Well, Australians won't be happy - Toyota NZ Launches Prius Prime

TNZ launches the model with the claim it is a $150-a-year car.

"That's the yearly running costs you'll pay in New Zealand for the Prius Prime, according to Energywise. It's no wonder it was awarded the World Green Car in 2017," TNZ's general manager of product and new vehicle sales Neeraj Lala told journalists at the briefing.

They're solid claims for a vehicle that goes on the Kiwi market priced at $48,490, which is actually slightly less than the current RRP for the standard Prius GX. Mind you, that will soon change when Toyota lowers prices of all its vehicles as part of its Drive Happy Project no-haggle vehicle sales initiative.

But even so, the Prius Prime price is attractive when compared to the asking prices of other plug-in hybrids currently available in New Zealand, particularly the Hyundai Ioniq.
