Toyota Prius Specifications



Toyota has revived a little something from last summer called a wait list – for people who are interested in buying a new 2010 Prius.Toyota is running its Prius production plants in Japan 24 hours a day and offering overtime to workers – even bringing in workers from other areas of the country – to meet demand for the hybrid car. Panasonic EV Energy, the Prius' battery supplier, is also working constantly to keep churning out packs for the model.

This is the effect of those higher-than-expected sales numbers. The NYT says that the waiting list is "several months" long in Japan.

Toyota unveiled the third-generation 2010 Toyota Prius hybrid car at the 2009 North American International Auto show. The 2010 Toyota Prius offers better mileage ratings and increased performance, as well as new design features. it's fuel efficiency was increased to an estimated 50 mpg US combined for the new Prius, with further reductions in CO2 emissions.

The coefficient of drag (Cd) value is reduced to 0.25, compared to 0.26 for the previous model. Disc brakes are now used on all four corners, replacing the front disc/rear drum brakes in the current model. Toyota will use plant-derived, carbon-neutral plastics in the 2010 Prius. The new Prius also features a "Solar Moonroof". A small solar panel array powers a ventilation system, cooling down the cabin so that the air conditioning doesn't have to work as hard, thereby conserving power.

The [Ni-MH] battery module carries over from the tried-and-true technology from the current Prius. With a larger 1.8L engine and a net horsepower of 134hp, internal tests show that the 2010 Toyota Prius 0-60 mph (~0-100 km/h) timing has dropped to 9.8 seconds, comparable to a mid-size sedan with a 2.4-liter engine. The new Prius will offer three driving modes. EV-Drive Mode allows driving on battery power alone at low speeds for about a mile, if conditions permit. There is also a Power Mode and an Eco Mode.
