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.

    I bought a 2007 Ford F-150 there used with high mileage that immediately began to have problems upon driving it for about 30 minutes. Ford examined it and told me that it needed a new engine (about 7k) from Ford. I contacted Bill, their GM, whom was really great to deal with. As you can imagine I was expecting a fight, however I found him to be quite an exce […]

    We recently bought a 2012 Prius V from Schaumburg Toyota and honestly, it was the best car buying experience my husband and I have had. A few days before visiting the dealer, I requested an online quote from their internet department. They quickly responded with a quote and also another email from a salesman with his contact info. With that in hand, along wi […]

    Michael was one of the best salespersons we have ever dealt with for a car purchase at any dealership. Kind, pleasant, not pushy, patient, understanding and overall great. If we would have had to deal with his supervisor or the final person we dealt with, we would not have purchased the automobile at this Dealership. Their service department is excellent and […]
