The Most Luxurious & Cost Effective MPV – The New Prius+

June 25, 2012 · pinkstones

The Prius+ is a new addition to the Prius Family and is due to arrive in our dealership in early July.

To discover for yourself how silent and comfortable the new Prius+ is to drive, just call us on 01782 608579

Prius Plus

So what is the Prius+ ?

Quite simply, it’s a luxurious way for up to 7 people to travel in 1 car, whilst also managing to keep costs at a minimum.

Who is it for?

The new Prius+ is mostly aimed for large families but adults can also find the interior very spacious in the back. Therefore it can also be a fantastic way for up to 7 adults to travel.

How luxurious is it?

There are many highlights about the new Prius and below are a few of them:

The largest resin panoramic roof increases the feel of space and is 40% lighter than a glass panoramic roof. It also has a higher level of heat resistance. The sunroof can also automatically close when you lock the car so the cabin is shaded while parked in hot weather.

Spacious leather upholstery 7 seater interior, with seats set in 3 rows. Each seat can be folded down independently and easily. Even with 7 people the cargo capacity is 200 litres. With the 3rd seating row stowed, this increases to 505 litres.

The 7-seater Prius+ offers the innovative Toyota Touch as standard. With a 6.1″ display screen and a Touch Tracer control, you can use the  rear view parking camera, play your favourite MP3 songs and connect your phone via bluetooth. You can also upgrade this to Toyota Touch & Go to include Sat Nav, Online Local Search (to find nearby hotels, restaurants and much more), Google Send to Car (perform Local Searches at home and ‘send’ to your car) as-well as a range of additional applications.

On top of this the new Prius+ comes with:

  • keyless Smart Entry and Smart Start
  • Rain sensing wipers
  • Heads-up display, showing your chosen information on the windscreen itself (e.g. MPH)
  • Automatic dual-zone climate control
  • 8 speaker DAB radio

What makes the new Prius+ so cost-effective?

The T4 grade Prius+ offers the lowest combined cycle fuel consumption (68.9mpg) and CO2 (96 g/km) of any 7 seater MPV on the market. To buy, the T4 Prius+ is £26,195

The T-Spirit grade Prius+ offers 64.2mpg and 101 g/km CO2. To buy, the T-Spirit is £29,445.

In comparison with other 7 seater MPV cars on the market, this is the most cost-effective to run and buy. When you consider you’ll be travelling in luxury too, this Prius+ is a car that is set to be a firm favourite for people who need a large car!

Sister given free Aygo in Stoke

Would Your Sister Buy You a Car?

June 7, 2012 · pinkstones

Another happy story from a happy customer at Pinkstones Toyota! This is one that really caught our attention; a very generous, helpful young woman purchased a Toyota Aygo for her sister!

Aygo given to Sister in Stoke

Erin purchased the Approved Used Toyota Aygo from us because she knew Toyota and our Centre very well. She explained, “I’ve got a Toyota, my mum’s got a Toyota… and now my sister has! We love our cars and when I thought about the possibility of buying Louise a car to help her, Toyota was my first choice.”

Louise lives in Manchester and had no idea that the car was being bought for her. It was a great surprise and she couldn’t wait to take it home!

“I love it and the blue is the best colour!” Louise was smiling the entire time and tucked her little girl into their new car. “I needed a new car and I’d been wondering what to do, so this is the best present. She’s never treated me to anything like this before, so it’s been a big shock. I love the Aygo and it’s got a really cute face too!”

We only had time to do a few photographs as the rain was coming down (typical British summer!) but luckily the sun came out just long enough to get a few of them.

“I left work early to come here and I was asked where I was going, I said I was going to buy my sister a car… and they laughed in shock!” said Erin, “Obviously it’s not something that happens every day. I know it’s a big thing to do but she’s worth it and I wanted to get her a car that would be cheap to run, cheap to service, have great economy and be able to seat her little girl in with no problem.”

As a treat for being featured on our blog, Louise can have 10% off her first service at Pinkstones Toyota or a half price valet. “I’ll definitely be back for the service!” she laughed, “Can’t miss out on that, even if I have to drive from Manchester.”

If you have a Toyota car and would also like 10% off a service, or half price valet, or even 10% off the price of Toyota parts, then contact us today to discuss having your car featured. We’ll also give you the full resolution images without the watermark so you can print them if you like!

Prius Plug in Stoke on Trent

Which Car Can do 134.5MPG?

June 7, 2012 · pinkstones

A car which can deliver 60-70mpg is considered a very economical car, but have you heard of one which can do 134.5mpg?

There’s a new Toyota car due to arrive in July, which can not only deliver the highest mpg ever from a manufacturer, but it can also do 15.5 miles on pure electricity.

Which car is this?

Meet the new Prius Plug-in.

Prius Plug in Stoke

The new Prius Plug-in is a ground-breaking car, offering performance and incredible economy in one. Toyota were the very first to launch hybrid vehicles and other manufacturers actually pay Toyota to learn about hybrid technology! Toyota have created a new “first” in hybrid technology, offering a performance that shadows the competition.

Some highlights of this incredible car:

  • £5,000 towards the cost of buying this car from the Government
  • Capable of 112mph and 134.5mpg
  • Up to 62mph and a distance of 14.3miles on pure electricity
  • Think it takes a day to charge an electric car? The Prius Plug-in only takes 90 minutes.
  • The car can be charged by a conventional 3 pin socket and 230v power supply
  • You can set the charge to happen on a timer, to take advantage of when your electricity is at its cheapest rate (for e.g. if your electricity is cheaper at 2am than 5pm, then you can plug it in and set it to charge at 2am)
  • Very low CO2 emissions of just 49g/km

The new Prius Plug-in is the ultimate car to have if you’re looking for comfort, space, economy and high-end technology. Other key specifications include:

  • Rain sensing wipers
  • Head-up display (you choose which information is displayed on the windscreen for ease of use)
  • Heated seats
  • LED daytime running lights
  • LED headlamps and washers
  • Toyota Touch and Go Plus system (with sat nav, rear view parking camera, MP3/iPod, bluetooth or USB connection, online Local Search, on-screen display of contacts and calendar with text-to-speech feature, and so much more..)
  • Smart Entry and Smart Start (keyless feature; the car senses your approach and opens)
  • 8 JBL speakers for premium surround sound

Here are some images of the new Prius:

Additional to this, Toyota has partnered with British Gas.

This means that British Gas will conduct a free no-obligation survey of your home or work premises to assess if your existing power points are suitable for the new Prius. If they aren’t, a dedicated charging socket is available (pictured above) with prices starting from just £275.

Including the £5,000 Government Grant, the new Prius Plug-in costs just £27,895.
