2014 toyota Prius Two
Car Summary
The Toyota Prius is the globe's very successful crossbreed. The four-door midsize hatchback is offered as regular hybrid as well as plug-in versions. Routine variations come in 2, Three, 4 and Five qualities while the Plug-in is offered in base or Advanced trims. There are likewise two other versions of the Prius lineup: the bigger Prius V wagon for households and also the subcompact Prius C hatchback, which is a city auto.
Review
With its ultra-efficient powertrain, the Toyota Prius is one of one of the most fuel-efficient vehicles sold in the U.S. Making use of a 1.8-liter hybrid I-4 creating a combined result of 134 hp and combined to a constant variable transmission (CVT). Regular crossbreed designs achieve impressive 51/48 mpg city/highway from the EPA. While Plug-in models are rated at the exact same 51/48 mpg as the non-plug-in, to the PHEV could cruise for 11 miles on EV power alone and get to 62 mph on battery power alone. Fee time for the Prius Plug-in is 3 hours using a 110-volt outlet as well as 100 mins at 240 volts.
While an appealing drive and handling are not its strengths, Toyota uses the Prius PLUS Bundle on the non-PHEV to improve the automobile's driving characteristics with larger wheels and also suspension upgrades. Nonetheless, the Prius isn't really as comfy as the Camry or Avalon crossbreeds and does not drive as well as several of its rivals.
Inside the 2014 Prius, the lack of improvement appears due to Toyota's sacrifices for still-impressive fuel economic situation. Low-grade indoor products, a loud cabin, and also an unintuitive center stack controls contribute to a feeling of low-grade develop top quality.
All 2014 Toyota Prius models with the exception of the Plug-in design, which hasn't already been tested, have a four-star security ranking from the NHTSA (from a possible five stars). The IIHS also awarded it with a Top Safety and security Select+ award, racking up excellent throughout four examinations with the exception of the tiny overlap front classification, where it scored acceptable (good is the greatest possible score).
What We Assume
The Prius stays among the criteria of ultra-efficient hybrid lorries with its remarkable fuel economy and also worth. In a 2013 Large Examination evaluation comparing diesel and hybrid automobiles, we applauded the Prius for its low costs of possession. Additionally, in a 2013 Contrast Examination with the Chevrolet Volt, we kept in mind that Toyota has assumed the Prius Plug-in "through and through," deliberately designing it with fuel performance in mind. Nonetheless, in a 2013 First Examination of a Prius Four, we kept in mind that the noisy cabin, level seats, and rough ride with the PLUS package suspension upgrades made the car disconcerting and awkward to drive.
