The Toyota Prius c is one of the newest additions to the Prius family, expanding a lineup of gas-electric hybrid vehicles that has set the standard for environmentally-friendly transportation. This subcompact front-wheel drive, five-door hatchback delivers comfort, excellent fuel economy and low emissions in an urban-friendly size.
The Prius c is available in four trim levels: Prius c One, Prius c Two, Prius c Three and Prius c Four. All trim levels employ Toyota's Hybrid Synergy Drive, a hybrid powertrain technology that unites a 1.5-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder gasoline engine with a powerful electric drive motor to generate 99 combined horsepower. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) with three selectable drive modes is standard. Standard equipment on the Prius c includes 15-inch wheels, automatic climate control, Bluetooth wireless phone connectivity and music streaming, USB port, keyless entry and power exterior mirrors, windows and door locks. Standard safety technologies include anti-lock brakes with brake assist and vehicle stability/traction control systems, as well as nine airbags. Hybrid-related components are backed by an 8 year/100,000 mile warranty.
All-new last year, the Toyota Prius c carries over unchanged for 2013.
