As with many cars of Toyota, the Prius has become a standard bearer in its segment. While many manufacturers have yet to develop a gasoline-electric hybrid vehicle, Toyota is already in its third generation Prius. This four-door hybrid has become a hit with consumers because of its stellar fuel economy, relatively inflexible driving characteristics and acceleration and reasonable price.
Toyota Prius (its name comes from Latin and means "go before"), a partial solution to the problem of automobile exhaust emissions. Prius, like other hybrid vehicles, has a special engine that combines the internal combustion engine with a gasoline engine. This engine, along with other advanced features, allows the Prius to produce higher consumption and lower emissions than normal cars.

Because of its popularity and relatively long sales history, unique hybrid car from Toyota is a strong candidate for a buyer is interested in a hybrid car. So far, it seems Toyota's reputation for reliability and durability with all laws for the Prius. The initial concerns about the long-term sustainability has proven to be largely unfounded. However, potential buyers of a used Prius take extra precautions during the research process. Such as the Toyota Prius is quite complex, future repairs and part replacement can be very expensive.

The Toyota Prius has been completely redesigned for 2010. However, it remains a four-door sedan with seating for five people. hybrid propulsion system consisting of a gasoline engine 1.8-liter that produces 98 horsepower and 105 lb-ft of torque, which is used in combination with two electric motors and a special planetary gear, which operates as a continuous transmission Variable (CVT). The total system power is 134 horsepower.

Under full acceleration, both power sources work together to provide maximum punch. However, under a light load, such as stop-and-go traffic, the Prius alternates between the two, often running on battery power alone. It maximizes the potential for automobile fuel economy. A regenerative braking system converts energy normally lost as heat into electricity to recharge the battery away. The powertrain is now a little more robust than the car on the way to the previous generation, even if it is not really as fast away from a traffic light format. It is cheaper, but with a combined fuel economy EPA estimated 50 mpg - which is the maximum in the hybrid game.
