Innovatives Solardach-Aufladesystem und weitere Technik-Highlights
That was the most obvious part of the driving experience to me as a previous Plug-in owner: 100% throttle available in EV mode...
...The driving experience was very similar to that of other electric vehicles: quiet, confident acceleration. Toyota has also tweaked the regenerative braking in the Prime's EV driving mode to be slightly more aggressive with regen...
...For all of the many people in the forums who have been holding off on buying a new Prius until the Prime launch, I think you've made the right choice and you'll be happy you waited.
And EV Mode now locks in. When you have an adequate charge, and it’s in its default EV Mode, not even a mash of the accelerator to the floor will rouse the internal combustion engine...
...The result is a Prius that, in its EV Mode, drives like a sprightly electric car for the first 22 miles, then achieves fuel economy that’s identical to that of most of the Prius lineup (52 mpg combined), and a total driving range of more than 600 miles...
...A heat-pump system heats the Prime on its own (it’s not supplemented by resistance heating), and a special gas pre-injection system helps it react faster to sub-zero cabin temps....
...Toyota’s created a better-driving, better-looking version of the Prius that’s a bona fide electric vehicle some of the time. And at last, this plug-in feels like an step up over the standard version without the compromises of its predecessor.
For maximum flexibility, drivers can select how the Prime’s powertrain operates. There are actually three different settings to choose from. As mentioned, EV allows the car to run exclusively on battery power; once its 22 miles of range is depleted, it operates as a conventional hybrid. Next is EV Auto, which focuses on electric operation but allows the engine to run in situations where it’s more efficient, like when climbing a hill. Finally, there’s HV Mode, which simply allows the Prime to operate like a standard Prius, preserving its battery reserve for electric operation.
Overall, the Prime feels a bit more refined than a standard Prius. The extra weight it carries seems to help smooth out bumps and give it a more planted feel; compared to its Plug-In predecessor, it’s nearly a luxury car. About the only real gripe is the steering, which is totally devoid of any feel...
...The Prime may not just be Toyota’s most economical Prius, it could be the best one ever. It’s more efficient, easier on the eyes and loaded with many popular features. If priced right, there’s no reason not to buy one if you’re in the market for a hybrid car.
...the Prime rides better than the lighter, standard Prius (though it heaves a bit over large road undulations), feels heavier (if respectably linear) to your brake foot, and turns in with concomitantly less crispness. Dynamically, it lands somewhere between the standard Prius and the Volt, which carries 2.1 times the Prime’s battery capacity...
...But the battery’s presence noticeably complicates the car. There’s about a 1-inch hump in the cargo floor, and the second row has been rejiggered into two seats—“with five aboard, the car would be too heavy,” admitted an engineer. Moreover, when that seatback is folded, the extended load floor becomes uneven (though those two remaining chairs sure offer business-class spaciousness compared to the Volt’s steerage). One wonders how much the architecture of the TNGA-chassis-ed Prius took this battery into account...
...The Prime finally has (just) enough battery for most folks’ needs and provides a proper EV experience—with it all backed up by the world’s most popular hybrid mode.
Toyoshima has hinted that the Prime was conceived to accept batteries with higher energy density when they become available (or cost effective).
In a back-to-back drive with a standard Prius, the Prime showed better body control through a series of test-track esses and, from what we could tell, a more refined ride. The project’s chief engineer, Koji Toyoshima, confirmed that the Prime has entirely different suspension tuning—and most noticeably, more rebound damping, helping it feel more secure over heaves.
Toyota wouldn’t let us try driving the car in this EV Auto setting yet; officials say that it’s similar to the main operating mode of the previous Plug-In model, although where that car might fire its gas engine at one-third of the accelerator pedal’s travel, the Prime will allow the use of two-thirds before starting the four-cylinder.
Le responsable du développement Toshima, considère que cette Prius 4 rechargeable sera la revanche de Toyota, vis à vis de l’échec commercial de la précédente Prius rechargeable.
Et bien moi je trouve la réponse de ton ex-assistante tout à fait pertinente.C'est comme mon ex assistante qui venait de s'acheter une Super 5 (version 5CV ....)
