Whether you love or hate it, the Toyota Prius is the car credited with changing the world.
While it wasn't, as many believe, the first hybrid vehicle, it was the first to be mass-produced.
At the time of its launch, many didn't like it, many didn't get it - many saw it as a gimmick that would soon disappear once everyone was over the novelty of it.
But instead, other manufacturers soon followed suit before plug-in hybrids took things even further, followed by the first fully electric cars.
The Prius was definitely a trailblazer then, and then it evolved. Now it’s progressed some more.
While it was initially only available as a self-charging model, known better today as a full hybrid (HEV), it’s now only available as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) in the UK. However, full hybrid versions continue to be available in other parts of the world.
Secondly, its looks have been refined and modernised over the years, leading us to this newly launched model.
The Prius is officially a liftback, a hatchback with an extended rear end that slopes down far more gently than a traditional hatchback.
Believe it or not, this is already the fifth-generation version - albeit only the fourth to come to the UK. So, Toyota has had two decades to refine its model for British shores.
That said, it originally planned to market something other than this new model in the UK before changing its mind and launching the plug-in hybrid version.
So, is it any good?
That is what we’re hoping to find out.
