The rich and the famous don’t always drive high-end luxury cars. Many environmentally conscious famous people choose, instead, to ride around town in their very own Ford Prius. Whether they value the Prius’s fuel efficiency, its quiet handling, or its stylish profile, let’s take a look at some of the most well-known Prius owners.
Jessica Alba
Known for her turns in movies like Fantastic Four and Entourage, Jessica Alba is a well-known American actress. She’s graced the covers of numerous magazines and earned titles like Sexiest Woman in the World. She’s also a proud Prius owner. Her decision to buy the Prius might have to do with her eco-friendly attitude. She founded a company that produces and sells non-toxic home products.
The Prius is definitely the car for consumers who want to narrow their carbon footprints. With an EPA rating of 51 mpg on the highway and 48 mpg in the city, you won’t have to burn nearly as much fuel when you drive the Prius as you would with gas-guzzling cars.
Leonardo DiCaprio
You know him from his roles in blockbuster hits like Titanic, Django Unchained, and Shutter Island. What you might not know, however, is that Leonardo DiCaprio is also a notorious penny-pincher. He’s known to make calculated purchases and only to splurge when it’s something that really matters to him. Plus, he drives a Prius.
This makes sense on multiple levels for DiCaprio. In addition to the gas savings described above, the Prius is also an extremely affordable car. The 2015 Toyota Prius has a starting MSRP of just $24,200. You don’t have to earn millions of dollars as a movie star to afford it.
Jennifer Aniston
She was Rachel on “Friends” for 10 laugh-out-loud years, and now she stars in movies every single year, her star growing bigger with every film. Aniston recently wed long-time boyfriend Justin Theroux and is currently filming two movies for 2016: Mother’s Day and The Yellow Birds. Of course, she also drives a Prius.
She used to roll around town in a Range Rover, but apparently the Prius is more Jennifer’s style these days. She might drive the Prius because of its ground-breaking role in bringing hybrids from concept to reality or for its many tech features, such as push-button start and remote air conditioning system.
Gwyneth Paltrow
With a host of award-winning films under her belt and a successful website and product line, actress and businesswoman Gwyneth Paltrow hardly needs an introduction. She graces the covers of magazines and earns top billing in major blockbuster movies. Her car of choice? A Toyota Prius. Paltrow is a famous mother of two who might have chosen the Prius because of its stellar safety ratings. The Prius comes equipped with numerous safety features, from Toyota’s Star Safety System to lane keep assist functionality.
It’s not necessary to earn a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame just to buy a Prius, but it’s nice to know that celebrities see the Prius’s benefits.
