Toyota Revises Prius Hybrid in Europe April 2005

The hybrid petrol-electric Prius has been undergoing some development, most of it aimed at improving the driving quality and reducing interior noise levels. The wheels and bodyshell are now stiffer than before, spring and damper rates have been revised, and the power steering system has been revised. To keep the decibels down, Toyota has added extra sound insulation, and has added a noise-absorbing film between the two layers of the windscreen. From May 1, Prius customers can also specify black leather upholstery as an option. Like the existing alcantara suede-effect trim, this costs £1350, including VAT and fitting. SOURCE: CarKeys.co.uk
