Professional Reviews

• “The new Prius' skin turns in a coefficient of drag of 0.26, about the lowest ever for a production car.” — AutoWeek
• “All that adds up to 60 mpg city, 50 highway, not to mention Super Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle and Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle classifications.” — AutoWeek
• “A dashboard monitor allows you to see which engine is doing the work, and how much energy is being used at any given time, among other things.” — Edmunds.com
• “It's roomy, with back seats that seat two adults and lots of cargo space. The fabric upholstery is as good as it gets.” — New Car Test Drive
• “The all-new Prius is a legitimate family sedan that offers everything you would expect -- like solid build quality and refinement -- and a few things you don't -- like a base price of just $20,000.” — Edmunds.com
• “Cargo space is 16.1 cubic feet, more than one-third larger than the 2003's 11.8 cubic feet and half again the Civic's 10.1 cubic feet and coming perilously close to the Camry's 16.7 cubic feet.” — New Car Test Drive
• “Lighter, lower-friction pistons, a revised combustion-chamber design, and remapped variable valve timing help increase engine power by six ponies, to 76.” — Car and Driver
