A Review of the New Prius

The world of hybrid cars has a new king in the 2010 Toyota Prius. Great gas mileage is what has sold over 1 million Prius Hybrids.The Prius gets a 1.the displacement is up 0.3 liters.5L.  Contrary to what is the norm, the larger engine actually improves gas mileage due to the increase in torque.160-hp is what the new Prius is packing. 

The 2010 Toyota Prius should get right about 50 MPG; which is up 4 MPG from its predecessor.The EPA rates the Prius at 50 MPG, but there are many who get more than that!Fuel Economy is improved by a redesigned powerplant and the lighter body weight. A more rigid body keeps engine noise down.

In redesigning the Prius, engineers have successfully improved the steering by angling the wheels slightly and creating brake discs at all four corners. The new Prius comes stock with some great features such as: air, CD, and power everything. It also comes with many new features including, a Touch Tracer system that mimics your finger-swipes over steering-wheel controls over the gauges, power windows, cruise control, AM/FM/XM/CD player, a sunroof with solar panels, a remote air conditioner, a navigation system, LED headlamps, Bluetooth, and a backup camera.

Electricity is taken from the brakes, and used to charge the batteries. The 2010 Toyota Prius has earned top billing in terms of safety. Many options avaialble are the air bag for the driver knee, a safety connect system similar to on-star, and traction control.

See the new Prius and a nice inventory of other hybrids at San Jose Toyota.  The Prius has been named top green car for the past few years.  And why shouldn’t it.  The Prius gets great gas mileage which saves gas, in turn putting less strain on the environment.  Not to mention is is a low emissions vehicle.  The PRius is an honored car that does a great job of keeping its resale value.  So if you cannot afford to buy a brand new 2010 Prius, go ahead and look for a nice used model.  You will pay less, get a capable car, and even get a used car warranty if you buy a certified Toyota hybrid.
