Actually, I would like to talk about the car itself and a little about choosing this particular model. I was looking for a Fielder, specifically a hybrid, intact, in good configuration and with mileage in the region of 50. I used to drive both 20th and 30th Priuses - I know their big advantages and annoying disadvantages well. Fielder isn't perfect either. If, for example, the Prius is created as an independent hybrid model, which should push the boundaries of the usual, then the Fielder is simply an adaptation of an independently successful gasoline model to the needs of the public who want greater efficiency. That is, since 2012, the 160th Fielder body has been released, and in August 2013, an almost completely identical hybrid power plant from Toyota Aqua is installed in it, and we have the NKE-165 body. Which, in general, I think was not difficult, because... The 160th Fielder shares the same platform with both Aqua and Witz. Suspension parts and more fit together. Because of this, the new Fielder looks smaller from the outside than its predecessors, and also weighs less. It’s good that, thanks to competent ergonomics, the interior space was not damaged, and even grew by some crumbs compared to the 140m body. But I think what will be more interesting to many is not the comparison of the Fielder with the previous body or another model, but the difference between a hybrid and a non-hybrid one. The hybrid is noticeably heavier due to the high-voltage battery (HVB), which is located under the rear seat (by the way, there is a 12-volt battery there) and due to the inverter-converter under the hood. Although the second is in question (the battery was not easy to migrate back). By the way, the high-voltage wire from under the hood goes to the VVB directly under the bottom in an orange corrugation along the left threshold. It does not look protected from the influence of the Russian road topography due to some unfortunate combination of circumstances... Hybridity did not affect the volume of the interior and trunk in any way. On the outside, the hybrid is distinguished, in addition to the nameplates on the wings and trunk, by a different radiator grille and Toyota emblems on a blue background - like all hybrids of this brand. Hybrid Fielders exist only in front-wheel drive, and in winter the only help you have is good tires and good anti-skid (VSC + TRC), which by the way can be switched off. It works very correctly, as on the 30th Prius, allowing it to slip, but without spinning the drive wheels to the point of squealing - it simply allows them to spin, say, 10-20 km/h faster than the rear ones. By default, Hybrids also have slightly richer internal equipment, for example, they all have push-button climate control with an air ionizer and a multifunction steering wheel (full or half) and a chic on-board computer display next to the speedometer. I will definitely talk about its functionality separately and with photos another time. The hybrid is not very fast in pedal-to-the-floor acceleration and the dynamics theoretically depend on the battery charge level, because The internal combustion engine has only 74 hp. But practically the difference can only be felt if you press the gas pedal for a long time on a battery that has previously been discharged somewhere in a traffic jam, then the charge will run out and only the internal combustion engine will have thrust. If you don't play racing, you may never encounter this in the entire time. The charge is replenished quickly, both due to the internal combustion engine and due to braking (recuperation). The hybrid drives with a characteristic trolleybus sound “piiii-uuu”, and it can be heard better inside in silence than outside. The hybrid hardly wears out brake pads and discs since deceleration in most cases is due to motor generators and the pads are connected only at speeds below 7-10 km/h. By the way, this transition is not noticeable, compared to the first Priuses, when there was like a split-second gap between the recovery and the pads. Yes, I remember, this transition is felt on the Fielder, if the car has been standing in the rain for a day and the brake discs are covered with a coating of rust - then the first braking is accompanied by a noticeable dive with a slowdown when switching to the pads. And at other moments everything is smooth. On Priuses, front pads are rarely changed at mileages of up to 200 thousand km. Now the Feeder has 67 miles on it and there are no signs of wear on the discs or pads. The Hybrid Fielder has small volumes of refueling both gasoline and technical fluids - only 4 liters were spent in both cooling circuits (yes, there are two: for the internal combustion engine and the inverter), oil in the internal combustion engine 3.7 (as in a regular one), oil in the transmission - 3L (Toyota WS), tank is only 35 liters, but never fit more than 29L. While it was warm, I went to the gas station after about 700 km. The Hybrid has an electric air conditioner - you don’t need to start the engine to cool the interior. If only he had a stove from the VVB, otherwise now, with the arrival of cold weather, the internal combustion engine almost never stalls on short trips, because... The interior heating is turned on and the consumption becomes closer to summer non-hybrid. The presence of standard heated front seats is a big plus, but I’m not sure that its non-hybrid counterparts don’t have it. Most likely, the heating option is available for an additional fee to everyone. But that’s exactly what my equipment is called according to the catalogue: “Hybrid G Seat Heater”.
