Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius is a vehicle built by Toyota which has a hybrid powertrain, which combines an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Originally offered as a 4-door sedan, it has been produced only as a 5-door liftback since 2003.

Prius in Latin means "to go before". This means that Toyota wants this car to be ahead of its time to provide future solutions: environmental protection and fuel economy.

The Toyota Prius is the world's first mass-produced hybrid (gasoline-electric) vehicle. At the same time, it is also a popular car model because of its fuel economy and environmental friendliness.

Toyota Prius was first introduced in late 1997 with a compact, sophisticated design and became a successful hybrid car in the US.

Toyota sells the Prius in more than 90 markets, with Japan and the United States being the largest markets.

With over 50 miles per gallon of gas and genius for hybrid engineering, the Toyota Prius is one of the least expensive cars to maintain in the world due to its reliability.
