Spies Catch First Interior Shot of Next Generation Toyota Prius

Looks better, but it's still known as the 'Prius.'

looking good liking that swooping carrera GT centre console haha... as if i compared that to a GT. shame on me :P

hmmm interesting, im not sure i would call the interior stylish... and im very disapointed that they kept that ugly as hell rear end spoiler thing... i dont like the current prius and it looks like i wont like this one either...

I want to be first on line for this one!!! Hey, GM, where are you?

Where is GM? Lost just like the 1970's all over again. Never had any good fuel mileage cars, muscle cars in the 70's and big trucks in the 2000's.

now thats a sweet look interior, almost give you the feel that it's a contect. Not digging the steering wheel though.

no matter what they do to try to improve the prius it will still be the most boring car in the market today tomorow and for ever.

interior is much better looking. almost looks like audi quality

wow, does the laptop come free with it lol?

Nice alloys...! But think I'd prefer a Golf GTi. You know some Toyota's and Lexus' are fitted with a sleep warning device, in case the driver falls asleep? ...SUMS UP the Toyota driving experience :)

...But in my home market there is a $35 dollar price difference between the cost of a top-of-the-range Prius and a Golf GTi. For the money I would know which I would buy...

i think prius is built to be driven in a different way than the golf gti.it exists just to take people from one place to another in comfort consuming as less as possible. the gti and much more the m3 are built to offer driving pleasure, and these cases fuel cost is not a big issue. concerning the top gear video i suppose we cannot come in a clue by watching a prius being struggled to go fast in a track, sth it is not made to do.

its other name "Toyota Pointless"

The interior is straight from all those 90's films where th cars could fly. And its a prius so.. two reasons to hate it. Top Gear already proved that the new M3 has better fuel economy than the prius. CRAPPY CAR.

Top gear make a false review on Prius vs M3: They put the prius at top performance. duhh!! of ourse is gona spent more gas! now, what they didn't do was to put the M3 at Prius normal ride...that would be interesting to see...specialy in city trafic!!!

BTW: Toyota always try to improve they cars and make them a litle bit more futuristic at a time, specially the interior. others don't. More, german cars suck! they reliability are the bigest crap in the world, they (specialy VW) are getting even worse then French cars!

is it just me or did the wheels get bigger??? the "old" prius had pretty small wheels and wheel wells... this new prius mule has much bigger wheels wells, no??? and to place the auto/CVT tranny into the center console instead next to the steering wheel is a good move, the old small handle was to small and kind of odd!!! i hope the suspension gets much better and sportier and i might give it a second look... i test drove the latest prius in 2002 and loved the concept, but the ride and acceleration were huge trade offs....

I would prefer the old one that has a free space linking the dash and the centre console... now the new one looks cramped. nevertheless it looks ok IMO. still has that "Toyota" feel.

I like the current one better. Seems more futuristic and unique. The new one could be the interior or any car.

I like it, the last one had that lame profile with a peak in the middle. This one looks more cohesive from these shots. Plus the interior shows a more unified theme. My friend has a Prius, and the lame thing on the old interior was all the grey areas were painnted, so in no time at all they were scratched and marked all over the console. Hopefully this version will not use a painted interior. The only other thing I have to say is that a Diesel engine, or a Diesel hybrid is still a better starting point for two reasons: Better low-end torque and they can run on almost any fuel. The hybrid life-cycle is too mineral intensive; where are all the batteries going to go when they wear out? i guess the whole green-car-craze is a good place to start, it is better than doing nothing to reduce dependence on oil. Peace!
