Toyota Yaris and Prius hybrid +: New Hybrid Models in Geneva 2011

Toyota will introduce two new hybrid models. World Premiere has envisioned the Yaris hybrid, while the seven-seat compact MPV Prius + only has its European premiere.

After the Auris will apparently come one step smaller Yaris next hybrid model on the market. The Yaris HSD concept brings the hybrid drive in the small car segment, the highest-volume market segment in Europe. Honda had recently introduced the Jazz hybrid is also a small car with hybrid drive. The Honda CR-Z is indeed a coupe, but at least one of its dimensions also manufacture in the small car class.

The Prius + is a seven-seater and, like the father of a full hybrid. Thus, it could be a seven-seater version of the act in January 2011 v on the auto show in Detroit shown Prius. The Prius +, will provide much more space for passengers than the Prius and consumption of all seven-seater to undercut the market. This is the record currently at 4.6 liters per 100 kilometers (VW Touran 1.6 TDI BlueMotion Technology).
