If there’s one thing that the Prius name is best known for, it would definitely be its lineage of hybrid options. Currently on the fifth year of its third generation, the Toyota Prius continues to be a leader in the hybrid car market. And with the arrival of the 2014 Toyota Prius, it only goes to show that sometimes amazing things happen not just once. For anyone desiring a reputable hybrid packed with the best fuel economy and resale value, the Prius still proves to be a wise choice.
Performance
The 2014 Toyota Prius is available in four trim levels: Two, Three, Four, and Five. Across all trims is a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder Atkinson-cycle engine complete with a couple of electric motor generators and Hybrid Synergy Drive powertrain. The result is a total hybrid system horsepower of 134, allowing the hatchback to reach a speed of up to 30mph. Notably equipped with the best fuel economy, the 2014 Toyota Prius comes with a rating of 51 city/48 highway. These are truly impressive numbers for a hybrid car.
Features
Standard features on board the base 2014 Toyota Prius Two include the steering wheel mounted Touch Tracer Display that enables easy navigation access to information display without taking the hands off the wheel. There is also a 6.1-inch touchscreen audio display complete with Bluetooth connectivity, height adjustable driver’s seat, push button start, and a couple of 12-volt power outlets.
Adding to the features on the first trim option, the 2014 Prius Three comes standard with heated and power adjustable driver’s seat, fog lights, energy-saving LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, and an upgraded audio system complete with Entune telematics and navigation. These features are carried over up to the two higher trim levels.
Safety
As far as safety is concerned, the 2014 Toyota Prius comes with seven airbags and the same electronic safety systems it came with back in 2010. Among these features include a rear view camera, lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and a technology for Intelligent Parking Assist. In cases of an accident, the Prius is built with a Safety Connect system, which sends out notifications to first responders.
