The Toyota Prius + 's lithium-ion battery technology replaces the nickel-metal hydride in a non-plug-in hybrid Toyota completes first. Located inside the vehicle's center console between the front seats, the new battery is much lighter and more compact than the Prius. This occupies a volume much smaller than a Prius battery and 34 kg, is lighter than 8 kg.
 

In combination with a cold system of recirculation of exhaust gases, the adoption of the Atkinson cycle provides significant advantages in terms of fuel consumption and reduce emissions. Recirculating cooled exhaust gas re-establishing the cooled exhaust gas suction, further reducing the temperature of engine operation. Improve the fuel economy and cold comfort cabin, a management system of the engine combines the power of the heat recirculation exhaust gas of a heat pump water. To reduce the mechanical losses, replaces a traditional electrical system water pump drive belt. Through a valve constructed to mount the charger exhaust recirculation system redirects the heat of the exhaust gas to heat the coolant in the engine starter. The new system is lighter by 33% and 27% more efficient than the Prius engine
 

It allows a more effective rapid heating the cabin, and improves the efficiency of the hybrid system and the fuel economy. Which houses the mechanism for reducing electric motor, generator, power split device and dual motor drive in a lightweight, extremely compact casing directly comparable in size to a conventional transmission, the transaxle is at the center of the Hybrid Synergy Drive Compensation + weight gain Prius Prius is finished, the transmission ratio of the final command has been reduced from 3.498 to 3.704, keeping the acceleration performance similar to the model Prius. 60 kW electric motor / generator The high-performance permanent magnet, synchronous to 60 kW electric motor / generator operates in conjunction with the gasoline engine to increase the acceleration and the power of the driving wheels only when the Toyota Prius + is operating in EV mode.
 

In order to maintain optimum efficiency in spite of the increase in the weight of the vehicle along Prius, the cooling system of the engine passes from air to liquid. Power Control Unit Similar in size to a 12 volt battery, the Hybrid Synergy Drive ® control unit consists of a voltage boost converter, an inverter and a DC / DC converter. Controlled by the engine control unit ECU Power Management Control, the Power Control Unit increases the level of DC voltage of the hybrid battery and converts it into electrical energy for driving the AC electric motor. Hybrid Synergy Drive ® incorporates a DC / DC converter to reduce the high voltage 202v pack 14V battery system, fuel systems and accessories for charging the auxiliary battery. The Synergy Drive Prius + 's ® Hybrid powertrain combines a 99 kW DIN hp/73 1.8-liter gasoline engine with a power of 60 kW electric motor for maximum power supply system of 136 hp. + The Prius accelerates smoothly from 0-100 km / h in 11.3 seconds and reaches a top speed of 165 km / h.
 

Improvement of environmental performance of Toyota Prius + class-leading aerodynamics and low weight, the hybrid wheel drive system returns fuel economy and CO2 emissions category leader of 4.1 l/100 km and 96 g / km, respectively. To complete the normal mode of the disc of the new Prius + 's seamless, electric transmission and CVT-, three alternatives, on-demand drive modes-EV, ECO and POWER-can be selected to further improve the 'driving performance, efficiency and fuel economy. Start with the normal drive mode selected, the new Toyota Prius automatically operates in EV mode +, driving under electric motor power only for the immediate power and amazingly smooth ride, quiet, with low NVH. This driving experience is unique to the hybrid technology is not complete and available to drivers of mild hybrid vehicles. In NORMAL mode, the hybrid system can operate with electric motor alone at speeds of vehicles up to 70 km / h, the gasoline engine smoothly from speed rail when its production is required.
 

The driver can also select EV mode manually. Although the gasoline engine will still start if the system judges that its production is necessary, this mode allows inputs selectable EV acceleration significantly higher without starting the engine. In ECO mode, throttle response to accelerator pedal inputs is reduced and aggressive air-conditioning control for optimized fuel economy. Depending on driving conditions, ECO mode can help drivers achieve by a 10% reduction in fuel consumption. One way to change the response of Toyota Prius + to throttle inputs, there by increasing the power to improve acceleration and increase driving pleasure. Through the Toyota multi-information touch screen, drivers can monitor the flow of energy within the Hybrid Synergy Drive ® for each driving mode.
