Toyota’s hybrid car ‘Prius’ to be launched in India

by Auto Guy on October 21, 2009

The world’s largest car maker, Toyota, today said it will launch its hybrid car ‘Prius’ in India early next year.

“We will be introducing our hybrid car in India sometime in the beginning of next year and it will be Prius,” Toyota Motor Corporation Vice-Chairman Kazuo Okamoto told a group of visiting Indian journalists here.

He, however, said there are no plans yet to bring in a hybrid small car. Toyota is planning to launch a small car in the Indian market in 2011.

“We are not at all thinking about a hybrid small car right now. However, in future it is possible but nothing has been decided,” Okamoto said.

Toyota Prius is the highest selling hybrid model of TMC with a cumulative global sale of over 1.4 million units since 2000.
