Toyota Prius C:
The baby of the
Prius family still has some growing up to do, but its low price of
admission and high-tech amenities make the Prius C an excellent value
and fun to drive, even when the fun comes from a screen rather than the
gas pedal. Like it or not, the Prius family is growing. In addition to
the popular and successful standard Prius, now referred to as the Prius
liftback, Toyota has introduced the larger, family-orientated Prius V;
the ultimate high-mileage king; the Prius Plug-in; and earlier this year
introduced the babyback Prius itself: the Prius C.
Toyota Prius C Features And Specifications:
Powering the Prius C is a downsized version of Toyota’s Hybrid
Synergy Drive system: a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric
motor paired with a CVT. The gas engine produces 73 hp and the electric
motor 60; total system output is 99 hp. For reference, the bigger Prius
and Prius V both use a 98-hp, 1.8-liter four and an 80-hp electric
motor, with total output of 134 hp. Energy storage is handled by
nickel-metal hydride battery pack. Electric-only range is less than a
mile at speeds up to 25 mph. There’s also an Eco mode that controls
throttle response and climate-control functionality to maximize
efficiency. Finally, there’s a Normal mode that’s, well, normal. Toyota
claims the C will get a city rating of 53 mpg—beating any non-plug-in
hybrid currently available—and a 46-mpg figure on the highway. The city
number is 2 mpg higher than that of the standard Prius, though the
highway efficiency is 2 mpg lower; both cars share a 50-mpg combined
rating.
