Hybridization strides on the haze world. Perhaps in the future as in fantasy movie "I, Robot", people will look on with horror internal combustion engines. But until the first Gazettes are just beginning a new era accepting a different system, decrease fuel consumption and improve the quality of exhaust. Systems of stop-and-go, multi catalysts, impoverishment and the mixture is already applied at BMW, and Citroen, and many other brands. But even among these advanced cars Toyota Prius Hybrid is a mansion. It was this car originally designed as a hybrid rather than an original conversion petrol. And it was the first in 1997 in the now rapidly growing segment of cars with a combined power plant. And so far Toyota Prius remains the most environmentally friendly car in the world.
It's difficult to understand from afar attributed to a class of car. Whether a small minivan, whether large hatchback. If you look at the Prius in strict profile, drew attention to the unusual shape of roof and smooth body. And it is not surprising. The car, at the heart of which is economical, there simply is obliged to have aerodynamics, close to the ideal. They say, when designing the Japanese Prius catch large fish. And it became a prototype Prius. Large front headlights, swimming on the hood, rear crystal optics, broken rear window, execution of which ideologically close to the Citroen C4, even after three years on the conveyor look enough not trivial, that once again refuted the allegation all cars with good Cx similar to each other.
Come to the car, extend a hand to the door, and discovered locks Prius clicks. Built sensor sensed the approaching man, sent the request that it has a key non-contact, and received a positive response, obligingly released locks. That is how the system works keyless-go. To close the car just does not need to get the keys, it's enough to touch the buttons on the door.
At the very beginning we thought that the car saloon formally belongs to the C class will not hit space. But minivan architecture of the body played a role. Rear seats are not simply enough. It's many. While one drawback we have been able to find. If passenger growth above 190 cm, his top impinges on the ceiling is for the sake of aerodynamics engineers unnecessarily rubble rear rack. Since 2006, eliminated this problem by changing the form of rear sofa cushions. Access to the trunk convenient, but the space itself could be and more. The point is that it is behind the rear seats next, under the floor to hide battery that provides life of the system <..>