Well, perhaps these are all the differences that are immediately remembered. The rest of the differences are the difference in the configurations, such as lens xenon with auto-corrector, different finishing of the instrument panel and doors, smart key and keyless entry for three doors, normal sound in the doors, a camera with trajectories, heated mirrors, different upholstery seats and other little things.
Exterior and interior
The appearance of the model is not much different from the standard Toyota Prius. The design of the car's exterior follows the standard image of the hybrid line. The main differences between the models are the overall dimensions, since a comfortable hybrid station wagon, in comparison with a standard hatchback, must have different dimensions.
Salon before renovation
The Prius Alpha was produced in one generation, as well as in a restyled version. The initial variant has a slightly angular body, similar to the standard hatchback model. In front are headlights pointed towards the central part and a modest-sized radiator grille. The grille is divided in half by a chrome strip. In addition, the front bumper is equipped with an air intake strip with fog lights.
After update
At the rear, the straight trunk has a bend under the window, and the taillights, due to their position, capture the side panels, which is not approved by car owners. A smooth spoiler serves as an excellent continuation of the car roof. The side windows also look quite attractive due to their original design and interesting shape.
The car interior is distinguished by its own style and ergonomics. The front panel is strewn with multimedia control buttons and various vehicle systems. The large interactive display in the central part is easy to use, highly informative and has enviable functionality.
Second row
Equipment
The Prius Alpha trim levels are represented by a wide choice: a five-seat station wagon, a seven-seat minivan, and a Touring Selection with rich equipment. Toyota Prius α in the "S" trim level is equipped with sixteen-inch wheels, halogen fog lights, smart entry technology, push-button start, traditional fabric interior, the ability to adjust the front row of seats, as well as various configurations depending on the number of seats in the cabin. Top variants offer seventeen-inch wheels, a panoramic roof, cruise control, leather panel trim, spoilers, and a wider range of driver seat adjustment options.
There are sport trims of the Prius α in Japan

Appearance
By tradition, the appearance of the station wagon is exactly the same as that of the base sedan, which is called Toyota Corolla Axio.
Toyota Corolla Fielder third generation
Toyota Corolla Axio
From the front, the car has a calm appearance. It echoes the appearance of the European counterpart of the Corolla, the Auris, but is not identical to it. The main part of the front end is a huge air intake, made in the style of the currently produced Camry. Which undoubtedly adds solidity to the car. In a word, from the front the car looks both old-fashioned and luxurious. But a new generation has already come out, designed in the new corporate style of the Japanese company, where the front part is more modern and, I would say, youthful.
Twelfth generation Toyota Corolla. This is what the new Toyota Corolla Fielder will look like
In the lateral projection, everything is just as calm. Frankly speaking, there is nothing to catch the eye. Everything is in its place, everything is convenient and functional, but it’s all frankly boring.
Side view of the third generation Fielder
From the rear, few station wagons have an interesting appearance and Fielder is no exception. Large fifth door, separate side lights, low trunk loading height. Everything is convenient and functional, but nothing more. There is not a single detail that the eye can catch on. By the way, the optics on the trunk lid are fake, these are ordinary reflectors without bulbs inside.
Rear view of the third generation Toyota Corolla Fielder
Summarizing the impressions of the appearance of the Japanese station wagon, it must be said that replacing it with the next generation is not only overdue, but overdue. The design of the third generation Fielder is frankly boring, but at the same time functional.
To conclude the description of the appearance, let’s talk about the trunk volume of the Toyota Fielder. And despite the fact that the Japanese station wagon is a small car, it has a decent volume and is 452 liters with the backrests of the second row of seats raised. Naturally, if the seats are folded out, the volume will be much greater.
Trunk Toyota Fielder
Where European cars have a spare tire, the Fielder has a large compartment for small items. The car does not have a spare wheel at all, neither a spare wheel nor, especially, a full-size one. Instead, in its place there is a compressor for inflating the wheels with a bottle of special sealant. I think this decision is controversial for our country.
The car has a very interesting system for lowering the backrests of the second row seats. To do this, handles similar to door handles are located on the trim in the trunk. If you pull the bottom, the backrests will lower themselves; a spring drive is installed there. There is no need to carry out any additional actions, such as removing the headrests.
