Where prices have been two aspects. First we have this important difference between the two versions, Toyota justified by the increase in equipment that has the Executive option, which exceeds € 40,000, catching up on the price of a Cadillac XTS, considered a luxury saloon.
And secondly the fact that we are facing an increase of € 6,000 approximately for the cost of one of the Toyota Prius we already knew.
Anyway, remember that these prices must always apply the government subsidies for the purchase of this type of environmentally friendly vehicles at this time about € 2,000, and the launch promotion, which allows lower price in another € 2,300.
Some discounts to consider seriously if we are valuing us with one of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid. While in the UK, has already delivered the first unit.
