CHANGES FROM THE TOP
All Prius+ versions come complete with LED headlamps, new LED rear light clusters and a sharper front-end treatment, with the entry level Icon grade featuring the latest Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system with touchscreen, Bluetooth, DAB digital radio and reversing camera. It also has a tyre pressure warning system that is viewable on the colour TFT screen that has been added to the upper instrument panel, part of the redesigned cabin that has a reconstructed centre console, dark trim finish and improved seat fabrics.
CHANGES WHEN YOU STOP (suddenly)
All three Prius+ versions have been made safer by the addition of technology features that contribute to smoother and easier driving whilst at the same time making the drive safer by avoiding accidents and oprotecting during the unavoidable. The Excel and Excel Plus models feature Toyota’s Pre-Crash Safety system (PCS), which uses a millimetre-wave radar to scan the road ahead and determine the risk of an impact. If impact is unavoidable, PCS tightens the front seatbelts and activates pre-crash braking.
