Prius

Cutting edge technology

Solar Ventilation System*

When activated, the Solar Ventilation System can power an internal fan, cooling the car inside while parked in direct sunlight.

  • Park in the sun to keep your car cool. Solar panels embedded in the Prius roof run an internal fan which ejects the hot air that can build up inside your car. This means the temperature in your parked car is kept closer to the ambient temperature outside.
    * Solar Ventilation System is only available with the i-Tech™ model only

Touch Tracer Display

Keep your eyes on the road, not on your wheel - Touch Tracer controls are a world first.

  • In the Prius, any control or function you touch on the steering wheel Touch Tracer controls will show up on the dashboard display in front of you. That means you can search for a radio station, control the air conditioning and check your energy consumption without glancing at the wheel.

Head Up Display (HUD)

The information you need - where you can see it.

  • Once only used in jet fighters, a Head Up Display (HUD) is now a standard feature in the Prius. Your speed, the hybrid system indicator, and even navigation information on the i-Tech™ can be projected on the windscreen just below your line of sight. It comes with controls that allow you to adjust the brightness and position of the projected HUD image.

Multi Information Display

Keep an eye on your efficiency. Visualise the way you drive, and how it can impact your fuel usage.

  • The Multi Information display combines an energy monitor, a hybrid system indicator and a fuel consumption monitor. Together these three displays provide moment by moment feedback on your fuel efficiency, the car’s power flow and its response to your driving style.

Remote Air-Conditioning System*

A short burst of air-conditioned cool air, powered by the hybrid battery, provides an instant relief to the cabin temperature.

  • In a true world first, turn on the air-conditioning just by pushing the A/C button on your key fob as you approach the Prius. For up to three minutes a burst of cool air will cool the cabin. Best of all, you don’t have to start your car to make it work.
