Fully CBU?

Have you checked whether spares are available to buy?

Actually about the best selling hybrid for a while.
Just nobody buy new model since price increase.
Can actually see a few on the street, battery replacement cost around 6-7k, still okay

Very expensive cannot compete

Ori battery ni mh or li ion?

What convinced me to get 2nd hand Prius is the engine, transmission and even battery is same as those used in Toyota Cross Hybrid, which is the reason I went to Toyota showroom to try test drive the Cross hybrid, so spare parts availability shouldn't be a problem for 3rd gen Prius over the life cycle of Cross Hybrid. The 2nd and 3rd gen Prius have very strong DIY group and modders worldwide, so a lot of support even locally.

The only thing is I can't find one mechanic to help me check the car, my regular mechanic is anti-hybrid/EVs.

UMW dont want CKD this car

they want to sell 3rd world models, more margin

NiMH unless it's the 3rd Gen Prius PHEV, which uses Li-ion.

i think there is a workshop in klang call tan and tan or something like that, hybrid specialist

It's a good thing, let the 2nd hand price get depressed more.

dunno why. hybrid cars mmg lot of problems . my fren oso kenot tahan use them. end up sell n just use normal local car like iriz/ ativa. kek.

when will full EV cars see the light of day

Original is nimh but the reconditioned blades can be lifepo4 or lithium

There's a lithium pack in USA that allows to convert to plugin but it didn't hit Malaysia shores yes, dunno how to import into our country.

I can't drive the car that far to Klang to be checked before buying, and no mechanic will abandon his shop to go with you to check the car out without compensating him appropriately. That's my struggle.

A couple hundred is reasonable for such an expensive purchase.
For me I always hire people to do inspection, since if any problem found can negotiate price further.

bateri prius rm 10k, can buy 2nd hand car already

look for private seller, and ask seller to meet there at the workshop

not true

and battery pack is not the only expansive part.

Agreed, looking for one near Jln Ipoh or near Sri Kembangan race course (that's where most of these hybrids are being sold). For a Klang-based mechanic go to KL, I think more than a couple of hundred, since I believe he can earn more at the comfort of his shop with the amount of time spent on the road, lol.

Driving 2017 C-HR hybrid here. underpower aside -- it's problem free and I enjoy the quietness of the car in EV mode. Transition between EV and petrol is smoother than my balding head.

SG a lot of priuses but all used for grab and other ride hailing services. personally i feel it's ugly looking. the previous gens look so so much better.

3rd gen Prius feels sluggish, need to change to Power mode to feel adequately safe for exiting junctions/entering roundabout. BRV 'feel' like having better power to weight ratio even when compared to Prius in Power mode.
