Trunk rear is flat. Roofline is similar to the current Prius.

May not be a hatchback as trunk seems independent of rear window.

Prius sedan?

Just to compare:

it is 99% sure that this is Prius PHEV... so plugin hybrid... supposedly 30 miles of range are rumored.


Renderings of Prius we had here before had 2 versions, regular that is out now and PHEV... in fact, PHEV looked much better for everyone.

Blue is supposedly PHEV version, green is regular Prius that they got almost right (rear was exactly done).
