Body Styles and Trim Options

As any enthusiast is sure to know, the Toyota Prius was completely redesigned for the 2004 model year and so was Rvinyl's custom dashboard kit. For the second generation, the Prius was sold only as a four door hatch (I guess that's not considered a wagon anymore) but there are a host of options available. The standard features are surprisingly ample and include the following: And what's more, you get all of this for under $20K.

The Exterior - Surprisingly Aerodynamic

Most people don't equate the Prius with speed or aerodynamics but, according to Toyota’s executive engineer, it has a drag coefficient of 0.26 which makes it one of the most aerodynamic cars in the world. This remains true despite the fact that the length of the Prius has increased by about 5-inches and has added 90 pounds to its weight. But it is precisely the shape of the five door lift-back that gives it its impressive cargo hauling capability and room for four adults.

The Interior - Space Age Meets Tree Hugger

Although a large part of the design cues from the original Prius were carried over to the second generation, it must be said that Toyota put some thought into updated the overall look and giving the Prius a more sophisticated appearance. The addition of metallic accent trim on the dash vents and center console helps to add to the futuristic appeal and the over sized gauge cluster gives the cockpit an almost cartoonish feel. Push button start completes the feel of being in a space car and the overall layout of the dash and controls only contribute to the effect.
