The Toyota Prius has long set the standard for hybrid/electric vehicles in the U.S. The tradition continues in 2017, with the latest version of the Prius being named Electric/Hybrid Best Buy of 2017 in Kelley Blue Book’s annual awards.1
If you’re a car owner, then you should be familiar with Kelley Blue Book and its reputation for accurate price reporting on vehicles as well as consumer advocacy. By far the most trusted independent source on the value of new and used vehicles, the name “Blue Book” itself has become a term for the true value of a car or truck.
For this year’s Best Buy awards, Kelley Blue Book evaluated over 300 new-car models. They then narrowed this wide selection down to the 12 best by category. Out of the many options available, the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime stood out as the best Hybrid/Electric vehicle of the year.
Kelley Blue Book cited multiple factors for choosing the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime as the best of its category, including: • Ease of use and consumer friendliness • Incredible gas mileage on roads and highways
• Superior handling and suspension • Amazing value
Along with noting that the 2017 Prius Prime’s electric charge is the perfect amount to cover most Americans’ commute times, Kelley Blue Book also made sure to point out the vehicle’s fast recharge times. With just 5.5 hours of charge time, the Prius Prime is ready to go again!
Kelley Blue Book also went on to describe the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime as “surprisingly rewarding behind the wheel,” thanks to its superior suspension, low-effort steering calibration, and numerous weight reduction measures taken to fine-tune the vehicle’s performance.2
Another winning element of the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is its unbeatable price. With a standard MSRP of $27,100, the Prius Prime also comes with up to $4,500 in federal tax credits and an additional $1,500 in some states.3 For a vehicle as reliable as this one, such a low price is an absolute steal.
Of course, the best way to see what a great value the 2017 Toyota Prius Prime is would be to experience it for yourself. Stop by your local Toyota dealership and ask to drive the allnew Toyota Prius Prime ASAP – you won’t be disappointed.