Schemes of interaction between an electric motor and an internal combustion engine
Engineers from different companies have different approaches to the issue of hybrid propulsion. Modern cars are equipped with hybrid engines built according to one of three schemes for the interaction of the fuel and electrical components, which will be discussed below.
Series circuit
This is the simplest option. The principle of its operation is as follows: the torque from the internal combustion engine in this case is transmitted exclusively to the generator, which generates electricity and charges the batteries. In this case, the car moves only on electric power.
A kinetic energy recovery system is also used to charge the battery. This scheme owes its name to sequential energy conversions: the energy of fuel combustion by an internal combustion engine is converted into mechanical energy, then into electrical energy using a generator, and again into mechanical energy.
- The internal combustion engine always operates at constant speed, with maximum efficiency;
- there is no need to equip the car with a powerful and power-hungry engine;
- no need for clutch or gearbox;
- The car is able to move even with the internal combustion engine turned off using the energy stored in the battery.
However, the sequential circuit also has its disadvantages:
- energy losses during the transformation process;
- large size, weight and high cost of batteries.
The greatest efficiency of this scheme is achieved when driving with frequent stops, when KERS is actively working. Therefore, it has found application in urban transport. Also, hybrid engines with a sequential circuit are used in mining dump trucks, which require high torque for operation and do not require high speed.
Parallel circuit
The operating principle of a “parallel” hybrid engine is completely different from that described above. Cars with a parallel hybrid engine drive using both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor. In this case, the electric motor must be reversible, i.e. capable of operating as a generator. The coordinated operation of both motors is achieved through computer control.
Depending on the driving mode, the control unit distributes the torque coming from both elements of the hybrid. The main work is performed by the internal combustion engine, but the electric motor is connected when additional power is needed (when starting, accelerating); when braking and decelerating, it works as a generator.
Honda hybrid cars are built according to this scheme. The main principle of the company's management: the hybrid engine design should be as simple and cheap as possible, and the function of the electric motor is only to help the internal combustion engine save the maximum possible amount of fuel. This brand has two hybrid models – Civic (discontinued in 2010) and Insight.
Series-parallel circuit
A series-parallel circuit is a combination of the first two. An additional generator and power divider have been added to the parallel circuit. Thanks to this, when starting off and at low speeds, the car moves only on electric traction, the internal combustion engine only ensures the operation of the generator (as in a series circuit).
Kia Niro 2017
At high speeds, torque is also transmitted to the drive wheels from the internal combustion engine. At increased loads (for example, when climbing a mountain), when the generator is unable to provide the required current, the electric motor receives additional power from the battery (parallel circuit).
The advantages of a series-parallel hybrid engine of this design are maximum fuel efficiency and high environmental friendliness. The disadvantages of the system are the complexity of the design and high cost, since an additional generator, a sufficiently capacious battery and a complex electronic control unit are required.
A series-parallel circuit is used on Toyota cars (Prius, Camry, Highlander Hybrid, Harrier Hybrid), as well as on some Lexus models. The Ford Escape Hybrid and Nissan Altima Hybrid are equipped with similar hybrid engines.
The most popular engine for Fielder cars
Once again, as in many other models, the 1NZ-FE becomes the champion in popularity. Designed in 1999, it was the first to appear under the hood of the Corolla Fielder. 18 years and three generations of cars have passed, and the engine, as if nothing had happened, is installed in a variety of configurations. Probably, in terms of reliability, maintainability and mileage before repairs, it can be called one of the best in the line of Toyota engines.
In terms of components and set of parts, the unit is almost completely unified with another representative of the series - 1NZ-FAE. The main differences from it:
- the operation of the fuel system is based on the principle of the Otto cycle;
- installed electronic valve timing control VVTi;
- The degree of compression is slightly reduced (to 10.5:1).
After restyling in 2004, hydraulic compensators and ETCS-i electronic throttles began to be installed on the engines.
The main advantage of choosing cars with a 1NZ-FE engine is smooth and very low fuel consumption:
- in the city - 8.8 liters;
- outside the city - 5.8 liters;
- combined - 6.9 l.

Toyota corolla 2021, station wagon, 12th generation (09.2019 - present) - technical specifications and equipment
Externally, Fielder does not stand out from the huge flow of cars in a multimillion-dollar city. However, knowledgeable people look at him with respect. Japanese wizards introduced a number of innovations on this car. For example, when the driver closes the doors after getting out of the car, the side mirrors automatically fold. When Fielder is moving in reverse, mirrors capable of changing the angle of inclination come to help the driver keep an eye on the road. This significantly helps the driver sitting behind the wheel to better navigate the road, detect obstacles in time and makes it easier to follow road markings.

