GROSSE POINTE NEWS, AUGUST 18, 2011 AUTOS ng Prius family grows with new V oyotaisaddinga T second body style to its gas-hybrid Prius brand. The 2012 Prius vis expected to be available the last quarter of this year. A price has not been announced. The newcomer looks very much like the current Prius hatchback, but taller, wider and longer and boasts big-time cargo space. It was designed to attract young families interested in the technology and fuel economy of a Prius but who require more interior room, according to Ed Larocque, national marketing manager. "This is the firstnew member of the extended. Prius family," he said. "Prius debuted in Japan 14 years ago; 97 percent of Priuses sold in the last decade are still in service." Toyota, he added, has six "entirely new," hybrid gas-electric vehicles coming in the near future. The new v — as in versatile — uses the same hybrid synergy system on the present Prius, which includes a 118-liter fourcylinder gasoline engine. It's built on a stretched Prius platform. Larocque said the Prius v has 58 percent more cargo space than the Prius — and competes with compact SUVs. 'Americans need more cargo space," he said. Like the Prius, the newcomer comes in fivetrim packages, conveniently labeled I — V A A line of Prius v "wagons." rear backup camera is standard, said Toyota spokesman The Prius v is longer than the current Eriusiour^door hatchback and offers Jots more cargo space. KirkForsht. So are reclining rear seats covered with a hard plastic to stand up better than carpeting or upholstery when supporting extra cargo. A panoramic see-through roof made of a resin material is available. Tiny fins atop the headlights increase the aerodynamics of the Prius v, as does a rear spoiler concave on its underside. Six inches longer than the Prius and three inches taller, the Prius v is expected to get 44 miles per gallon in city driving, 40 mpg on the highway and a combined average of 42 mpg. A seven-passenger Prius v is available in Europe but not in the United States, Larocque said. A smaller Prius c — for city — comes onstream the first half of 2012 and a plug-in Prius electric arrives the first quarter of next year. "Prius future sales may someday rivalthose of Camry," Larocque said. Jenny King is an automotive writer whaJives in,, theQty.. of.
