The Toyota Prius has made a name for itself by being ridiculously fuel efficient, due largely to the its hybrid engine and smart design, launching it to international success and acclaim. Some of the biggest criticisms of the car, however, had to do with the its performance, with some saying the engine was “too quiet” or that the Prius just wasn’t as fun to drive as a traditional all-fuel car. Well, that reputation is changing with the release of the 2016 Prius.
Redesigned with the image of a sprinter at the starting line as inspiration, the body of the 2016 Prius offers a sporty new profile and is now longer, sleeker, and more athletic looking, boasting a lower hood and chic character lines that run the length of the body to deliver a little punch to the car’s image.
But looks aren’t everything. Toyota also spent a lot of time with the mechanics of the car to deliver a totally revamped driving experience. Drivers of the 2016 model will enjoy a double-wishbone rear suspension, which, in concert with the Prius’ low center of gravity, gives it an entirely responsive, smooth, and fun driving experience.
If you thought you knew all about the Toyota Prius, it might be time to stop into Johnstown Laurel Toyota, located conveniently at 933 Eisenhower Blvd, Johnstown, to see all the great new changes that have been made. Who knows, you might just find that the 2016 Prius completely shatters your expectations of what a hybrid car can do.
