Yes. One of us with an '06 reserved should ask a dealer. I have to see mine tomorrow, and will do so unless someone beats me to it (and with this bunch, someone will).

at pressroom.toyota.com for the '06 it says:

BASIC LIMITED WARRANTY COVERAGE
3-year/36,000-mile Comprehensive
5-year/60,000-mile Powertrain
5-year/unlimited-mileage Corrosion Perforation
8-year/100,000-mile Hybrid-related Component Coverage

This is in conflict with the specifications on the toyota.com website.

Also, it makes no sense that the California warranty, which was longer than the typical waranty, is now shorter.

Must be some mistakes somewhere.

Looks like they eliminated the hybrid 8yr/100k and now it is just 5yr/60k??

Yeah, there's some conflicts for sure.

On the "General eBrochure" they show a silver Prius
(with no side badge "Hybrid")
with available package #9.

Yes, #9

How funny!

Found this in the warrenty section on the Toyota site. I didn't see anything that specifically said this was for an 06 but the section on the Prius is updated for 06.
The other popst only mentioned emissions and this lists hybrid components.

Hello,

As I just ordered my 06, I was also concerned. I called the customer care # on their website and they assured me hybrid components are still covered for the 8 year, 100,000 miles.

I have read 180K somewhere.. but by the time that comes around.. I figure they will be much better for much cheaper... OR I will have upgraded by then anyway...
There is also be enough prius's on the road by then.. there should be plenty of used batteries avail in the junk yards from wrecks too.

either way... I feel no alarm....
I have read reports here on the forum of folks making it 250K miles... and thats with the earlier generation batteries.... they are better now!

That's wonderful! I heard it was less years and miles and I was like "YIKES!" Thanks for calling to check on that!

Yea.. and according to this.. the 36K/3year roadside assistance appears to be intact too... so either its left over from 05 and is a mistake.. or toyota is a mistake...
right not I"m leaning toward the mistake being on toyota's website since they don't mention it at all.

Hey.. your right it is there now!... I looked what I thought was yesterday or the day before and I didn't see anything relating to the hybrid parts.....
Looks like its updated now...
