Toyota Prius

The Toyota Prius is a full hybrid electric automobile developed and manufactured by the Toyota company since 1997. Initially appeared as a 4-door sedan, it has been manufactured only as a 5-door hatchback since 2003. Prius is a Latin word meaning "first", "original", "superior" or "to go before".

The Prius first went on sale in Japan in 1997.  It was the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle and was available at all four Toyota Japan dealerships. It was subsequently launched worldwide in 2000. Toyota expanded the Prius family to include the Prius v, an extended hatchback wagon, and the Prius c, a subcompact hatchback in 2011.

The first Prius, model NHW10, went on sale on 10 December 1997. It was available only in Japan, though it has been imported from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The fourth generation Prius is 2.4 in (6.1 cm) longer, 0.6 in (1.5 cm) wider and 0.8 in (2.0 cm) lower, at the rear a double wishbone independent suspension replaces its predecessors' torsion beam. The front uses standard LED headlamps.
