According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, in 2007, the 2008 Prius is the most fuel efficient car sold in the U.S. The EPA and California Air Resources Board also rate the Prius as among the cleanest vehicles sold in the United States based on non-CO2 emissions.
The 2010 Toyota Prius is now the best selling Hybrid car in Japan. Toyota reclaimed the number one spot from the 2010 Honda Insight after releasing its third-generation Prius Hybrid. Toyota sold 10,915 hybrid vehicles in May.
The new car is a little bigger outside, more powerful, more fuel efficient, more luxurious, more refined. Toyota did all that for the last redo and delivered the then-new 2004 model at no increase in price. This time, no such price promise.
The first-generation Prius entered the market in 1997 as the world’s first mass-produced hybrid. The name Prius, “to go before” in Latin, became symbolic of a car that was launched even before environmental awareness had become a mainstream social issue.
From the beginning, Toyota’s full-hybrid system was developed in-house and has become a driving force behind advanced vehicle technology. The company’s exclusive Hybrid Synergy Drive System was introduced in 2004 on the second-generation Prius. Since then, more than 670,000 have been sold in the U.S.
In designing the new, third-generation Prius, Toyota engineers combined a careful refinement of existing systems with an aggressive measure of new technology necessary for the future of automobiles.
