The Toyota Prius - Hybrid Car

Executive Summary about Used Toyota Prius by Joseph Then

In 1994 the executive vice president of Toyota put forth a challenge to the company’s engineers to create a hybrid vehicle that would double the fuel efficiency of the average, conventional car. With safety in mind, the Prius features a stability control system, causing it to rate high on safety crash tests. Besides the standard features, the Prius also offers the latest technological bells and whistles that car buyers look for today. The Toyota Prius offers a rather smooth, and incredibly quiet ride. The Prius boasts an estimated EPA combined city/highway fuel economy rating of about 52 miles per city gallon, 45 mpg on the highway, and 89 percent fewer emissions that produce smog than the average new, conventional vehicle. Of course as with any type of vehicle, the driver’s driving habits, road conditions, and the type of roads that the car is driven on may all affect a car’s fuel economy rating.

In layman’s terms, the car is certified has having near zero emissions and zero evaporative emissions. Using a 1.5 liter engine, an electric motor, and something called the power split device, the Prius creates a limited amount of emissions by utilizing electrical power in conjunction with the gasoline-powered engine. With a price tag generally in the mid-twenty thousand dollar range, the Toyota Prius may be a few thousand dollars more than comparable non-hybrid cars.
