If true, this would be the first completely new vehicle added to the Prius stable, where it would join the well-known hatchback sometime in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>According to <em>Reuters<\/em> (which is citing the Japanese <em>Nikkei<\/em>), this new Prius hybrid minivan may be the first such vehicle from Toyota equipped with an in-house developed lithium ion battery pack. The three-row vehicle, which we can only presume would also have sliding doors, would potentially seat up to seven people, expanding Toyota&#8217;s hybrid technology further into the family-use market.<\/p>\n<p>No other details are available other than the notion that Toyota would like to keep the price close to that of standard minivans currently on the market. Stay tuned for more as we hear it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\">Geneva Motor Show: Toyota Hybrid-X concept<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autobloggreen.com\/media\/2007\/03\/toy_hy_x_press_01_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autobloggreen.com\/media\/2007\/03\/toy_hy_x_press_07_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autobloggreen.com\/media\/2007\/03\/toy_hy_x_press_09_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autobloggreen.com\/media\/2007\/03\/toy_hy_x_press_16_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/photos\/geneva-motor-show-toyota-hybrid-x-concept\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autobloggreen.com\/media\/2007\/03\/toy_hy_x_press_18_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/idUSTRE63F4TA20100416\">Reuters<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetruthaboutcars.com\/prius-minivan-approved-for-2011-launch\/\">The Truth About Cars<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/04\/16\/report-toyota-prius-minivan-coming-in-2011\/\">Report: Toyota Prius minivan coming in 2011<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:20:00 EST.
