1999 Toyota Prius

Automobiles

Sales were still confined to Japan in 1999, the last full year of the NHW10. Its distinctive turtle shaped gauge was used through 1999, and Toyota was forecasting that hybrids could make up a third of the world car market by as early as 2005, a target that proved far too optimistic. It was model year 3 of 6 in the Toyota Prius (first generation, XW10), 1997 to 2002, coming after the 1998 model year and before the 2000 model year. Model year pages for the Toyota Prius run from 1997 to 2025.
