There are reasons why the Toyota Prius Hybird is the best selling vehicles in the world. Extremely easy to use, increase the mileage of almost nothing, easily accessible and can lead to a shuttle craft when required. But everything that the user lots of work, seriously. During a press conference in Napa, California, last week, Toyota has given us the details of what and how the third generation of the Prius came after four years and thousands of encounters. Indeed, the chief engineer Prius Akihiko Otsuka TMC joked by saying that it is not for Toyota Motor Company, but the meeting Toyota. An old chestnut trees, a joke, perhaps, but entirely in this situation.Bob Carter, Group Vice President and General Manager of the Division of Toyota, has told us that the official mileage 2010 Prius is 50 mpg city and 49 mpg highway. I knew that 50 mpg combined figure of the opening of Detroit, but these almost identical city / highway numbers are new. The difference between the city and the highway was something that the owner wanted the Prius in the development of this new model, says Carter. There was a difference of three mpg in the second generation of models, in the first seven.
The production of the new Prius is at the end of the month of April and the first vehicles arrive at the end of spring. Toyota expects that some 100,000 units of the 3rd Generation in 2009, 180,000 in a calendar year. This is the forecast, but is on the construction of the claim. A decision in the light of today's economy. Toyota is convinced there is an application for the new Prius, and believes that the Prius May seven percent have a share in the segment of the vehicles away. An important factor is the price (Insight and competition), Toyota announced closer. The new Prius is not for sale for a few months, but if you know what you get when you are available.
