The stylish and versatile Toyota Prius C hybrid is perfect for life in the city. New for 2019, the Prius C features an even more powerful Toyota Safety Sense C technology package plus a third model choice, making it easier to find the perfect Prius C.

“Canadian drivers love the nimble performance and impressive versatility of small hatchbacks – and they love the incredible fuel efficiency of Toyota hybrids. With the Toyota Prius C, they get it all – in a stylish and fun-to-drive subcompact that’s loaded with advanced yet easy-to-use technologies that put this vehicle in a class by itself,” said Cyril Dimitris, Vice President, Toyota Canada Inc.

Performance and efficiency take centre stage in the Prius C. Under the hood, Prius C’s Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive features a 1.5L Atkinson Cycle four-cylinder with Exhaust Heat Recovery System, plus a high-torque electric motor, powerful storage battery and sophisticated power management system. This works together with a continuously variable transmission to produce 99 net system horsepower and smooth, confident acceleration – ideal for the urban landscape. Even more impressive, Prius C sips fuel – at just 5.1 L / 100 km city/highway combined. In the city, this hybrid hatch is rated at a remarkable 4.9 L / 100 km. And all parts of the hybrid system are covered by an eight-year, 160,000 km warranty.

The Prius C’s wide stance contributes to nimble, athletic lane changes and cornering. And curbside, the Prius C invites admiration with its pronounced front grille, LED headlights, brake lamp and rear combination lamps, power adjustable and heated mirrors, front lower bumper spoiler and rear spoiler, and colour-keyed door handles.

The Prius C’s interior is modern and surprisingly spacious, with room for up to 484L (17.1 cubic feet) of cargo when the 60/40 split folding second-row seat is stowed. Cabin features include adjustable front seats, power windows with driver’s side auto up/down function, power door locks with keyless entry, a 12v DC power outlet for personal electronics, a digital clock, dual vanity mirrors, tilting and telescoping steering wheel, and plenty of thoughtful in-cabin storage boxes and pockets.

Every Prius C features plenty of technology, too – including a touchscreen 6.1” Display Audio system with advanced voice recognition, USB audio input, Bluetooth® connectivity for personal electronics and steering wheel-mounted controls, cruise control, a 4.2” multi-information display, air conditioning with automatic temperature control, and outside temperature gauge.

Modern technology also defines Prius C’s safety package, starting with Toyota Safety Sense C. This comprehensive array of active safety systems includes the Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beams and is designed to extend driver abilities to help avoid accident situations. New for 2019, the TSS C package on the Prius C has been upgraded with the addition of Pedestrian Detection to the Pre-Collision System. Other safety technologies include the Toyota Star Safety System, a suite of nine airbags, child seat anchors and rear door locks, and a backup camera. And because a Prius C driving in electric-only mode can be whisper quiet, a Vehicle Approach Notice system warns pedestrians and cyclists of its presence.
