Recently, overseas media exposed some details of the Toyota Prius fourth-generation hybrid car. It is understood that the new car will use a more lightweight body material, and will achieve more fuel-efficient. The new car is expected to replace the existing nickel-metal hydride battery with a lithium-ion battery. It is planned to be officially launched in 2015 and will be introduced to China at the same time.
The Toyota Hybrid Prius series has become a model for hybrid cars that lead the new era. Under the trend of new energy vehicles, the Prius has sold more than 400,000 vehicles worldwide. On February 22 this year, the domestic third-generation Toyota Prius was officially launched, which once again triggered a domestic buying boom for Prius.
After several generations of development, Toyota hybrid power technology has gradually matured. Among them, the first three generations of Prius vehicles are equipped with high-performance nickel-hydrogen battery packs for hybrid power. According to Qi Hongying, the nickel-hydrogen battery electric vehicle used by Toyota Hybrid has accumulated more than 1 million kilometers, but the battery performance is still good.
It is reported that the fourth-generation Prius that Toyota will launch will further adopt lighter body materials than the current ones in order to further improve fuel economy, and will assemble low-resistance tires. There may be some major changes in the body shape, but it will also maintain a slip-back style. In terms of core power systems, the new fourth-generation Prius is expected to replace the current nickel-metal hydride batteries with lithium-ion batteries, which will make the new Prius lighter and more environmentally friendly.
Some analysts pointed out that if the fourth-generation Prius adopts lithium batteries, the cost may increase, but the power system is expected to be more powerful. At present, many car companies at home and abroad have successfully applied lithium iron phosphate batteries to electric vehicles. Therefore, the Toyota fourth-generation Prius will be very likely to switch to lithium iron phosphate batteries.
