Cheap online car insurance for a Toyota Prius
 |
The Toyota Prius is one of the first of a new class of vehicle: the environmentally friendly car. It runs on a combined petrol and electric engine. When starting off and at low speeds it runs on electric power and switches seamlessly to the petrol engine for high speeds. If extra power is required, for example when accelerating up a hill, the electric engine will kick in for a boost. The Prius is a keyless car, meaning that there is no key to unlock it or start the ignition. Instead, simply carrying the remote in your pocket will do the necessary. It takes a bit of getting used to, but owners of the Toyota Prius agree that it is an excellent feature. |
It has a pleasant interior with user friendly touch screen air conditioning, stereo controls, and fuel consumption information. Voice activation is also available on the upper grades in the range. There is plenty of headroom and legroom in the Toyota Prius for both driver and passengers and it has a good sized boot.
It achieved a 5 star safety rating in NCAP tests. Some of the safety devices in the Prius include: Stability Control Plus, Electronic Traction Control, three braking assistance systems, crumple zones, and a generous amount of airbags.
The Toyota Prius is an excellent car for low emissions and has been recognised as such by the government. It is exempt from the London congestion charge, saving Prius-driving Londoners over £1000 a year. It nets a very good fuel economy rate of around 55 mpg, although this can vary up or down depending on the way in which you drive the car.
