$185k as of 1st Feb. Find it very expensive especially with lack of rear aircon vents, a basic need in this climate. Power and hybrid system seem good though.
Sad the 190hp 2.0 isn’t brought in. That’s the real deal. Singapore always gets the weak spec thanks to the archaic tax system. Think Altis and Civic 1.6 when other countries got 1.8 as the minimum.
Nice but sadly despite Borneo Motors soon to launch Prius, we are getting the lowest grade, meaning small infotainment screens (or a larger less integrated looks), more hard plastics interior door panels. More like a Cat A budget build car for a Cat B price.
I don’t understand Prius Gen 5th in Singapore rear strip light does not illuminate. In US, the light strip looks cool at night. Hopefully, Borneo version is similar to US version.
Taxi spec 1.8L Prius dont make sense. 134bhp 1.8L Cat B Bring in the Superior 2.0L 200hp Cat B spec and give me a call. Do the Gen 5 Prius some justice.
Having seen the Borneo Motors (BM)Prius, got to say this PI Prius, the rims and the way the after-market headunit installed are way better than BM units.
it ultimately depends on the importer. the screens are replaced by shoddy aftermarket units bc of import taxes. would be nice if singapore got the same powertrain and trim options as the rest of the world but toyota doesnt seem to care about the asean market.
Hybrid lah. Ev in cat B is just an expensive toy. Who wants to buy a used EV when Avg EV batt warranty only 8yrs or 160000km. And used Ev batt condition n degradation cannot be assessed. What if software support n debugging stops n rendering the EV unusable before the 10yr COE up. And will the EV company still be around in 10yrs time esp those from china flooding the market. Ev has too many sensors and parts, which can only be sourced, replaced from the original company.

For a car with 1.8 litre engine.. power and torque seems lacking.. Toyota needs to do more. This car is really an eye changer.
Hybrid is the way to go…🎉
nice looking car. I think Taxi drivers would like it.
Having seen the Borneo Motors (BM)Prius, got to say this PI Prius, the rims and the way the after-market headunit installed are way better than BM units.
I would totally buy this if the road don't have so many taxis using this lol
wow it looks definitely gorgeous 😍 (and wait borneo motors doesn't bring the official units just yet right 😲)
Borneo Motors is launching the Prius.
@@ianpolo5673 ah nice that's what i expected 👌👍
Can you guys do a video review of the Toyota Aqua as well? Seem’s like there’s only a review article and a video of the road trip to KL
hey bro. any idea/news if this car coming to Malaysia and when?
Can check if the price is inclusive of gst
Isn't this going to be detuned to Cat A for SG market?
Nice review by a Grab uncle. But not very well scripted.
11:08, and THAT is the reason why you have PHV heros on the first lane chugging along at 70kph.
Agree with reviewer that this car is closer to a Cat A car but priced in Cat B category.
this has reborned as a taxi car in sg
13:23 Finding a place to test its suspension...
All those ports are a waste being Japanese ports. Anybody knows how to have that refitted?
Avante hybrid please
Finally a real review on this beauty. BM also bringing in Liao
Not the 2.0 DFE hybrid?...
Geezz.. still the old age 1.8 hybrid
After so many years prius design still didnt get it right. Camry is still the best for me.
Alot of new prius taxi on the road recently
Looks quite nice for a toyota 😂
Nice...futuristic taxis n grabs
Toyota should be flooding this car in the market by mass manufacturing in Thailand but they keeping it like some sort of Lamborghini wtf
wtf with the nnm? How to drive to Genting ?
It's a taxi in Singapore!
Spiffier than my 2015 Prius C “old man’s car”…
Comfort taxi Prius 👍👍👍
This car seems not suitable for tall person.. very low roof height for front and rear.
Rather get the new 2025 Camry
The infotainment system in 2024 is the fugliest
For newgen taxi uncles....
Prius smoother drive.dashboard looks like a honda
Borneo motor launching prius….
185,000 i can buy a castle in Jaybee
Cabin full of hard plastic and yet close to 200K
Overpriced for such a basic car, Toyota interiors are one of the most outdated.
Japanese cars really lose out to Korean cars with regards to the interior
But they run longer reliably

The old models are better

Prius cat B lol
Still a taxi…
❤
The interior looks so….cheap 😂
Everything about this car is shouting “taxi uncle”. Wouldn’t even consider this if Toyota drops this to 120k. So plasticky and dated interior.