Options and cost
The Avalon is available in Limited, XLE Premium and XLE Plus trim levels. All models are equipped with climate control systems, navigation and modern traffic safety technology. The official price of the sedan is from 33.5 thousand dollars.
Operation in winter
As for using Toyota in winter, everything is fine here. The engine starts immediately and the battery works as it should. True, according to the responses of some owners, it is impossible to immediately give a large load to the hybrid. It should be thoroughly warmed up before traveling. The fact is that recently engines have been made of aluminum, which is very susceptible to temperature changes.
Reference! If you are going to leave your car in the parking lot for a period of 3 days or more, then choose heated parking lots. If you don’t have any, ask a friend to warm up the engine and make short trips, at least around the parking lot. Leaving the battery idle for a long period of time can affect its usability, or even fail completely.

The unit is equipped with electronic direct fuel injection. The stop/start system is responsible for the timely start or inclusion of the electric motor.
For information! The hybrid version comes with front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive options are available only in petrol versions.
Electric motor
A 1LM synchronous AC electric motor is also paired with the gasoline engine. Power is 45 kW at 169 Nm. It is also located under the hood.
The car starts on an electric motor. You can use it as the main traction motor, but it won't last long. The “electric vehicle” mode is limited to 60 km/h, after which the internal combustion engine will automatically connect.
Battery and mileage
The car is equipped with a nickel-metal hydride battery, which contains 20 cells (6.5 Ah each). It can withstand up to 1500 full charge/discharge cycles. The function of the VBB is to power the electric motor and accumulate charge during regenerative braking.
When fully charged and following the speed limit, the car can travel no more than 1.5 km on an electric charge. The cost of replacing the VVB will be about 60,000 rubles.
The standard 12-Volt battery for powering the on-board system has a capacity of 40 Ah. The maximum starting current is 350 A. Both batteries are located behind the rear row of seats.
Fuel consumption per 100 km and dynamics
Toyota Fielder Hybrid has average dynamics. Acceleration to hundreds occurs in 11 seconds. Maximum speed – 180 km/h.
In the city, the station wagon consumes 3.9 liters of gasoline, and on the highway the consumption decreases and amounts to 3.3 liters of fuel. In the combined cycle, 2.9 liters of fuel are consumed.
Hybrid reliability, breakdowns
The Toyota Safety Sense system with expanded functionality is responsible for the reliability of the hybrid.
Advantages of the hybrid Fielder: high efficiency, spacious trunk, decent functionality, good quality finishing materials.
Disadvantages of the station wagon: rather weak characteristics, lack of all-wheel drive in the hybrid version, outdated drum brakes on the rear wheels, low ground clearance.
Among the breakdowns, it is worth highlighting overheating and loss of power to the battery. The main cause of this problem is the high-voltage wire that runs from under the hood through the bottom directly to the VVB. Given the low ground clearance and Russian roads, its damage is just a matter of time. There are two ways out of this situation: either install protection or promptly check it for wear.
Interior of Toyota Highlander hybrid
The salon impresses with its austere appeal. Only leather is used for upholstery. The front panel welcomes you with a multimedia system with an 8-inch touch screen. There are holes for air supply on the sides, and a clock and an airbag sensor on top.
Under the panel there is a climate control control unit. Even lower there is a compartment for all sorts of small items with backlighting, so finding keys or documents at night will not be difficult.
Looking at the gearshift lever, you can immediately detect USB, 12V and 220V chargers. There are also buttons for controlling several functions. On the right are cup holders and seat heating controls. The trunk volume is 368 liters, and with the rear row folded – 1189 liters.
Fielder interior, dimensions
The cabin can fit five adults, but not without difficulty. If these are large people, then only four will be relatively comfortable. Four adults and one child will be most comfortable celebrating themselves. The steering wheel fits securely into the driver's hands. There are buttons on it that control the audio system.
For those who are always in a hurry and forget to turn off the lights in the cabin, hidden assistants will do this for the driver in 20 (twenty) minutes. The electronics thus prevents premature battery discharge. What is the closed turn monitor worth, and the air conditioner installed in the cabin is capable of catching even pollen. In a word, the wonders of Japanese technology!
