2010 Toyota Prius - Better Still
The bar has been set with the new Toyota Prius. The amazing Fuel Economy is what has the largest appeal to many people. The 2010 Toyota Prius comes equipped with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine, which is up from the past 1.5L. Contrary to what is the norm, the larger engine actually improves gas mileage due to the increase in torque.The 2010 Prius has gained some more muscle in the form of 50 extra horsepower.
The 2010 Toyota Prius should get right about 50 MPG; which is up 4 MPG from its predecessor.Frugal driving can net over 75 MPG!The improvement in fuel economy also comes from the lightened body and powertrain. Engine noise is toned down thanks to a stiffer chassis.
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. A remote air conditioner, LED headlights, rearview camera system, and XM radio are all new accessories available on the new Prius.
The battery recharging system has also been upgraded. The new Prius is at the top of the compact car class in regards to safety. Some features include, seven airbags, as well as a driver knee bag, anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control, tire pressure monitors, radar cruise control, a lane-departure warning system, a rearview camera, a “Safety Connect” system, and Intelligent Parking Assist.
