Description

The Prius is a revolutionary car powered by petrol and electricity. Its purpose is to provide improved driving performance with excellent fuel economy and low emissions. All Toyota vehicles with Hybrid Synergy Drive can run on battery power, engine power or a combination of both. This makes them "full" hybrid vehicles that charge their own batteries, as they run. In Australia, the range includes All New 3rd Generation Prius.

The Prius Fuel Saver Calculator (AU) lets you measure your own car's efficiency against the Prius. It compares your emissions in weight and your potential fuel savings in dollars.

Example: Toyota Prius vs Toyota Camry 2006 Fuel Consumption (L/100km): 3.9 L/100km vs 9.9 L/100km
CO2 Emissions: 1869 kg/yr vs. 4893 kg/yr (CO2 Saving: 3024 kg/yr)
Fuel Costs / Year: $1,007 vs. $2,557 (Saving: $1549)
