Toyota Prius Mk. III (ZVW30)

In the automotive business, there are angels and demons. The angels mentioned is the fuel saving machines and hybrid cars while the demons were the gas-guzzlers (for example, heavy SUVs, and those that emit black smoke). From Toyota, the number one automobile manufacturer in the world, comes the new look of the world's legendary mass-produced hybrid car that became the worldwide phenomena for everyone. A hybrid car claims all reviewers' praise and the numerous customers who are environmentally conscious. A hybrid car that has finally claimed the new title: "Super Hybrid Car,” welcome the all-new, fuel efficient, third generation Toyota Prius!





The long wait is over. The world's first mass produced hybrid car that started the hybrid craze is now on its peak of becoming the legendary hybrid car of today. Just how "super like Superman" is the new Toyota Prius? For starters, the exterior of the all-new Prius is somewhat of a face-lift but the look is quite new to the public thanks to its Air Management aerodynamic design that brings hybrid fanatics a new reason to start another hybrid revolution. Now that the details of the Prius’ exterior told, brace yourselves for the mind that matters all hybrid cars!





The improved 1.8L 136PS hybrid engine powered with Toyota's remarkable Hybrid Synergy Drive is the brains that powered the whole hybrid machine. For the biggest amazement to all hybrid crusaders, the Prius' fuel economy has reached a record-breaking fuel economy of over 38.0km/L! No other hybrid cars can achieve this kind of fuel economy because of the hybrid system that makes the Toyota Prius a formidable hybrid car for the masses!





No super hybrid car can be super without the superb interior of the new Prius. Just take a roam all over the interior and you will observe some futuristic looks and that is not all, to find out how the Prius is doing, the Eco-Drive Monitor got this super hybrid car covered. The Eco-Drive Monitor displays the Hybrid System indicator, one-minute to five-minute fuel efficiency rates, fuel efficiency history (similar to the Honda Insight), and real time energy consumption. For sound quality, this hybrid machine is equipped with the Prius Super Live Sound System (identical to the Toyota Premium Sound system from the new Crown Majesta) to bring the best sound like no other.



HOW SUPER WAS IT?
As I watched the sneak preview of the new Prius in Japan, this hybrid car truly expresses the title "Super Hybrid Car”. It is not that whole Superman part; it was the outstanding fuel economy. Now, the whole world will experience the superb fuel economy at a very modest price compared to the Honda Insight. People get ready to hum the "Main Title March" because Toyota's legendary hybrid machine has finally gained its new form.

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?
