Not sure, but I believe the new Prius will look like the white Prius shown with some of the design features of the blue C-HR shown (grill and wheel well arcs). The V6 engine is from a Camry, I believe. Prius may get some light weight aluminum physical body panels.

Re: toyota prius redesign info?

The prius CHR is an all new, bigger crossover version of the prius styled differently. It's bigger, has a bigger more powerful engine and is still a hybrid. As mentioned above the engine is lifted straight from the Camry hybrid. As for the regular prius, they're just making it lighter, that's about it.
My advice, if you're looking to ditch your Prius, DON'T BUY ANOTHER ONE! They're stupid purpose defeating cars. More environmental damage is done building it (specifically those stupid batteries) than any other car.
For your next car, get a clean diesel, like one of those new VWs, theyre capable of better fuel mileage, and they perform a he'll of a lot better. Even more good news, as biodiesel fuel becomes more and more available, no more fossil fuel, so again DITCH THAT PRIUS!!!!!!!
