Social media images of Pakistan’s first Toyota Prius from 2024 have gone viral among online users. However, the new Prius’ pricing has stunned auto fans more than its images.
An Instagram user claims that a dealership in Karachi imported the vehicle, which has a staggering price tag of around Rs. 20 million (2 crores). A Toyota Fortuner Sigma 4 costs somewhat more than Rs. 19 million, for comparison.
Comparison Between Old and New Prius
Compared to the previous Toyota Prius, the new model is a considerably better-looking and more efficient vehicle. With a sleek front end, a sloping roofline, and large wheels, its design appears to be influenced by contemporary sportscars.
The new Toyota Prius is equipped with Toyota’s first 2.0-liter Plug-in Hybrid System, which generates 221 horsepower (hp) by combining a high-efficiency Dynamic Force Engine and lithium-ion batteries.
According to the manufacturer, this engine enables the automobile to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 6.7 seconds.
Toyota Prius 2024 Features
Additionally, the 2024 Prius is filled with sophisticated features including Toyota SafetySense. Despite these advantages, it retails on the foreign market for between Rs. 7.8 million and Rs. 10.2 million.
In Pakistan, a price increase of over Rs. 10 million has caused much controversy.
