The Prius is the beginning of a new wave of cars. This car is great in all aspects, specifically for people that environmentally conscious. The Prius will save you money and you don't have to charge up this electric/gas aoutomobile.


The Prius is a simple car yet it can benefit all commuters. The Prius is a THS</>, so it's a hybrid car or basically it runs on gas and electricity. You as the driver has no control over how or when the electricity runs the car or when the gas runs the car. The Prius transmission is based on CVT or electronically controlledcontinuously variable transmission.


All models are four door models, they all have the same 1.5liter , 4cylinder engine, with 70 horse power. The maximum speed you can go with the Prius is 105, so this isn't for people who want power , this car is great for people who have to travel , or commute to work. The emmissions ratings on the Prius is Super Ultra Low Emmissions Vehicle.



How the Hybrid system works is complex yet simple. You can't control it on your own, but when the car is still the engine shuts
off reducing emmissions drastically. When you are driving in the city the engine is running mainly on electricity, and when you go on the freeway the internal transmission shifts so the gas will be used. There is no need to recharge the current in the car because it does it itself whenever you slow down, the current from the tires recharges the transmission , and it recharges the battery.


Pretty simple huh? Well when I can afford $20,050 for this hew Hybrid I might be purchasing.
