prius

A full hybrid mid-size car, the Prius is the latest from Toyota.

The Prius has been rated as the most fuel efficient and the cleanest car among those sold in the US. The 2010 version is regarded as the best with redesigned interiors, more power, better fuel efficiency, greater space efficiency and a sleeker style.

The latest version has the solar package including a solar panel to keep the car interiors cool even when parked and the electric air conditioner that can be remotely activated even before entering the car.

The special features include a pre-collision system, automatic lane keeping and intelligent parking and a host of other hi-tech luxury features that are synonymous with the brand name, Toyota.
