The coefficient
of drag has been reduced to 0.25 from 0.26, enabling the Prius to
continue its rein as one of the world’s most slippery passenger cars.
It’s about half an inch longer, all in the cowl, a result of A-pillars
that are moved forward to radically rake the windshield; and about
3/4-inch wider.

The upper grille opening is smaller and tidier to more efficiently move
air over the hood. A new lip over the rear deck not only improves air
flow, it eliminates the chopped-off-tail look of the previous Prius.
The fender arches are a bit more aggressive, almost bulkier looking,
but they reflect additional aero improvement. The bumpers are sharper
and squarer at the corners than before. You can’t see the underbody
covers with splitters, but they too are part of the aerodynamic scheme,
to achieve that 0.25 Cd.
