New Toyota Prius to be Unveiled as Hybrids Lose Luster to Battery EVs

[ad_1] Sales of the pioneering hybrid have fallen from a peak of 500,000 to around 86,000 last year. Toyota Motor Corp. is about to take the wraps off a revamped Toyota Prius, the latest iteration of a car that normalized the idea of owning an environmentally conscious vehicle more than two decades ago.Leonardo de Caprio drove one.
