If you’re still searching for a Toyota Prius car toy with pull-back function for your children, here’s some great news that a new toy car modeled after the Toyota Prius V has recently hit the market recently, filling the gap left by the lack of new releases in recent years.
As you know, there are a few Prius variants based on the Prius platform such as Prius X, Prius C and so on, and Toyota Prius V is the first variant in these lineups. In addition to the Prius V nameplate which is used in many countries, there are different nameplates in different countries, for example, the same Prius V is named as Toyota Prius α in Japan, Toyota Prius+ in Europe and Singapore and Toyota Grand Prius+ in Benelux. Between 2013 and 2021, one car named as Mebius manufactured by another automobile enterprise Daihatsu is also the rebadged vehicle of it.
The Toyota Prius V is an extended multi-purpose variant of the regular Prius. Compared with the standard compact hatchback, it features a longer wheelbase and larger body, offering extra rear legroom and a far bigger cargo area to fit luggage or strollers.
While both share the same hybrid powertrain for low fuel consumption, the standard Prius focuses on city commuting with compact size for easy parking. The Prius V targets family users, providing optional three-row seating and improved load capacity. Its heavier body leads to slightly higher fuel usage than the basic Prius, yet it remains a practical hybrid choice for large households.
The new released Toyota Prius V car toy is made in China, two different colors including white and black are available. Its marked scale is 1/32 scale, however, according to feedback from several buyers, its actual length is 17 centimeters, which is noticeably longer than standard 1:32 scale toy cars.
We have introduced two Toyota Prius car toys with pull-back function before, Two Toyota Prius Diecast Toys With Pull-Back Function for Kids , however, the functions on these two toys are limited, such as openable car doors and pull-back function. You can find more new features on this new released car toy.
First of all, traditional 1/32 scale toy cars adopt a two-door design, that means their rear doors cannot be opened when playing. This newly released Toyota Prius V toy car features a openable four-door design, making it much more realistic to the real vehicle.
Secondly, you can feel the car’s suspension by gently pressing down the rear wheels, which is the feature usually only found on most 1/18 scale models.
Lastly, its most authentic real-car function is that a horn sound will play when you press the steering wheel. Undoubtedly, all these new features bring more fun to kids.
In yesterday's post, we introduced three Toyota Avanza Veloz toy cars by Tomica , which are ideal items for kids aged 3 to 8. However, if you are diecast model collectors, you will think these Tomica replicas fall short of collectible standards. For instance, they are not fitted with rearview mirrors which is common among Tomica cars. While this is not a defect, it keeps the models from being perfect. In the diecast model market, the only Toyota Avanza model suitable for collectors is a 1/43 scale model, as shown in the pictures below. This 1/43 scale Toyota Avanza model is the replica works of 2nd generation Toyota Avanza released in 2011 with codename F650. They are manufactured by the famous brand Kyosho but marked as the RIMS brand. You can choose your favorite one among blue, black, brown and gray. In addition to the 1/43 scale model, if you are looking for a 1/18 scale Toyota Avanza model, the answer in NO, but you can select its variant as replacement. As we mentione...
