Was discussing Prius models with another Prius liftback owning relative. I called the new station wagon like model the "V" the other fellow said that it is not V, but Roman numeral 5. Now I read on this site that the Roman numeral designation was only used on the 2010 models. Someone correct me on this so I can call it by the correct name, is the wagon version of the Prius a "V" or a "5" ? TIA.
The wagon version is a v (small v, pronounced vee, which apparently stands for versatile). The 2010 V is roman numeral 5.
In 2010, the Prius liftback had packages designated I, II, III, IV, and V (Roman Numerals). When the Prius v (vee) station wagon came out, the Prius Liftback packages were designated 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
dislike all of it. worst designations in the history of cars. it's hard to be old and confused, then they throw this foolishness at you.
Correct on the 1st point. For reference, for the OP, Toyota Vehicles : Toyota Announces Prices for 2010 Prius / Toyota uses the Roman numerals. Prius I, and Other News | PriusChat still used it, since it was still MY 2010. The changeover to the 1,2,3,4,5 or One, Two, Three, etc. actually happened before the Prius v wagon was announced. See MY11 Prius | PriusChat. At the time, we all thought nothing of it... It made more sense once the v wagon was announced later.
Prius 1-5 plus Prius v is just as confusing as the other manufacturers and their XTS, MKZ, CTS, STS, MKS...........