Flider’s special pride is the trunk with a capacity of 500 (five hundred) liters, which has two separate compartments for a fire extinguisher and a first aid kit. If you lift the trunk floor, you will see that there is a spare tire and the necessary set of duty tools conveniently located there. There is enough space in the trunk for all sorts of little things that may be useful on the road. The volume of the car's fuel tank is 50 (fifty) liters.

Model history
Corolla is a classic model of the Japanese concern, which has been produced since 1966. And during this time, 12 generations of this model appeared. The model is a representative of the world's most popular golf class and was the locomotive of Toyota, being the concern's best-selling model.
Toyota Corolla first generation
Since 2002 in Japan, all station wagons based on the Corolla have been called Corolla Fielder. A total of 3 generations of this car were produced, which corresponded to the 9th, 10th and 11th generations of the regular Corolla. There will be a Fielder based on the 12th generation, but it is not there yet, since the 12th generation is fresh and has been on the assembly line for less than a year. Today, the 3rd generation of Toyota Corolla Fielder, which was released in 2013, is on the assembly line. Let's take a closer look at it.
Options and price of Toyota Prius
The price of a Toyota Prius in the basic version today is 1,245,000 rubles. For the money you get a well-packaged 5-door hatchback. The initial configuration of “Elegance” includes a fairly large set of options, including –
- 15-inch alloy wheels
- Power-folding, heated side mirrors with turn signal indicators
- LED daytime running lights
- Fog lights
- Rear View Camera
- 6.1 inch color LCD display on the center console
- Climate control
- Adjusting the steering column for tilt and reach
- Touch control system for on-board computer on the steering wheel (Touch Tracer)
- Front airbags
- Curtain in luggage compartment
- Intelligent vehicle access system Smart Entry (driver's door)
- Polyurethane multifunction steering wheel
- Starting the engine “Push Start” (starting with a button)
- Eco drive support monitor
- Head Up Display
- Audio system with CD/MP3/WMA support 6 speakers
- Side airbags
- Curtain airbags for all rows of seats
- Driver knee airbag
- Brake Assist (BAS)
- Anti-lock braking system (ABS) with electronic brake force distribution (EBD)
- LED rear lights
- Traction Control (TRC)
But this is not the limit, there are two more configurations: “Prestige” for 1,451,000 rubles and “Lux” for 1,595,000 rubles. A special feature of the “Prestige” package is the presence of LED headlights, rain and light sensors, cruise control, an advanced audio system and a leather interior.
The “Lux” version will please you with the presence of a sunroof and a solar battery on the same roof. The energy from the solar battery in this configuration is used to operate the automatic air conditioning system in the cabin. That is, you can leave the car parked in the hot sun, and the system itself will cool the interior.
The price of a hybrid Toyota Prius is, of course, higher than that of a regular car. However, according to the manufacturer, over several years of active operation it will be possible to save quite a lot of money on fuel. This is especially important in countries where gasoline is quite expensive.

Video review and test drive of the Prius, watch a rather interesting video.
The market prospects for sales of hybrid cars in our country are not as bright as in Japan, Europe or the USA. But hybrid technology does not stand still and continues to develop. Let us remember that once upon a time mobile phones were inaccessible to the general public because they cost a lot of money, but the situation quickly improved. Let's hope that hybrid cars will also quickly become more affordable.
Summary
Will Fielders be officially sold in our country? Stupid question. Auris are produced with left-hand drive, and they are sold by official Toyota dealers in Russia. But cars with right-hand drive are not officially supplied to us and never will be.
But in the east of our country, and not only in the Far East, these cars are sold quite briskly. Moreover, local companies, when selling, give them conditions that are not much different from buying in the showrooms of official dealers. True, you probably won’t find a new Toyota Corolla Fielder from them. But one thing is that they sell two-year-old cars at prices that start at 750-800,000 rubles, which corresponds to 11-12,000 dollars.
However, if you still want to purchase an exclusively new car, then in Japan prices for a new Fielder start at 1,656,720 yen, which corresponds to $15,000, but this is in the basic, front-wheel drive configuration, with a 1.5-liter engine. If you want to buy a Toyota Corolla Fielder in the most advanced, hybrid version of the car, then the cheapest, in the X configuration, will cost you 2,229,120 yen ($20,200). All other cars will cost more, up to the most expensive, hybrid Fielder, in the G“W×B” configuration, which costs 2,536,920 yen ($23,000).
By the way, Fielders in a new body should appear soon. In Japan, the first photos of the fourth generation Fielder have already been published online.
