Considered the best hybrid car by consumers is the Toyota Prius. This is based on sales and a satisfaction rating of nearly 98%.  Since its introduction in 2003, this gas-electric hybrid has found a solid market in United States with being third in overall sales of all cars.

New for 2010 is the third generation version with an increase in power. The engine displacement was increased from 1.5L to 1.8L. This translates to an increase of 50hp to 160 over the previous model. Unlike conventional cars, the larger engine delivers an increase in fuel mileage. All this with an additional increase in over size of the vehicle shows that smart engineering is in demand and doable.  Also new this year is the bragging right of the Prius to claim to be the only vehicle today that can deliver over 50 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving.

The smart engineering was utilized when the engineers keep the overall weight of the vehicle down and has the best aerodynamics of any production vehicle being produced anywhere in the world. For those that wish to have zero emissions, there is also a situation during driving that offers all electric propulsion. The only two draw backs appears that the Prius still lacks plug-in capability and the electrical side is still powered by nickel metal hydride batteries.

With his year’s model being longer, taller and wider, occupants will feel more comfortable and relaxed while riding or driving this vehicle. With a new optional moon-roof that is fitted with solar panels that provides the power to the ventilation system, this car is truly green. This is the best hybrid car and in our opinion the best vehicle in production the world has ever had a choice at purchasing.
