The Toyota Prius V is the second model in the expanded Prius lineup. Toyota is preparing the media launch of the V later this month, with the wagon-like hybrid going on sale sometime this summer. (The first sales were scheduled for late summer, but could be delayed due to the effects of the March 11 earthquake in Japan.)

Last week, Toyota gave us our first look at the Prius V, which has 50 percent more cargo space than the current Prius, while delivering 42 miles per gallon in city driving and 38 mpg on the highway.

All the specs and details—as well as driving impressions—about the Prius V are coming soon. In the meantime, here are a few of our photos shot in the Bay Area that reveal if the V for Versatility lives up to its name.

The Prius V is expected to accelerate the widespread adoption of hybrids, and specifically the Prius brand. Toyota recently announced that there are now more than 1 million Prius owners in the United States. To commemorate that milestone, the company is issuing a limited number of custom molded adhesive vehicle badges and stickers to Prius owners.

The auto-generated badge artwork will reflect the CO2 emissions saved by each vehicle.
