Very interesting new specs...

It does say this though which is a bit confusing:

Quote:
The engine delivers a maximum output of 72 kilowatts, while the motor chips in another 53 kilowatts for total power of 125 kilowatts. Toyota did not provide a net horsepower figure.

That compares with about 73 kilowatts for the current engine and about 60 kilowatts for the current motor. The combined net hybrid powertrain output of the third generation is 134hp.
This is odd, but also interesting. The new combo actually puts out less power. I wonder what the combined rating will actually be.
