2015 Toyota Prius Spy | Toyota Prius has been spotted testing in prototype form, revealing a familiar form for the latest generation of the world’s most popular hybrid. However, while the exterior is likely to feature only evolutionary changes (much of the design is dictated by aerodynamics), under the skin we’re expecting plenty of advancements. Looking at this prototype, which was spotted testing in the U.S., we can clearly tell that the new Prius will sit lower and feature a sleeker profile than the current model. One of the shots even has the two generations sitting next to each other.
If Toyota sticks to its model cadence, we expect to see the new Prius make its official world debut at the Detroit Auto Show, either in 2014 or the follow year. The former is more likely, meaning we’re likely to see it in showrooms before the end of next year, making it a 2015 model. Interestingly, production of the 2015 Toyota Prius is expected to take place in the U.S. for the first time. Expect U.S.-spec cars to come with a lithium-ion battery as part of an updated Hybrid Synergy Drive system. The switch from current nickel-metal hydride technology is due to the better density and lighter weight of lithium batteries. Article source
