January 10, 2011 – Carson, Calif. – Carson Toyota confirms, Toyota has unveiled the Prius family of vehicles at the 2011 North American International Auto Show.

The new Prius v midsize hybrid-electric vehicle and the Prius c Concept vehicle joined the iconic hybrid brand, broadening the appeal of Prius to all ages and lifestyles at the International Auto Show in Detroit.

 “The new Prius models will meet the needs of growing families with active lifestyles while providing the same attributes traditionally found in the original Prius,” said Carson Toyota’s General Sales Manager, Marty Brylski. 

The new evolution of vehicles will further increase the acceptance of hybrids with Prius’ core values of high fuel economy, low emissions, proven technology and environmental stewardship.

Inside, the Prius v emphasizes overall proportion with spaciousness and flexibility for active families.  Comfortable interior space and good visibility has been assisted by a high seating position with ample head room, and an impressive 38-inch couple distance, providing generous rear legroom.
