Toyota has upgraded its hybrid Prius C in Australian market with some tweaks in design along with some extra equipment.
The Toyota Prius C is now available for sale in two variants: the standard Prius C (AUD 24,040 – P981,591) and the Prius C i-Tech (AUD 26,540 – P1.08 million). With these prices (in spite of being AUD 590 – P24,090 more expensive than before), the Prius C is billed as the best hybrid car for the money in Australia.
