The sharp and futuristic design of the little Toyota Prius hybrid helped it garner its own power share of the auto market quickly. It is a well-designed and well-made automobile that is easy to handle and it delivers a surprisingly comfortable ride. Currently the Toyota giant offers two hybrid vehicles, notably the Camry hybrid and the Prius. The Camry hybrid caters to families because it is a true four-door sedan and the Prius does better for 2 persons, although it does have a little rear room to seat passengers. Many adults feel that they are a bit cramped in the rear seat. The headroom is a bit spacious, but legroom could be roomier.
Fuel Economy/Engine
Toyota hybrids such as the Camry return impressive mileage ratings in overall tests. The Camry hybrid has a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that combines with an electric motor to create a maximum output of 142 horsepower and 138 foot pounds of torque. In addition, this hybrid electric vehicle is a clean fuel vehicle, which means that it produces very little pollution when operated.
The Camry hybrid had posted fuel mileage of 33 mpg in city traffic and 34 mpg on the highway. However, these numbers can vary a great deal depending on your driving style. Fuel mileage ratings are also dependent upon the type of model and options chosen. The Camry Hybrid, with a full tank of gas, has an expected range of 585 miles. These are superior numbers given the size of this automobile.
The Toyota Prius achieves an even more impressive and higher fuel rating. The Prius hybrid gets an unbelievable 48 mpg in the city and 45 mpg on the highway. These official numbers are a little bit conservative, because owners are claiming that they are receiving fuel economy figures in the fifties while driving in both the city and on the highway. The heart and soul of this vehicle is a 1.5 liter, four-cylinder engine with an electric motor that produces horsepower rated at 110. The Prius is not as powerful as the Camry hybrid, and is also lighter, smaller and has less cargo carry capacity.
Price/Availability
Both hybrid car models, the Camry and Prius , are currently available for purchase. However, this does not mean you will find one to buy. These are very popular items and very difficult to find anywhere. Most are already reserved before they come to a lot. A Toyota dealer may only have 2 or 3 available on their lots at any one time so you will not have a wide variety of cars to pick from . Most people do not really care too much about the color or interior, they are more interested in the motors and fuel economy .
The Camry hybrid car cost is twenty-six thousand dollars, however that price depends on the options and style. The more options you add on to the hybrid Camry the more it will cost. The fuel-efficient hybrid Prius, on the other hand, is considerably less expensive at the base price. This hybrid car cost is listed at twenty-two thousand dollars. Again, this price will be higher depending on which options you choose to add
Quality
The Toyota Camry hybrid is backed by Toyota’s reputation of top-notch quality in terms of materials and construction. The interior of the Camry hybrid is comparable to any of the other Camry models. Toyota uses sturdy and dependable components that hold up well over the life of the vehicle. Switches, slides, and levers are securely attached and operate smoothly at a touch. The seats in the Camry hybrid are very comfortable, especially during long road trips. The hybrid Prius enjoys the same quality and style in its construction. Unlike some of the earliest hybrid electric vehicles, you will find responsive handling, smooth turns and quiet driving in either of these Toyota hybrids.
