There are additionally two other variations of the Prius schedule: the larger Prius V wagon for families as well as the subcompact Prius C hatchback, which is a city cars and truck.
Overview
With its ultra-efficient powertrain, the Toyota Prius is among the most fuel-efficient vehicles sold in the United States Using a 1.8-liter crossbreed I-4 creating a consolidated output of 134 hp and also combined to a continual variable transmission (CVT). Regular crossbreed designs accomplish outstanding 51/48 mpg city/highway from the EPA.

While an appealing drive and also handling are not its toughness, Toyota supplies the Prius PLUS Package on the non-PHEV to improve the vehicle's driving dynamics with bigger wheels and suspension upgrades. However, the Prius isn't really as comfy as the Camry or Avalon hybrids and does not drive as well as several of its competitors.
Inside the 2014 Prius, the absence of refinement appears because of Toyota's sacrifices for still-impressive fuel economic climate. Low-quality indoor products, a noisy cabin, and also an unintuitive facility stack controls add to a feeling of subpar develop quality.

What We Believe
The Prius continues to be among the standards of ultra-efficient hybrid lorries with its phenomenal fuel economy as well as worth. In a 2013 Big Examination review contrasting diesel and hybrid cars, we applauded the Prius for its affordable of ownership. Furthermore, in a 2013 Comparison Test with the Chevrolet Volt, we kept in mind that Toyota has actually assumed the Prius Plug-in "inside out," intentionally creating it with gas performance in mind. However, in a 2013 First Test of a Prius 4, we noted that the noisy cabin, level seats, as well as harsh flight with the PLUS bundle suspension upgrades made the cars and truck rough as well as awkward to drive.
