Toyota is looking to up the ante in the hybrid world, and they're doing so in a big way... Or should we say ways? We ask because the Japanese automaker, as we've reported previously, is planning to grow the Prius lineup from being one fuel-efficient hybrid to a fleet of gasoline-sipping hybrid vehicles of all shapes, sizes, and technologies.

The all-new Toyota Prius v has already made its way here to Beaman Toyota, and the 2012 Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is set for a limited release too. In addition to the original Toyota Prius this almost completes the new Prius lineup, save for one.

Recently, Toyota shed a little light on what that final model is in a brochure. The 2013 Toyota Prius C is currently set to debut as a production model at the upcoming Tokyo Motor Show in December, and it's just what the lineup needed for a picture perfect and diverse selection.

More specifically, the Toyota Prius C is the compact addition to the hybrid lineup, and at 157.3 inches long, 66.7 inches wide and 56.9 inches tall, with a wheelbase of 100.4 inches, it measures in at being just a bit bigger than the Toyota Yaris. A compact hybrid model is something that Toyota has been lacking for some time now, so it will likely be warmly welcomed by drivers and critics alike when it finally does make its way to dealership lots like ours at 1525 Broadway (Downtown Nashville) Nashville, TN 37203.

Of course, we realize that not everyone is in the market for a new hybrid, no matter if they come in a wide range of variants. That's why you can check out the even wider range of new Toyota models that we carry simply by contacting us online or by phone at (888) 224-8350.

We're always happy to help you answer questions about specific models, such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Avalon, or any one of the used Toyota models that we carry as well. We can help you figure out how to best finance or lease them and how to keep them running like new for years down the road through our dedicated Toyota service department as well.
