The all-new 2010 Toyota Prius sets new standards for innovative hybrid design and technology, raising its level of convenience features and performance to new heights, including a combined EPA estimated fuel efficiency rating of 50 miles per gallon.
A larger and more powerful 1.8-liter Atkinson-cycle, four-cylinder engine produces 98 horsepower in the new Prius. Together with its electric motor the hybrid system in the 2010 Prius generates a combined net horsepower of 134, an improvement of 24 horsepower over the previous generation.
In designing the new Prius, aerodynamic performance was an important factor. Designers preserved the dynamic triangle form of the Prius, but made alterations to the overall profile, pillar position and angle. The front pillar, extended forward, helps refine the performance-focusing, shaped form.
The 2010 Prius offers a remote air-conditioning system that functions on battery-power alone and allows remote operation so the driver can adjust the interior temperature for comfort before getting in the car.
Prius comes in one grade with four different standard equipment packages named II, III, IV and V, each with varying levels of exterior and interior features.
