Kwakungu-1997 lapho kwaToyota baba nesibindi sokudlulisela emotweni yokukhiqiza ubuchwepheshe obesebuhlolwe kudala nge-prototypes. Umphumela waba yi IToyota Prius , ihybrid yokuqala yokukhiqiza uchungechunge kanye nemodeli eyabeka isisekelo sokufakwa kukagesi embonini yezimoto ngesikhathi... kungekho owayekhuluma ngakho.
Ngemuva kweminyaka engu-20, iToyota Prius isingeyesizukulwane sesine futhi ibukeka iyindida njengeyokuqala. Okuphinde kwashintsha (nokuningi) kwakuwukubukeka kwemboni yezimoto ngalesi sikhathi futhi umncintiswano wokuphayona ubungeke ube mkhulu.
Futhi ikakhulukazi iphuma ngaphakathi endlini - ingabe usibalile inani lamamodeli ayi-hybrid iToyota okufanele iwanikeze ngo-2020? I-Aygo, GT86, Supra, Hilux neLand Cruiser kuphela ezingenalo uhlobo oluxubile.
Umbuzo esiwubuzayo uthi: ingabe kunengqondo ukuthi umsunguli wama-hybrids asekhona? Ngokusebenzisa ithuba lokwenziwa kabusha kwesitayela esisanda kwamukelwa kanye nobusha bokwazi ukuba namasondo onke, sihlole iToyota Prius AWD-i.
Ngaphakathi kweToyota Prius
Njengangaphandle, ingaphakathi lePrius lifana ne…Prius. Noma ngabe ngephaneli yensimbi yedijithali emaphakathi, ephelele impela, kodwa edinga isikhathi eside ukujwayela; ngisho neqiniso lokuthi ibhuleki lesandla lisetshenziswa ngonyawo, yonke into engaphakathi kwePrius ngeke ibe ngaphezulu… IsiJapani.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
Ngendlela, ikhwalithi iphinde ilandele i-gauge yaseJapane, ne-Prius enokuqina okuphawulekayo. Noma kunjalo, angikwazi ukuzibamba kodwa ngicabange ukuthi ukukhethwa kwezinto ezisetshenziswa ngaphakathi komfowabo, i-Corolla, kwakujabulisa kancane.
Ngokuqondene nesistimu ye-infotainment, inezimfanelo ezifanayo (kanye nokukhubazeka) okuvame ukuqashelwa njengezinhlelo ezisetshenziswa ngabakwaToyota. Kulula ukuyisebenzisa (okhiye bezinqamuleli bayasiza kulesi sici) futhi baphelele. Kona kuphela ngokuba nokubukeka okwangomhla uma kuqhathaniswa nalokho izimbangi eziningi ezinakho.

Mayelana nesikhala, i-Prius isebenzisa inkundla ye-TNGA (efana ne-Corolla ne-RAV4) ukunikeza amazinga amahle okuhlala. Ngakho-ke, sinendawo yemithwalo evulekile, enamandla amalitha angu-502, kanye nendawo eyanele yokuba abantu abadala abane bahambe ngokunethezeka.

Ukuma kahle kwesibambo sebhokisi le-e-CVT kusikhumbuza isiqubulo esibhalwe uFernando Pessoa weCoca-Cola: "kuqala kuyaxaka, bese kuyangena."
Esondweni leToyota Prius
Njengoba nginitshelile, iToyota Prius isebenzisa inkundla efanayo neCorolla (okungenzeka ukuthi yiPrius eyaqala ngayo). Manje, leli qiniso elilula lilodwa liqinisekisa i-Toyota hybrid ukuziphatha okunekhono futhi okujabulisayo, ikakhulukazi uma sicabangela ukuthi i-Prius inokusebenza kahle nomnotho njengenhloso yayo enkulu.

