Toyota Prius coming to India for sure

Toyota has confirmed that they are going to launch their Prius model in the Indian market in the coming years.

Toyota Prius is the most well known hybrid car in the world and it is also one of the best selling in this segment.

Toyota Kirloskar Motor Ltd vice-chairman Vikram Kirloskar said in a statement: “We are preparing to bring Prius into the Indian market though we have not set any timeline yet.”

Rivals Honda has already become the first automaker in India to launch a hybrid. They recently launched the Honda Civic Hybrid here.

Kirloskar added: “In the run-up, we have to develop skills to service it and make spare parts available across the country.”

He spoke about the Prius: “In the long-run, it is economical, with higher mileage and lower maintenance cost. We are confident of its acceptability in the Indian market as it runs both on electricity and fuel.”
