- [Narrator] The refreshed third generation Prius
enters the 2012 model year with a number of styling updates
and feature enhancements.
Up front, you'll find new headlamps
framing a redesigned grill.
The 2012 bumper features a wider opening
and sharper corners to improve both the look
and aerodynamics.
And the new LED daytime running lights
with an on/off feature appear just below the turn signals
while the available fog lamps have been moved
to the bumper opening.
Around the side, you'll find
updated alloy wheels and covers.
And in the back, designers took a fresh, new approach
to the LED tail lamps that help set the 2012 model year
apart from it's predecessor.
Inside you will find new, brighter colors
for parts of the instrument panel.
A new center armrest design improves access
to the second front cup holder.
Improved graphics in the multi information display
make it easier to read.
And the information available now includes
an eco savings record, allowing drivers to estimate
how much less they have spent on fuel
than they would have driving a vehicle
they input into the system.
Some of the most significant changes
have to do with the popular feature availability
at lower trim levels.
