Pioneer of the Evolving Eco Car

This time we will cover the TOYOTA PRIUS PHV, which underwent a complete redesign in February, 2017. With a larger driving battery, the mileage in EV mode doubles that of the previous generation at 68.2km. For normal charging, general household wiring can be used. It's packed with interesting features like the world's first roof solar power generation panel on a vehicle for volume sales. Since the launch of the eco car market over 20 years ago, TOYOTA has been leading the market. The SAMURAI TEAM thoroughly probe the capabilities of the vehicle positioned as the "pillar of next-generation eco cars"!! Also, we have a report on the luxury trend of long-distance buses with fancy interiors in Japan.
