The Toyota Prius c (c stands for "city"), named the Toyota Aqua in Japan, is a full hybrid gasoline-electric subcompact hatchback produced by Toyota Motor Corporation. The Prius c is the third member of the Prius family, and combines the features of a Yaris-sized car with a hybrid powertrain. The Prius c is priced lower than the conventional Prius and has a higher fuel economy in city driving under United States Environmental Protection Agency test cycles.[2][3] The Prius c is ranked by the EPA as the 2012 most fuel efficient compact car when plug-in electric vehicles are excluded.[4][5]

The production version of the Aqua was unveiled in the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show. The production Prius c was introduced in the U.S. at the January 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.[6] The Aqua was launched in Japan in December 2011 at a price of ¥1.69 million (US$21,700).[7] Sales in several Asian markets began in January 2012.[8][9] The Prius c was released in the U.S. and Canada in March 2012.[10][11] Sales in Australia and New Zealand began in April 2012.[12][13] Since its release, more than 300,000 units have been sold worldwide through December 2012, and sales are led by Japan with 266,557 Aquas, followed by the U.S. with 35,733 Prii c.[14][15] The Aqua is considered the most successful nameplate launch in Japan in the last 20 years,[16] and with global sales of 409,500 units as of March 2013, the Prius c/Aqua ranks as the second Toyota Motor Corporation most sold hybrid after the regular Prius.[17]

Concept cars [edit]

Prius c concept exhibited at the 2011 Washington Auto Show.

The Toyota Prius c concept car was unveiled at the January 2011 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Toyota explained that the 'c' in 'Prius c' stands for "city"-centric vehicle as it is much smaller than the normal Prius and is aimed at younger buyers without families who don't need lots of space."[18]

Together with the introduction of the production version of the Toyota Aqua at the 2011 Tokyo Motor Show, the carmaker also exhibited two other Aqua concepts, the Aqua Kiriri version and the Aqua Piriri.[19]

Specifications [edit]

Hybrid Synergy Drive of Toyota Aqua (Prius c)

Built on a Yaris platform, the Prius c features Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive with a 1.5-liter DOHC four-cylinder, 16–valve with VVT-i gasoline engine with a high-output motor. The hybrid system includes a new inverter, motor and battery. The hybrid powertrain weighs around 88 lb (40 kg) less than that of the standard Prius Liftback.[3][20] The 1NZ-FXE engine[21] produces 54 kW (73 hp) and the HSD motor is rated at 45 kW (60 hp). Total output is rated at 74 kW (99 hp).[22]

The body of the Prius c is smaller than the traditional Prius, with a wheelbase of 2,550 mm (100.4 in) it is 150 mm (5.9 in) shorter between the axles, and with a length of 4,000 mm (157.3 in) the Prius c is 490 mm (19.1 in) shorter over all than the standard Prius Liftback.[1]

Fuel economy and emissions [edit]

Toyota estimates the fuel economy 35 km/L (82 mpg-US) (2.86 L/100 km) on the official JC08 Japanese test cycles and 40 km/L (94 mpg-US) (2.5 L/100 km) under the 10-15 test cycle.[1][23] Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency test cycles, the Prius c is rated at 53 mpg-US (4.4 L/100 km; 64 mpg-imp) city and 46 mpg-US (5.1 L/100 km; 55 mpg-imp) highway, for a combined fuel economy of 50 mpg-US (4.7 L/100 km; 60 mpg-imp), the same as the conventional Prius but better in city driving.[2][24] The Prius c emission certification is SULEV.[1]

The Prius c is ranked by the EPA as the 2012 model year most fuel efficient compact car excluding plug-in electric vehicles. When electric-powered cars are considered, the Chevrolet Volt ranks on top of the compact car category, followed by the Prius c.[4][5]

Production [edit]

The Prius c is assembled at the Iwate Prant of Toyota Motor East Japan, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation, in Kanegasaki, Iwate in northern Japan.[3] Toyota's initial production target was 12,000 units per month, with a maximum production capacity of 30,000 units per month. Due to initial high demand in the Japanese market, the Aqua/Prius c is expected to be in short supply until Toyota increases production capacity.[25]

The decision to manufacture at Toyota Motor East Japan (formerly Kanto Auto Works) was motivated by the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami - Toyota is making a valuable economic contribution to the region in providing jobs and development associated with production.[citation needed]

Markets and sales [edit]

During 2012 a total of 313,437 units were sold worldwide, led by Japan with 266,567 Aquas sold, representing 85% of the model global sales.[26][14] The Prius c is not available in Europe, instead, Toyota is selling the Toyota Yaris Hybrid since June 2012.[27] The Yaris Hybrid shares the same powertrain as the Prius c.[28] Global sales of the Prius c/Aqua reached 409,500 units as of March 2013, ranking as the second Toyota Motor Company most sold hybrid after the regular Prius.[17]

Japan [edit]

The Aqua was launched in Japan in December 2011 at a price of ¥1.69 million (US$21,700).[7] Toyota initially established a sales target of 12,000 units per month, but before its market launch, Toyota had received orders for 60,000 Aquas, creating a four-month waiting list for deliveries.[29] By January 31, 2012, the number of orders grew to 120,000.[25] The Aqua was the third top selling new car in the Japanese market in February and March 2012, and ranked second from April through September, surpassed only by the combined sales of the regular Prius and Prius α, as Toyota is reporting sales of both models together.[30][14] The Aqua ranked as the top selling new car in Japan in October 2012, surpassing combined sales of the regular Prius and the Prius α, which ranked second, and ending the Prius brand record of being the top selling new car in Japan for 16 months in a row.[31][32] The Aqua kept the top selling spot through December 2012, and with 266,567 units sold in 2012, the Aqua ranked as the second best selling car that year after the Prius brand.[14][33]

When sales of these two Prius models are broken down, the Toyota Aqua ranks as the top selling model in Japan, including kei cars, and the Aqua led monthly sales since February through December 2012.[34][35][36] Cumulative sales reached 347,600 units through March 2013[17] and the Aqua was the top selling car in Japan during every month of the first quarter of 2013.[37] The Toyota Aqua is considered the most successful nameplate launch in Japan in the last 20 years.[16]

United States [edit]

Sales of the Prius c began in the U.S. in March 2012, at a price starting at US$18,950 plus a US$760 destination charge.[5][10][11] After three days in the American market, the carmaker announced that the Prius c became "one of Toyota's fastest-selling vehicles."[38] During its first month in the market, the Prius c sold 4,875 units, accounting for 17.0% of the Prius family sales in the U.S.[39] A total of 35,733 units were sold during 2012, and the Prius c ranked as the fourth best selling hybrid car in the U.S that year.[40][15] Cumulative sales reached 45,598 units through March 2013.[15][41]

The Prius c is offered in four trims named Prius c One through Prius c Four.
