Toyota Prius+ Hybrid

This is my 3rd Toyota Hybrid.

Once again, it has proven to be practical for busy family man who does not have time for breakdowns and mechanical surprises. It has superior fuel efficiency that many competitors hybrid are not able to come close. The car is engineered for ultimate fuel efficiency, if you are looking for something fast this car may not be suitable - Consider Cupra Ateca?

The vehicle is able to cruise comfortably 0 to ~76km/h in EV mode. No learning of any hyper-milling technique is required. Drive as it should, your reward is everytime you visit the pump station with the amazing fuel economy. Who cares about fuel hike when driving a Toyota Hybrid?

2nd row has 3 independently adjustable seats that fit 3 adults easily.

3rd row is 50/50 foldable for occasion weekend family outing

All seats have thick cushion, they are supportive, reclinable and good for long distance ride.

Reliable, fuel economical, spacious. Will definitely recommend this car. Although it has a twist beam, it rides decently. Engine feels ok when stepped hard in power mode. Better refinement compared to 3 cylinder petrols found in the 216i. Space wise is tied with the touran as the most spacious in segment. The others lack headroom and legroom in the 3rd row.

I booked my car in October 2018 and took delivery on January 2019.

Overall purchasing experience was great, had two time test driving and found pick up was bit slag but as a family car I didn't put high priority on that.

I have already clocked 3K Km running and found it is keeping its promises that were shown during sales phase. In city ride it is giving always 15+km/L.

More spacious for all adults in first and second row. Third row I am using for kids and my kids enjoying it.

Sound proofing could have been better. Smooth riding if you are not a sports drive fan.

Was looking around for a SUV but eventually settle for a MPV for the practicality. Never thought of considering a hybrid as the cost used to be quite on the high side, but recently it's just make sense to own one due to escalating petrol price. The Toyota salesman was quick to point out the high OMV and Parf of this car, and the time of my enquires they were having a car export promo at 109k. That's compute to a depreciation of <10k . I test drive and book it on the same day.

It has been 1 weeks since I got this car and I must say it's really feels good driving a Toyota Prius , it's super quiet and I have no doubts it's saving me petrol.

I'm light footed driver so I have no issue with not having turbo charged power , for a family car this is just right for me .

A very much needed overhaul of the ever popular Toyota Wish is at last here. From afar, it looks like an extended Prius C but it's distinct longish and wider appearance gave away when observed carefully. The Prius+ now looks sharper and inline with the current portfolio of Toyota hybrids in comparison to the curvy contours of the Toyota Wish.

First on the review, the mid-sized MPV now offers 3 proper seats in the centre row. A very much appreciated and adopted from similar European counterpart's offering as the person sitting in the middle seat no longer need to feel awkward to lean either sides - pretty sure that is a big welcome for the passengers. However, the 3rd row seats does not offer as much legroom space compared to it's predecessor but it is still acceptable considering my typical Asian height.

The interior of the car now looks more vibrant than before. The digital display console sits in the centre of the dashboard is modern and visually appealing. The steering wheel also comes with a slew of helpful multi-function controls for audio.

The Prius+ drives really well. Power is available on demand and the interior is relatively quiet even though travelling at 60km/hr. All I can say is that I'm convinced that the electric drive train that Toyota offers is fast maturing (not to forget a market leader) and should be made a standard offering for all their vehicle lineup in the near future.

First car I listed to my shortlist of hybrids, as this looks like a good successor to Wish initially. When I was first introduced to this vehicle quite sometime back, BM did not have stock then and only showed brochure.

During 2nd visit, my impression changed when I realised the exterior design looked a little dated. Was expecting it to have the signature Prius back light design. Nevertheless I still tried test drive hoping it may have some positives out of it.

The gear design, although looks futuristic, kinda look funny to me. A little out of place and the colour.....Erm....

In economy mode, I don't feel safe as it lacks in power and response time. Any turns that I make, I really need to play safe and wait for more clearance.

This car is being touted as a Wish that saves petrol. So if you are not impressed by the Wish, don't bother. If you are, you still should think twice.

The car's design is dated, interior design is basic and plasticy. 3rd is not inhabitable. Car ride is bumpy and uncomfortable.

For the car's price, you can get a Sienta Hybrid which offers more space and change of $10k. Or top up a little to get the super spacious Voxy/Noah.

Tested the car in comparison to Wish. Wish is a good car , this car is value at 114K , which is on the high side I felt even at current COE of 30K. Lack of power and I felt FC only near 20km/lit. For the different 20-30K for a hybrid , that enough saving petrol for 3-4yrs for not a high user.

few parallel import car to compare is voxy , room space a lot bigger and Renault and Citro which give a lot more roomy space..

at this price they is no new feature like safety auto crash prevention , lane swtiching etc.

only advantage is the 7 airbag which is also a cost.

So far this is the only BM midsize MPV.
