The Maximum Yellow Prius bears 'TC' plates, Thailand's temporary trade plate, issued to manufacturers indicating that it is a manufacturer's internal development unit and not a reconditioned used car from abroad.

The fifth-generation 2024 Toyota Prius' path to ASEAN looks to be getting stronger as there is solid news out of Indonesia that implies the model will be introduced there in the near future, reports local news portal Otodriver. A recent press conference by PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), the brand custodians there, revealed that the automaker is slated to launch two new models at the upcoming Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) 2024 that's taking place from 18- to 28-July 2024.

We have been looking forward to this for a while, and as advertised on WapCar’s Cars for Sale page, here is the first recond unit of the oh-so-cool 5th-generation (XW60) Toyota Prius, now on sale in Malaysia.
