2021 Toyota Prius Review
The Toyota Prius is one of the most well-known hybrid vehicles in the nation, and for good reason. Not only did it help pave the way to make “going hybrid” a norm, but it also set the standards high for these types of models. This allows drivers near Harrisburg, Mechanicsburg, and Carlisle, Pennsylvania, to drive greener and skip extra visits to the gas station.
In this 2021 Toyota Prius review, the team at Faulkner Toyota Harrisburg is excited to tell you all about what this hybrid vehicle has in store for you. From its fuel-sipping performance to a suite of interior amenities, we think you’re going to fall in love with the Prius all over again.
2021 Prius Performance & MPG
The Prius is the epitome of efficiency, and it’s thanks to some expert engineering under its hood. Pop it open, and you’ll find the 1.8L 4-cylinder engine paired to a Permanent magnet AC synchronous motor and a Lithium-ion battery.
These work in concert, creating a harmony of excellent fuel economy and power delivery that’s great for everyday city driving. In fact, on the standard trim level, you can expect a fuel economy of an EPA-estimated 58 city/53 highway MPG.* Add that onto a hybrid system net 121 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque, and you’re ready to stay on the streets for longer.
That’s not where the Prius ends its impressiveness under the hood, either. With available AWD-e, tough road conditions are a thing of the past. This system gives you four-wheel traction up to 43 MPH, making the 2021 Prius a great all-weather model.
