Prius Package 1 - If/when/where ?

Its for rentals and fleets users only. I think Toyota wanted it to compete with the Insight but as the Insight has turned out to be a yawn its not necessary.

 

From what I remember, there was talk about the Prius I, but they only made a few hundred cars. As far as I know, the Prius II is as low as it gets

 

The equivalent of the most basic package I - the L - is sold in Japan. It is usually a company car as there are a lot of differences to the comfort related things, insulation, etc, to get a lower weight and higher fuel economy. Normal speaker configuration is 6, but the L only has 4 for example. There are a number of options that can`t be chosen for it.

I believe there is a list of differences between Prius models in various countries - I think that the listing for the L in Japan will probably be the closest to the info on I in the US.

 

I suppose in North America, the P-II is the de-facto P-I. If that is going to be the case why not just call the P-II a P-I? P-III to P-II and so forth?

 

could it get any lower than the prius ii? What are they going to take off next? the ac? lol or make plastic seats?

 

Lessee, basic 4 speaker radio/cassette (do they still make those?), no SKS, steel wheels, no auto climate control, no steering wheel controls... anything else we can strip off this puppy?

 

Didn't know there was much insulation in the higher models either.

 

Not much and none are quite different when it comes to road noise, heating, cooling, etc. Even a single thin sheet will make a difference.

 

does anybody know for sure if they have steel wheels?




if so we could get the part number and order them
