2012 Toyota Prius – now in two trim levels in Malaysia

The fuss may be about the upcoming Toyota Prius c, but some interesting developments are also shaping up on the other, more familiar Prius front. A check on the UMW Toyota website reveals that there are now two trim levels being mentioned for the ZVW30 in Malaysia, a standard Prius as well as a Luxury variant.
A ‘New Prius’ tagline is being bandied, so the vehicle – which, going by the site, hasn’t quite arrived but should be right around the corner – should pretty much be the facelift version of the third-generation hybrid that came about last year. The revisions are mild and involve more new kit than any considerable shape rework, though the front bumper and rear lamp configuration are different.
No changes mechanically to the Hybrid Synergy Drive system on it – the 1.8 litre 2ZR-FXE Atkinson cycle engine, with its 99 PS at 5,200 rpm and 142 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm continues to hold court, working alongside the electric motor’s 82 PS and 207 Nm of torque, with a combined output of 136 PS (or 134 hp).
Standard fare contains the familiar, among them seven airbags, VSC and traction control, EBD, brake assist, 15-inch wheels and cruise control. Both 2012 variants will feature a 6.1-inch touchscreen display audio system with Bluetooth, USB and Aux connections, partnered to a JBL eight-speaker, eight-channel amplifier setup.
The standard Prius continues on with high-grade fabric seats and halogen projector headlamps, while the Luxury gets leather seats and LED projectors, complete with auto leveling and washer. The Luxury also gets auto lights, an electro-chromic rear view mirror and heated seats, the last which won’t see much use in this particular climate. New to the Prius are daytime running lights, which are available on both versions.
There’s an indicative estimate for the variants, and the pricing has gone slightly up for the base model, at RM143,000, while the Luxury is expected to retail for RM148,000, both on-the-road with insurance.

Kereta rega mcm nie sure RM1300 sebulan ke atas.
One more thing - the battery. 6 tahun jer tahannya. Lepas tu kena tukar - belas ribu jugak kosnya. So hybrid nie gimik jer la. Kalau kira balik sama jer total cost dgn kereta yg bukan hybrid. |

Dgn suhu dan lembapan yang tinggi di Malaysia ni tak tahulah boleh achieve tak 6 tahun ni.
Ada satu syarikat O&G di Malaysia ni staff yg pakai kereta hybrid dapat keistimewaan parking bawah bumbung.
Kalau betul-betul nak jimat beli kereta second hand kemudian sumbat NGV. |

Pruis dan majority model Toyota memang floating in the air dia punya ride sebab guna soft suspension. Tujuannya utk ride comfort semata-mata. Jadi handling tak bagus. Nak cornar lelaju tak boleh - nanti masuk longkang... |
