    I am pretty sure the body style stayed the same. There were upgrades to battery pack, ICE RPM increase to 4,500 RPM (from 4k) and electric motor power increase. Toyota brought the new powertrain upgrade verion to US as 2001 model year.

    Send a PM to member "ken1784" since he's in Yokohama, JAPAN and knows all about the Prius from the very beginning.
