    TORRANCE, Calif., April 21, 2009 - - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., announced manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP) today for the all-new 2010 Prius midsize hybrid, scheduled to go on sale beginning in late May at Toyota dealers nationwide. The third-generation Prius will be available in one grade with a starting MSRP of $21,000. The Prius will be offered with five levels of popular standard equipment combinations. “The 2010 Prius delivers outstanding mileage, performance and advanced technology at a great price,” said Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division. Carter sees the most popular model starting at an MSRP of $22,000, equipped with a high level of standard features, “This model provides more than $2,000 added value, including the features most buyers want, at the same price as the current base model” he said. A new base model with a lower level of standard equipment is scheduled to be available later this year. It is designed to appeal to the most cost-conscious businesses and consumers. Celebrated as the benchmark for cars of the future, the Prius has delivered superior fuel economy and ultra-low emissions to more than 1.2 million owners worldwide for over 10 years. When it goes on sale, the 2010 Toyota Prius will once again set new standards for innovative hybrid design and technology, raising its level of convenience features and performance to new heights, including EPA fuel economy estimates of 51 mpg city, 48 mpg highway and 50 mpg combined (EPA MPG estimates, actual mileage will vary). The third-generation 2010 Prius will offer enhanced performance and innovative design features. It will be quieter, roomier, and equipped with advanced standard and available features such as four driving modes, steering wheel touch controls that display on the instrument panel, a moonroof with solar panels, and Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA). The Prius is equipped with Toyota’s industry-leading Hybrid Synergy Drive and certified as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), emitting over 70 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle. A larger and more powerful yet more efficient 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine produces 98 horsepower at 5,200 rpm. Together with its electric motor the hybrid system in the new Prius will generate a combined net horsepower of 134, an increase of 24 horsepower over the previous generation. All Prius models offer Toyota’s Star Safety System™ as standard equipment, which includes enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Traction Control (TRAC) Systems, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA). Other standard features include electric power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. Starting fall 2009, select Prius models will include Toyota’s all-new telematics service, Safety Connect™, which will offer four safety and security features: Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Location, Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), and Roadside Assistance. Safety Connect will be available by subscription, with an included one-year trial subscription. Adding to the appeal of Prius is an additional array of standard convenience features on most models that include automatic air conditioning equipped with an electric air compressor; AM/FM/MP3 CD player with six-speakers and satellite radio capability; driver door Smart Key system with Push Button Start and remote illuminated entry; a Multi-Informational Display with an energy monitor and fuel consumption history; six-way adjustable driver seat; power door locks; auto up/down on all windows with window jam protection; cruise control; tilt/telescopic adjustable steering wheel with audio and HVAC controls; color-keyed foldable power heated side mirrors; dual sun visors with vanity mirrors; and tonneau cover. Prius also brings many new firsts to the Toyota lineup. To help increase fuel efficiency, the 1.8-liter engine is beltless, uses an electric water pump, a new exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and an exhaust heat collection system. Other Toyota firsts include a new Touch Tracer Display, which features touch sensors on the steering wheel switches that are designed to reduce driver eye movement for better concentration on the road; an available sliding glass moonroof is packaged with solar panels that power a new ventilation system; a remote air-conditioning system functions on battery-power alone, and allows remote operation so the driver can cool the interior temperature for comfort before getting in the car. Also new to Toyota is an available Dynamic Radar Cruise Control system that uses advanced millimeter wave radar. The system also enables Lane Keep Assist, which helps the driver stay safely within the lane, and the Pre-Collision System, which retracts seatbelts and applies the brakes in certain conditions when a crash is unavoidable. Base MSRPs do not include a delivery, processing, and handling (DPH) fee of $750. The DPH fee for vehicles distributed by Southeast Toyota (SET) and Gulf States Toyota (GST) may vary. Standard Equipment MSRP Prius I To be released at a later date $21,000 Prius II 1.8-liter Atkinson cycle engine $22,000 P195/65 R15 all-season tires with alloy wheels & covers Smart Key (driver’s door) and Push Button start EV, Eco, and Power modes Multi-Informational Display with energy monitor and fuel consumption history AM/FM/MP3 CD player with six speakers and satellite radio capability and auxiliary audio jack Cruise control STAR Safety System and active front headrest Seven airbags including driver knee airbag Four-wheel disc brakes Tilt/telescopic steering wheel with audio and HVAC Controls with Touch Tracer Display Six-way adjustable driver seat Auto up/down on all windows Color-keyed foldable power heated side mirrors Prius III In addition to Prius II features: $23,000 JBL AM/FM/MP3 six-disc CD changer with eight speakers Integrated satellite radio capability Hands-free phone capability via Bluetooth® wireless technology Prius IV In addition to Prius III features: $25,800 Three-door Smart Key system Leather-trimmed interior Heated front seats with driver lumbar support Driver and front passenger water repellant windows Plasmacluster™ ionizer Auto dimming mirror with HomeLink® Prius V In addition to Prius IV features: $27,270 17-inch alloy wheels and P215/45 R17 tires LED headlamps with auto leveling and washers Integrated foglamps Optional Equipment MSRP Prius II Prius III Prius IV Prius V Navigation Package $1,800 NA Available Available Available Voice-actived touch-screen DVD navigation system with JBL AM/FM/MP3 four-disc CD changer, eight speakers, integrated satellite radio capability, XM NavTraffic capability, hands-free phone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth wireless technology and integrated backup camera Solar Roof Package $3,600 NA Available Available NA Includes Navigation Package equipment plus power tilt/slide moonroof with Solar Powered Ventilation System and Remote Air Conditioning System Advanced Technology Package $4,500 NA NA NA Available Includes Navigation Package equipment plus Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC), Pre-Collision System (PCS), Lane Keep Assist (LKA), Intelligent Parking Assist (IPA)

    also I installed a Pioneer AVIC-D3X for $650....Toyota needs over$3000 for a navigation system? I registered on this site today just to vent my anger...I wanted to buy a prius but will look at higher end Insight seriously now. I am happy with my 2007 Hybrid Highlander at this point.

    You know the Navigation is a optional package that you don't have to get, right?

    Look again, the Navigation "Package" is $1800. Yea, still steep if all you want is the navigation part, but it includes the touch screen, better sound system, hands free BT, and lots of other luxury feature that will definately make the car a more refined and more enjoyable ride.

    Navigation Package MSRP: $1,800 Available on Prius III, IV, V
    Voice-actived touch-screen
    DVD navigation system with
    JBL AM/FM/MP3 four-disc CD
    changer, eight speakers, integrated
    satellite radio capability, XM
    NavTraffic capability, hands-free
    phone capability and music
    streaming via Bluetooth wireless
    technology and integrated backup
    camera

    Now, a lot of us would love to be able to order these things a la carte...and perhaps that's more what your beef is. But the reality of car marketing is that very few items by any manufacturer are going to be offered a la carte.

    These are awesome prices. Except the only thing that's got me irked is that you need to buy a Prius IV to get 3 door SKS... disappointing that it couldnt be 3DSKS on all. But I guess I could just get the IV with Nav but no Sunroof. Eh.

    What can we expect to pay at a dealer. I assume MSRP for a while, but what about destination charges, etc. What are legitimate additions to the MSRP that I should expect and what are not legitimate. I've only purchased 2 cars in my life and don't want to be taken.

    The V plus the Deluxe NAV package sets Top Of The Line a fair amount higher than when I got mine, but BOY would I want my 2014 to be like that.

    I just hope it eventually works out that way...
