Some options includes leather-trimmed seats and steering wheel. A choice of satellite radio providers is a stand-alone, dealer-installed option.
Powertrains and Performance
This drivetrain consists of a 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine and two electric motors one driving the front wheels, the other functioning solely as a generator to recharge the car’s battery pack. Power is routed through a specialized continuously variable automatic transmission. The gas engine produces 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque.
Power delivery is smooth and consistent from rest all the way to top speed. In performance testing, we clocked the Prius from 0 to 60 mph in 10.4 seconds. The EPA estimates the Prius will achieve 48 mpg city, 45 mpg highway and 46 mpg combined. Come to this Laconia Toyota Dealership, and feel how great the Prius hybrid drives today!

In government crash tests, Toyota’s hybrid car earned four stars out of five for driver and front-passenger protection in frontal impacts. In side-impact testing, it earned five stars for front-occupant protection and four stars for the rear.
Interior Design and Special Features
The overall look of the Prius is upscale. The dash is flat and wide, with a large touchscreen, digital gauges, stubby electronic shifter and plenty of steering-wheel buttons. The fit and finish are excellent and built with high quality materials. The Prius’ electronic gauges are crystal-clear, mounted high and located close to the driver’s line of sight, almost like a head-up display.
The Prius offers a spacious cabin and comfy seats. The backseat offers plenty of room for adults and rear-facing infant seats. The 14.4-cubic-foot hatchback trunk is also quite large and can accommodate several roller suitcases, golf clubs or a double stroller.
