Cutting-edge. Proven safety. Undeniably eco-sensitive. The Toyota Prius is all of these things. The leader of the family, Toyotas iconic hybrid has demonstrated that there can be harmony between nature and machine. Prius has also shown that there can be consensus among many different types of drivers. Those who demand fuel efficiency, and those who like a little more power. Those intrigued by highly advanced technology, and those who insist on proven reliability. Those interested in reducing their carbon footprint, and those who are hesitant to sacrifice practicality in order to do it. With all that Prius has to offer, it may well be a vehicle everyone can love. The iconic silhouette of Prius represents more than simply a sleek profile. We invested countless hours in aerodynamic testing to achieve a slick 0.25 drag coefficient. Of course, this wind-slipping shape helps Prius deliver an EPA-estimated 50 combined mpg, but perhaps even more remarkable is how the streamlined shape still allows for a roomy and comfortable interior. If you are under the impression that driving a hybrid vehicle is somehow less gratifying than driving a traditional vehicle, think again. Hybrid Synergy Drive seamlessly integrates an electric motor and a gasoline engine to offer not only high mileage and low emissions, but also a smooth and remarkably quiet driving experience.
