The world’s first hybrid car – the Toyota Prius – is now in its third generation and is far and away the best yet. The distinctive aerodynamic shape has been further refined to give it a sportier edge, while the 1.8-litre petrol/electric hybrid engine delivers exceptional figures of 74.2mpg and CO2 emissions of just 89g/km.
The interior is both light and airy and constructed with high-quality materials. The instrument panel hosts information on how the car is performing and the relationship between the two engines, and a heads-up display helps you concentrate on the road. In terms of entertainment, the six-speaker audio system has both a radio and CD player with audio jacks. Higher-specification models are supplemented by eight speakers and Bluetooth connectivity.
The Toyota Prius is fully safety aware, with a number of measures ensuring you reach your destination safely. For example, the seven-airbag system includes one to protect the driver’s legs, while the active headrests help minimise whiplash injuries. Anti-lock brakes, meanwhile, distribute braking to where it is needed most, while the traction and stability control help the car grip the road.
