The Toyota Prius offers advanced new infotainment systems for 2012, including the Entune suite of connectivity features.
The Prius gains updated headlamps and taillamps, plus a new front fascia and bumper for 2012. The Prius Two gains new 15-inch wheel covers for 2012. The Prius Three adds a standard three-door Smart Key entry system, and the Prius Four features standard auto on/off headlamps. The Prius Four also provides enhanced comfort with new SofTex-trimmed seats and an eight-way power adjustable driver's seat.
The Solar Roof Packages offer a sliding glass moonroof with solar panels (located over the rear seating area) that power a ventilation system. The solar powered ventilation system helps reduce the interior air temperature when parked directly in the sun. Cool-down time is shorter when the driver returns to the vehicle, reducing the use of air conditioning.
A 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine produces 98 horsepower. Together with its electric motor, the hybrid system generates a combined 134 net horsepower. Due to the unique way that Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive combines the power of the gasoline engine and electric motor, the driver experiences a feeling of torque in the Prius that makes it feel even more powerful than the output numbers suggest. Prius can run on the gasoline engine alone, battery alone, or a combination of both.
The 2012 Prius offers four driving modes (Normal Power, Eco and EV). The EV Mode allows driving on battery power alone at low speeds for about a mile, if conditions permit. Power Mode increases sensitivity to throttle input for a sportier feel; Eco Mode helps drivers achieve the best mileage.
