How do you fight inflation? Well this can be your new weapon. I'm sure your very familiar with the Prius if you are looking at this so i'll just keep to the basics. Vehicle is a one owner, a trade on another hybrid of course, and no picks except for a few minor scratches we fixed. The pictures actually have the scratches but don't fear when you take delivery you will not be able to tell they were ever there. Happy Buying.
The Toyota Prius ['pri.?s] is a hybrid electric mid-size car developed and manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation.
The Prius first went on sale in Japan in 1997, making it the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. It was subsequently introduced worldwide in 2001. The Prius is sold in more than 40 countries and regions, with its largest markets being those of Japan and North America.
The Prius was completely redesigned into a mid-size liftback which is between the Corolla and the Camry in size in 2004. The new model is 6 inches (150 mm) longer than the previous version. Its more aerodynamic body resulted in a drag coefficient of 0.26.
The new Hybrid Synergy Drive (HSD) uses an all-electric compressor for cooling. Combined with a smaller and lighter NiMH battery, the NHW20 is more powerful and more efficient than the NHW11. Air conditioning is now operated independently of the gasoline engine, an industry first.[18] In the U.S., the battery pack of the 2004 Prius is warranted for 100,000 miles (160,000 km) or 8 years, although Toyota has stated that they expect it to last 15 years.
Among the Prius' options are Toyota's implementation of an advanced key called Smart Key System or SKS (the feature can be user-deactivated), DVD navigation on the MFD, vehicle stability control and Bluetooth for hands-free calling.
