Toyota has rebadged the Prius V as a Daihatsu Mebius for the Japanese domestic market (JDM).
After Toyota transformed the Camry Hybrid into the Daihatsu Altis, they are doing the same thing again with the Prius V which will be sold as a Daihatsu Mebius. The cars are identical both inside and out, with the exception the Mebius is offered exclusively as a five-seater while the Prius V can be ordered also with a seven-seat arrangement.
