v is for versatile
One powertrain innovation that is currently unique to the Prius v is called the “Pitch and Bounce Control System”. The objective of this system is to reduce the pitching or proposing over road undulations. The first couple of times the system activates, it seems a bit weird that the car doesn’t move the way you expect. Then it sinks in that the ride is smoother than it should be for the road surface you are on.

Options
Adding to the extensive list of standard equipment are three optional packages; Luxury, Touring and Touring/Technology. Since all major items are part of the packages, you might say there are only three options for the Prius v and a few dealer-installed accessories. The Prius v will carry a $27,200 MSRP when it goes on sale in the coming weeks.
