At the end of 2003, Toyota unveiled the second generation Prius. A blend of futuristic design and technology that delivers D-segment levels of space, comfort and performance with B-class economy and CO2 exhaust emissions of just 104 g/km.

Its achievements in reducing the environmental impact of motoring earned Prius the 2005 European Car of the Year award.   

Demonstrating that technological advances do not adversely affect safety, Prius was accorded the top five-star rating for passenger protection in official Euro-NCAP crash testing with the equal highest score in its class. Moreover, it established a new benchmark in the level of child passenger protection. All grades feature eight airbags, ABS, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Traction Control (E-TRC) and Vehicle Stability Control Plus (VSC+).
    
Toyota Prius is not intended to be an eco-car that sacrifices driving pleasure, comfort and space as a trade-off for low emissions. With its unique and advanced Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive, the latest Prius is the cleanest family car currently available to the motoring public and successfully demonstrates that being ‘green’ does not equate to dull performance or compromised packaging.
    
The Toyota Prius can return a fuel consumption that is comparable to the best B-segment diesels. Figures for consumption are 65.7mpg for the combined cycle and Prius can accelerate from nought to 62mph in less than 11 seconds. Finally, exempt from London Congestion Charge Prius represents a saving of up to £2,000 per annum to a commuter.
