Is better you go test drive both car yourself.

You can refer some link as below

PC have 7 airbags & other safety feature & a big drawback for Insight is the air-con will cut off together with engine when you stop at traffic light or waiting.

Good luck

I actually tired both, my hearts go 70% PC n the rest still with Insight.

I wondering how Eco n EV mode contribute to the fuel consumption, and does it cut the air con or any devices when its on?

Thanks again

Nope, everything remain the same, only the acceleration change & throttle response different. Like EV mode especially you intend to drive slow in parking area or housing area.

U should consider jazz hybrid as u mentioned (4. Can rear seat fits 3 adult?)

i got my PC on Tuesday and had been driving round trip from Rawang to Cyberjaya for two days. Just wonder how's the hybrid synergy drive system works. I find that the petrol engine (orange arrow) keep kicks in (above 60km/hr) and very rarely coming out from the hybrid battery (green arrow). Is there something wrong with the way I drive?

What is the ideal fuel efficiency level? I see some of you manage to get above 30km/hr. How to do that?

.... I only got 5K rebate..... should lobby my SA for free tinting...

Added on November 16, 2012, 12:21 amTest drove all 3 cars.....Insight, Jazz (HB) & Prius C.........couldn't help but love the PC ....immediately cancelled the booking for Insight and booked the PC without hesitation right after the test drive on PC ( which was the last of the 3).......PC is greater in terms of handling & engine sound...can really feel the difference. Also the Insight was put off by the back mirror view & aircon cut off during engine idle... couldnt imagine how hot it would be in a massive traffic jam and need to wind down window kah?

i thought they solved this stupid flaw

That on the new 2012 HCH only. Rest have to wait la

Just for u guys info for those who still compare btw pc n jazz. I bought my jazz with 8.5k cash rebate

guys, anyone know how the LEDs on the official prius c with trd bodykit works? turn on small light or power on?

Good question.. ...I heard from somewhere that once you start the car it will switch "on". I don't know its true or not. I rather have it switch on with the small light.

HSD mean it work together with Engine & Motor. If you cruise above 60-70km/h & when accelerate, engine will kick in due to engine is more efficient in high speed & more powerful.

Just visit toyota site for more info on HSD.

30km/l are base on good traffic condition & driving condition(light footer). Average are 20-22km/l.

agree, if you drive without monitoring the display, most likely you'll get 20-22km/L range..


oh btw guys, my first tank = 760km, 32.1224litre.. was hoping to get 800km but I guess that requires a bit of driving technique.. xD

if i get about range 22 to 26km/l very good d

normal petrol engine from 11 to 18km/l

already range about 50% more....

no point much difference for 2 or 3km/l, correct me if I wrong....

it shud be comparing with the previous car u driving....

current now mine is less than 11km/l for a almost 30 yr old toyota corrolla

get a prius C theoretically is might get at least 30 to 40% better fuel consumption....

looks the PC consumption is quite similar to NGV but harder to maintain NGV & gas cheaper....

According to Toyota estimates the fuel economy 35 km/L (82 mpg-US) (2.86 L/100 km) on the official JC08 Japanese test cycles and 40 km/L (94 mpg-US) (2.5 L/100 km) under the 10-15 test cycle.

Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency test cycles, the Prius C is rated at 22.5 km/L (53 mpg-US) (4.4 L/100 km) city and 23.3 km/L (46 mpg-US) (5.1 L/100 km) highway, for a combined fuel economy of 21.2 km/L (50 mpg-US) (4.7 L/100 km), the same as the conventional Prius but better in city driving.

I think I trust the US rating more, if not those American will start to sue Toyota. but also depend how you drive

how come (46 mpg-US) (5.1 L/100 km) highway use more fuel? Is it 4.1/100km?

I think maybe US is using same rim as us & their driver weigh much heavier...haha

where else japan is using smaller rim & tire...if unsprung weight different 10kg is a lot difference.... means 2.5kg a rim....

IINM thats the oni difference....

Hi All,

Just wondering do you guys updated the maps on the navigation?
I noticed that the maps in the SD card is year 09,
How and where can we update the latest map????

1.My PC 1st full tank RM60 can drive 750KM 100% town drive.

2. so far i havent reach 1000km, dunno how the service yet.

3. The engine very quiet n smooth, but when drive at 80km/hour above, lot of wind sound n tyre sound.

4. Cant sit 3 adult as the middle seat is higher than the 2 side seat, if an adult sit on the midle, he will block ur rear view. Plus the midle seat very narrow, only suitable for kids.
