I saw a black one at the weekend. The two tone wheels (white inner bits) looks fking awful frankly. But the car itself has a few interesting angles. Bit ungainly from some, but on the whole its definitely distinctive and not just another box.

Does anyone know when the new Prius Plug-In will be available in the UK?

The car looks an absolute mess, which is a shame.

I'm pretty impressed with the fuel economy. This is after a trip from London to Eastbourne and back. Mostly M25 and A-roads. Quite hilly around Beachy Head. Climate control on and "swift progress" made including driving at the legal limit and booting it when going into a NSL.

Side profile is ok, however the rear 3/4 is ghastly, truly a hideous bit of design frown

Pretty good numbers.

Had a look on Fuelly and Spritmonitor and it seems the avg is a good 65 MPG.

Anyone decode this

If you look down the left side for Ah then look across there are two different values 3.6 and 6.5
Are there two battery options?

3.6 Ah is the capacity for the Gen 4 and 6.5 Ah is the capacity for the earlier version.

Doesnt look like it as theyre model type ZVW50/51. The previous version is ZVW30

ETA used google translate tools the bigger capacity battery is NiMH, the smaller one is Lithium ion
