Crossbreed Harmony Drive

" system provides phenomenal gas economy as well as ultra-low exhausts. An onboard electric motor functions separately or in tandem, as problems warrant, with a 1.5-liter gas engine that has a digital "drive by cord" throttle to take full advantage of power while it lessens fuel intake. A continuously variable automatic transmission is basic and also is operated using a tiny joystick installed on the dashboard. A huge electronic screen reveals from which resource or sources the vehicle is currently attracting power; while it's interesting, specifically to newbie travelers, it can obtain sidetracking to the chauffeur. Anti-lock brakes, power windows, locks as well as mirrors, and an electrically run a/c system come typical, with a keyless entry and startup attribute among the Prius's optional attributes.

Having actually been totally revamped for 2004, the Toyota Prius stays practically unmodified for 2005, save for a cost boost of $540 as well as the schedule of a voice-activated, DVD-based navigating system and Bluetooth connection.

The Prius' decidedly unusual designing twists around a comfy as well as spacious interior, although the dash is strange too, and also its gearshift and parking button are more uncomfortable than need be. The horse power numbers look tiny theoretically, but with the electric motor aiding it, acceleration feels up to the standard of the majority of comparable gasoline-powered vehicles; the electric motor enhances torque from 82 lb-ft to 295. The variable power-assist steering really feels numb as well as the cars and truck follows every road blemish, particularly when it comes across freeway ruts. It'll take a long time for its fuel cost savings to catch up to its sticker label, yet when you're discussing a cars and truck that Hollywood stars are tipping over themselves to possess, probably you can not put a price on cool.

The Prius is integrated in Toyota City, Japan.
