The Toyota Prius + – the Prius that is a seven-seat MPV – gets a bit of a facelift for 2015 with cosmetic and suspension tweaks and new tech. It’s more than three years since Toyota took the Prius and turned it in to the world’s only seven-seat MPV – the Toyota Prius+ – and […]

The 2009, third generation, Toyota Prius is being recalled in the UK – and across the world – to fix a potential brake problem.

The Toyota Prius Plug-in finally arrives in July 2012 and will cost £32,895 in a single spec plus a range of options.

The Toyota Prius C has launched in Japan (as the Toyota Aqua) with a host of TRD sporty options on offer. We first had concrete news on the compact Prius – the Toyota Prius C – when a brochure leaked out ahead of a début at the Tokyo Motor Show. And if you take the ‘C’ as compact, […]

Toyota has revealed a Vehicle Proximity Notification system to the Prius to make noise to warn pedestrians when the Prius is in EV mode.
