How will the Toyota Prius handle its upcoming trial period?

July 7, 2010 Featured No Comments

The Toyota Prius is a widely popular vehicle and Toyota will use that popularity to springboard the new plug in version of the Prius. Toyota will distribute a select amount of plug in Prius automobiles to organizations across the country to test the car before its mass distribution. Schaumburg Prius dealers are excited about the debut of the plug in Prius and believe it will do well in the auto market. Toyota hopes this trail period will eliminate any issues with the Prius before it is available to the public in 2012.

The Toyota Prius currently is a hybrid midsize vehicle. The Prius is environmentally friendly in every way from the amazing fuel efficiency to the bioplastics used to create the interior of the automobile. The Prius comes equipped with many options including a Navigation Package with a voice activated system to a Solar Roof Package that keeps the car cool even when passengers aren’t inside. The new plug in Prius should share the same options as the previous generation hybrids, with one significant difference, more electrical power.

The plug in Prius works just like it sounds, it needs to be plugged in for the car to charge. This new Prius still uses gasoline, however the battery pack on this Prius is much stronger and lasts much longer. The Prius can be plugged in to a house wall or recharged at charging stations that will begin popping up around the country. Currently, Coulomb Technologies is supplying charging stations for the organizations that are participating in the Prius trial period.

If the Toyota Prius is fully charged the automobile can run solely on electricity for 13 miles. After that the gasoline motor begins to power the automobile. Schaumburg Prius drivers are eager to see the new plug in version of the Prius. The plug in version can only add to the credibility and popularity of the Prius.

Toyota plans to continue to perfect the Prius as well as create a new electric car. Toyota plans to pair up with Telsa Motors of Palo Alto to produce a new incredible electric vehicle. Visit your Schaumburg Sienna dealership or any local Toyota dealer for more information on the new plug in Prius.

    Hassle free, no haggling, no games! The manager who approved the purchase price sat down with us to work out the details rather than the typical "boss" in the fish bowl who plays bad cop. Gave me a good, more than fair, price for my trade. I will drive from the SW suburbs again the next time I make a Toyota purchase. […]

    I recently bought a 2012 Camry from Shaumburg Toyota. Buying a new car can be aggravating and tedious. The folks at Schaumburg Toyota made it a quite pleasant and enjoyable experience. Everyone I met (Robert Rollins, salesman; Chris Haley, General Manager; Tom in Finance Dept., to name a few) treated me in a friendly and professional manner. It was the most […]

    Recently purchased a used car that only has one key. When I found out that it would be costly to make a second "chip" key, Anthony in the parts department was really helpful in finding the best option for the best price for us. He was super friendly and helpful during the whole experience. Thanks Anthony! […]

    Let me start by stating the fact that I like every other sound minded person dislikes the car buying experience...mostly because of the non-trust factor of sales people in the industry. I was in the market for a 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for my wife...I've vistited a few Toyota dealerships within a 20 mile radius of my home. I was met with mostly no […]

    Everyone at Schaumburg Toyota was extremely friendly. My Daughter was looking for a specific Rav4 and Lane Gibson was able to locate it for us. He had it available the very next day! I felt like I was getting a great deal but still shopped them with my local Toyota dealership, they had the car, and couldn't even beat the price that Lane Gibson quoted. T […]
