percent weight on the roofs of conventional glass of the same size and excellent thermal insulation properties. This improved thermal resistance means that the engine runs less to maintain comfortable room temperatures, increasing fuel efficiency. The sunroof is a shading system with electrically controlled based jam protection.
Available working LED headlights to improve visibility while reducing power consumption. They use projector lenses provide long term visibility and are designed to be virtually maintenance free service life of the vehicle.
Prius is an air conditioner with cooling capacity improved to handle a larger car. The system uses an electric compressor, while the air conditioner can operate without depending on the engine and component design improvements for better performance at peak cooling demand.
Proven Hybrid Synergy Drive System is now more diversified.
Hybrid Synergy Drive system for the Prius v is essentially the same as the current third-generation Prius. The system uses two high-performance engines, one of (80 hp) units of 60kW, which operates primarily in the power compact, lightweight, transaxle, and the other a smaller motor, which operates primarily in the supply current. Most of the motor control voltage is 650 volts DC. Proven and practical nickel-metal hydride battery is the same third-generation Prius liftback, but the cooling channel in the rear seat.
As with the current generation Prius cars, Hybrid Synergy Drive system, a series-parallel hybrid that can provide a power of two engines alone, or the engine alone or a mixture of both. A control unit controls the hybrid system so that optimum power is delivered as requested by the driver. It uses a start / stop and braking to save fuel and recharge the battery after a deceleration.
Hybrid Synergy Drive is built around a specially designed, efficient 98 hp 1.8-liter four-cylinder that runs on the Atkinson cycle and contributes to an overall power system of the 134th Key elements include an electric water pump does not require belts, and an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), which allows the engine to warm quickly, which reduces fuel consumption when the engine is cold. Compact and lightweight, the engine produces minimal noise and vibration. Sophisticated control valve, injector design, and other technologies to reduce emissions of allowing the Prius to qualify for the SULEV emission standards and Bin3 Tier2.
Four driving modes.
In addition to driving standard Prius too v drive system includes an eco-driving mode, an EV mode and power mode. Power mode provides improved midrange easy answer to dealing with the slopes and mountainous terrain. In EV mode, v Prius run on battery only for short distances and speeds below about a mile. Eco driving, engine management system gives priority to fuel economy, steering throttle response and reduce the power consumption of air conditioning.
Pitch and bounce handling, better ride, better handling.
A new feature Control, Pitch and Bounce, working with improved suspension to improve ride comfort and control. V Because the Prius is a car most likely to carry loads and passengers, front and rear suspension components have been redesigned to improve handling and ride quality. Coil-over before spring and the damping capacity increased significantly and a new top bracket is designed. Control plants was linked to the body front suspension and stabilizer bar is moved to feel more responsive steering and a very comfortable ride improved.
The rear design of the suspension torsion springs have been fitted with good listening and shock absorbers. The new rear suspension system is designed to help ensure stability and ride comfort, and has a weak point mounting to improve luggage space.
Bounce and pitch control with hybrid engine torque to improve comfort and control. The system, working with sensors and wheel speed in harmony with the suspension, helps eliminate the bounce and movement combine to improve occupant comfort. Because that controls balance and posture of the vehicle as a whole, but also works to improve handling response.
The standard wheels are 16 inches in diameter, with 17-inch wheels optional.
Cutting Edge Security.
