2025 Toyota Prius in Hernando, MS - $0

This is a hatchback that looks like a sedan at first glance. The fourth-generation Toyota Prius enters its second year as it also celebrates the 20th anniversary of its debut in Japan. The Toyota Prius delivers mid-size room in a compact package, with a design that, while bolder than before, conveys an identity that’s instantly recognizable the world over. Offered in six trim levels, the Prius caters to a wide variety of tastes and needs. The premium interior is distinguished by a wrap-around dash design, form-hugging seats, easy-to-use controls and enhanced visibility. The Prius is also the most connected and entertaining, with three Entune™ Multi-media systems available.

Power is generated by an Atkinson cycle 2ZR-FXE 1.8L four-cylinder gasoline engine, 600 volt electric Motor Generator and an Lithium-ion battery pack. Torque is communicated to the pavement through an electronically controlled continuously variable automatic transmission.
All Prius models are built around Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA) and feature double-wishbone independent rear suspension. The trailing-arm design allows increased luggage space with the rear seatbacks in use.

The strength of the TNGA platform greatly contributes to the high level of handling responsiveness, steering feel and ride quality. Hot-stamped and high tensile steels, which allow for intricate forms that are both lightweight and strong, are used extensively throughout the body. Aluminum components, including the hood and brake calipers, help keep vehicle weight in check. Innovative fastening methods, including laser screw welding and advanced adhesives, contribute to structural strength. Additional weight savings come from a Toyota-made lightweight carbon-fiber rear hatch, which also makes opening and closing almost effortless.

Inside the passenger cabin looks and feels far from frugal. Its four-seat cabin layout, with center console in both front and back, feels far more premium. The rear-seat console offers generous storage capacity. Practicality is a strong suit, with standard 60/40 folding rear seatbacks unaffected by the larger battery.

The centrally mounted gauge panel, a Prius hallmark since the model’s inception, appears to float above the dashboard. The panel features dual 4.2-inch full-color multi-information displays, and the driver can change their content by using steering wheel controls. Customizable screens include Energy Monitor, Hybrid System and Climate Control Indicator, along with a suite of “Eco” features: Eco Score, Eco Savings Record, Drive Monitor, and Eco Diary. Other screens provide displays for driver support systems, audio system content, and navigation system content.
