The 2010 Toyota Prius and 60 MPG

The 2010 Toyota Prius is…new. I was personally never won over by the look of the second generation Prius and it will take some time to get used to the look of the newest one. However, it isn’t the outside of the car that has people talking. It’s the fact the car can get 60 miles per gallon in the city and has a larger engine than previous models.

The third-generation Toyota Prius is an excellent case in point. It’s a tad longer (0.6-in. overall) than the car it replaces. Its dohc 16-valve engine is larger (1.8 liters versus the previous 1.5). Its gasoline-electric hybrid combination is more powerful (a blended 134 bhp versus the second generation’s 110). The car is even a skosh heavier (by perhaps 110 lb.). Yet its EPA fuel economy jumps to 51 mpg highway/48 mpg city/50 mpg combined versus the previous generation’s 48 city/45 highway/47 combined
