Popular New Larger Toyota Prius V Lands at Germain Columbus

Columbus, Ohio (I-Newswire) February 1, 2012 - When Toyota’s Prius debuted years ago there were many who believed the hybrid to be a fad that would come and go. Now with many generations of the Prius being created to serve all walks of life, it would seem that those naysayers have been essentially silenced. Germain Toyota of Columbus has recently received the ultra popular Prius v which takes all the fun of the original and makes everything bigger.

The Prius V gets a stellar 44 miles per gallon city and 40 miles per gallon highway. Both of these ratings are simply astounding considering that the car is the size of a small minivan. Although slightly down from the smaller original sized Prius, the v will still outclasses other vehicles like Ford’s Escape Hybrid (32 mpg) proving that Toyota rules the hybrid market.

Toyota hopes that their new differentiation of an old classic will help consumers who are cross-shopping hybrids choose the Prius family. Bloomberg News has recently found that the US is offering a growing number of vehicles that meet the clean air rules of California (which includes the Prius v).

Performance wise the Prius v is no sports car but the electric motor combined with a gasoline engine can put out 153 lb-ft of torque making the hatchback quick off the line. With the three driving modes on the Prius v, drivers can choose whether they want either normal, power, or eco to match varying situations on the road. With the “v” of Prius v standing for versatility, drivers will get a multi-purpose vehicle that is practical enough for the morning commute and still flexible enough for soccer practice after
work.

Germain Toyota of Columbus is proud to welcome the Prius v to our family of vehicles. Please visit www.germaintoyota.net to see what sets up apart from other Columbus Toyota dealerships.
