    Just bought my first Prius and I didn’t realize at the time what I was actually buying.
    it’s a 2014 Prius GS. I’m trying to find reliable information on it, but am only coming up with “homemade versions” that people in the US have. I know I have a Japanese version, because I physically bought it in Japan. Can someone please post a link or even a brief explanation of what makes this version different than any other Prius? Also anything I should be aware of with this model?
    Thank you for reading and for your time responding.

    3G Prius (2010-2015) Standard and Optional Equipment (Some Countries) | PriusChat

    It only has 2010 and 2011 but it's a start.

    The G's sounds like a special version with a bodykit? (G Sport). You'll have to figure out if it's based on the S or G.

    G's equipment seems to add special front sport seats (more bolsters) with alcantara (or at least a nicer fabric), black interior with red stitching, carbon fibre trim pieces replacing the silver trim pieces, perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, black shifter with red stripe accent (regular Prius is blue), red G's POWER button, aluminium pedals, the aforementioned front and rear "G's" bumper with LED accent lights in the front bumper, chrome tipped exhaust.

    That certainly matches the description of the car. It’s possible that I misunderstood the year as I struggle with the Japanese system of marking the date. It’s very different than anything the Gregorian calendar uses and resets with each Emperor, as I understand it. Thank you very kindly for the helpful explanation.
