Maximum Intelligence
This is a car that knows what kind of performance is needed. When you are going slow, it can operate on the battery power that it has stored up. When you start to accelerate, the hybrid gas engine kicks into gear. While the electric motor kicks out 80 horsepower, the system generates 134 horsepower. The electric motor also generates its own torque to the tune of 153 lb-ft. To boost power, regenerative braking captures energy and reroutes it back to the battery. As you may have read, the Prius has the leading hybrid fuel economy. The regular Prius earns 51 mpg city and 48 mpg highway.
