Toyota Prius 2005
Hybrid Harmony Drive
" system provides extraordinary gas economic situation and ultra-low exhausts. An onboard electric motor works individually or in tandem, as conditions warrant, with a 1.5-liter gas engine that features a digital "drive by cord" throttle to optimize power while it decreases gas intake. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard and is operated via a tiny joystick mounted on the control panel. A huge digital display reveals where resource or sources the lorry is currently drawing power; while it's intriguing, particularly to amateur passengers, it can get sidetracking to the chauffeur. Anti-lock brakes, power home windows, locks and mirrors, and also an electrically run air conditioning system come conventional, with a keyless entrance and startup function among the Prius's optional attributes.
Having actually been completely revamped for 2004, the Toyota Prius stays virtually unchanged for 2005, save for a cost increase of $540 as well as the accessibility of a voice-activated, DVD-based navigation system and also Bluetooth connection.
The gasoline-electric crossbreed Prius can be found in a solitary, well-equipped design line, which includes a continuously-variable transmission, CD player with 6 audio speakers, air conditioning, 60/40 folding rear seat, power locks, windows and mirrors, cruise control, 15-inch alloy wheels, variable recurring wiper, recurring back washer/wiper, and tilt wheel.
Two option bundles are offered, that include a "smart key" with distance sensor, six-disc CD with nine speakers, automatic garage door opener, haze lamps and also auto-dimming rearview mirror.
The Prius is a full hybrid as well as can run only on its batteries under certain conditions. It does not need reenergizing. It gets its optimal possibility in urban driving, turning off its gas engine when stopped at a light. Price-wise, it slips in between the Honda Civic Crossbreed and the new-for-2005 Honda Accord Hybrid, both of which appearance and also act more like conventional gasoline vehicles but which could not run on electrical energy alone.
The Prius' extremely odd styling twists around a comfortable and also roomy interior, although the dash is weird also, as well as its gearshift and parking button are extra unpleasant compared to need be. The horse power numbers look small on paper, yet with the electric motor helping it, velocity feels up to the criterion of many equivalent gasoline-powered automobiles; the electrical motor enhances torque from 82 lb-ft to 295. The variable power-assist steering really feels numb as well as the car adheres to every roadway blemish, especially when it encounters freeway ruts. It'll take a long period of time for its fuel financial savings to reach its sticker, but when you're speaking about an automobile that Hollywood stars are falling over themselves to possess, probably you can not put a price on cool.
The Prius is integrated in Toyota City, Japan.