Isiteringi siqondile futhi siyaxhumana kanti u-chassis uphendula kahle ezicelweni zomshayeli. Noma kunjalo, kukhona i-hit egxile kakhulu ekunethezekeni uma iqhathaniswa ne-Corolla. Isistimu yokushayela wonke amasondo, ngakolunye uhlangothi, iveza isenzo esisheshayo nesisebenzayo.
Ngokuqondene nezinzuzo, i-122 hp yamandla ahlanganisiwe iqhubezela i-Prius ngesivinini esimnandi ezimeni eziningi, ikakhulukazi uma sikhetha imodi yokushayela ethi “Sport”.
Ngokusobala, akunakwenzeka ukukhuluma nge-Prius ngaphandle kokukhuluma ngohlelo lwayo oluxubile, i-raison d'être. Ubushelelezi kakhulu, lokhu kuthanda imodi kagesi. NjengakwiCorolla, umsebenzi wePrius Toyota emkhakheni wokucolisiswa uyaphawuleka, okuvumela ukuncipha okukhulu kokuphazamiseka esivame ukukuhlanganisa nebhokisi le-CVT.

Okokugcina, mayelana nokusetshenziswa, i-Prius ayishiyi izikweletu ezandleni zabanye, isebenzisa kahle kakhulu uhlelo lwayo oluhlanganisiwe ukuze kuzuzwe imiphumela emihle kakhulu.
Kuso sonke isikhathi sokuhlolwa, nasekushayeleni ngokunganaki nangokusebenzisa kakhulu imodi "yeSport". lawa alinganiselwa ku-5 l/100 km . Njengoba i-"Eco" isebenza, ngithole isilinganiso esiphansi esingu-3.9 l/100 km emgwaqeni kazwelonke kanye no-4.7 l/100 km emadolobheni, futhi ngisebenzisa imodi kagesi.

IToyota Prius edonsa ngawo wonke amasondo inamasondo angu-15" alloy anebhonethi ye-aerodynamic.
Ingabe imoto ingifanele?
Ngiqale lo mbhalo ngombuzo othi "ingabe i-Prius isenengqondo?" futhi, ngemva kwezinsuku ezimbalwa ngemuva kwesondo lemodeli yaseJapane, iqiniso liwukuthi angikwazi ukukunikeza impendulo ephathekayo.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uphawu lwe-hybrid okuyiToyota Prius manje lungcono kunangaphambili. I-hybrid system iyisibuko seminyaka engaphezu kwe-20 yentuthuko futhi ihlaba umxhwele ukushelela nokusebenza kahle kwayo, ukuziphatha kwayo okuguquguqukayo kuyamangaza futhi ukusetshenziswa kuyaqhubeka kumangalisa.
Igcina idizayini nesitayela esingavumeleki - enye yezimpawu zayo - kodwa ihlala isebenza kahle kakhulu emoyeni. Inomnotho (kakhulu), ivulekile, ifakwe kahle futhi inethezekile, ngakho-ke i-Prius ihlala iyinketho okufanele icatshangelwe.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ngokuphambene nalokho okwenzeka ngo-1997, namuhla i-Prius inokuncintisana okuningi, ikakhulukazi ngaphakathi, njengoba kushiwo. Ngokwenhloso, akunakwenzeka ukuthi ngingasho ukuthi yini engiyibheka imbangi yakhe enkulu yangaphakathi, uCorolla.
Inenjini eyi-hybrid engu-122hp 1.8 njenge-Prius, kodwa ngentengo ephansi yokuthenga, ngisho nalapho ukukhetha kuyi-Corolla Touring Sports Exclusive, iveni ebangeni elinezinga eliphezulu kakhulu lesisetshenziswa. Kungani iveni? Umthamo wekhompathi yemithwalo mkhulu nakakhulu (598 l).
Kuyiqiniso ukuthi i-Prius isahola kahle kakhulu, kodwa ingabe ithethelela cishe ama-euro ayizinkulungwane ezintathu ngaphezulu (inguqulo evamile, enamasondo okushayela amabili) ye-Corolla?
IToyota Prius AWD-i entsha iphinde yengeza amasondo onke, okuhlanganisa nokukhuphuka okukhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nePrius edonsa ngamasondo amabili, okungenani kule nguqulo ye-Premium — inani layo lingama-euro angama-40 594 . Inketho yokucatshangelwa kwabanye, asingabazi, kodwa ayidingekile ekusetshenzisweni kwedolobha/amadolobha, kulapho sithola khona iningi le-Prius.
