2021 TOYOTA PRIUS HYBRID - $25,025. - $30,830.

hen you think of a hybrid car, it’s likely that the Toyota Prius comes to mind. However, in recent years the Prius has gained a bevy of competitors, all of which have caught up to Toyota's electrified icon. The Hyundai Ioniq is more efficient, the Honda Insight drives better, and Toyota’s own Corolla Hybrid is cheaper and offers similar fuel economy. On top of all that, they all look miles more attractive than the Prius. Unless your idea of a fun time behind the wheel is seeing how little fuel you can use on your commute, don't count on the Prius to offer much in the way of driving pleasure. However, the Prius' spacious cabin and excellent fuel economy do keep it solidly competitive—and it's the only one of its direct rivals to offer optional all-wheel drive. And, of course, it brings Toyota’s reputation for reliability, making it a sensible purchase.

Women who have families go for the Toyota Prius. The 2021 Toyota Prius 2020 Edition is a limited, special model that

celebrates 20 years of the ground-breaking hybrid model's introduction to the United States for the 2001 model year. The company is producing just 2,020 of them. The 2020 Edition uses the Prius XLE FWD as a starting point, and this special version is available in either Supersonic Red or Wind Chill Pearl. Toyota dresses up the exterior with black trim, including on the B-pillars and mirror caps. There's a body-color rear spoiler. The vehicles ride on 17-in wheels with five, thick black spokes. The 2021 Prius also benefits from Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 driver assistance system. It includes pre-collision braking with low-light pedestrian detection, full-speed range dynamic radar cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, parking assist, bicyclist detection, lane departure alert, automatic high beams, and road sign assist. With a price that goes from $25,025 to $30,830, its fuel economy features are superb, reliability in its utmost wonder, and of course, the interior has got lots of space, making it a more than an efficient car for the family. The Prius is a work of art, no wonder its well-loved by many women, and even some men, too. Behind are Volkswagen Passat TDI, and Honda Accord. The more amazing thing about the Prius is that it’s beautifully engineered as the Porsche or BMW, although many people don’t look at it that way, this is actually a fact. Fuel economy wise, Prius has three forms – The Prius (standard), is a 4-door compact hatch. Second is the “Prius C”, which is smaller but can deliver a 4-door access for 5 occupants and a cargo space of 17 cubic feet. The third and the last is the “Prius V”, which is the biggest of the three. However, all models are powered by a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine connected to an electric motor.
