Is there anything new in the 2013 hatchback model?

    I'm wondering if anything new was developed for the 2013s, or if the differences between 2012 and 2013 (I assume there are always some) are superficial.

    I notice you posted this in the Prius v forum but you mean the Prius Liftback.

    The changes are very superficial if any. The mid-model facelift was done on the 2012s. If you are looking at 2012s then make sure you are getting a super discount otherwise you are losing money because that car is already a year old and trade-in values will be lower than a 2013 with the same number of miles.

    Vehicle Proximity Notification System (VPNS) was added as standard on the Prius v wagon for 2013. If we had known, we would have waited for it instead of buying a 2012 a few months earlier.

    It was standard for 2012 in the Liftback.

    I don't understand your post. I have a 2012 Prius v Three and VPNS is certainly standard on mine.
