Whether you’re a longtime hybrid driver who’s eager to try something new or a first-time buyer searching for the latest technology, you’ll want to take a closer look at the newest Toyota Prius. Discover four reasons you should get behind the wheel of a 2017 Prius Prime.
Superior Efficiency
When you drive the new 2017 Prius Prime, decreasing your fuel consumption is second nature. This Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle leads its class in fuel economy, with an EPA-estimated 133 MPGe. The Prime allows drivers to choose between Electric Vehicle (EV) and Hybrid Vehicle (HV) Mode, so you’ll always have the ride you want. If you’d rather let the vehicle do the thinking, just select EV Auto Mode for optimal performance.
With a range of nearly 650 miles, the Prime ensures that you’ll always get where you need to go. Easily charge at home or at public stations, or save energy by scheduling your next charge.
Innovative Intelligence
The Prius Prime’s smart features don’t stop with its impressive efficiency. In fact, you’ll find intelligence around every corner of this vehicle. Stay connected and keep your battery full with Qi-compatible wireless charging, which is available on two of the three Prime models.
Connect your smartphone to your Prime, and you’ll have a range of apps at your fingertips. Use the Remote Climate app before you even step inside, and ensure that your vehicle is exactly the right temperature. Fire up the Vehicle Finder app to locate your car in a flash. Log in to the subscription-free Entune App Suite to access real-time traffic information, destination search, and social media.
Advanced Safety Features
Toyota has long been known for its advanced safety features, and the Prius Prime doesn’t disappoint. All models come standard with Toyota Safety Sense, a comprehensive suite of safety features. With Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert, and Automatic High Beams, you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.
Many models also include Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Intelligent Parking Assist, which helps drivers avoid accidents when driving under 10 mph. Also available on high-level models are features like Blind Spot Monitor, which detects objects in your blind spot, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, which alerts you to traffic and obstacles behind the vehicle.
Three Model Options
Not all Prius Primes are created equal, as Toyota offers three 2017 model options. Keep things simple with the Prius Prime Plus, which starts at $27,100 MSRP and includes features like Toyota Safety Sense, a Smart Key System, and a carbon-fiber reinforced rear hatch.
Take things to the next level with the Prius Prime Premium, which starts at $28,800 MSRP and adds an 11.6-inch HD multimedia display, heated front seats with SofTex trim, and Qi-compatible wireless smartphone charging. Reach for new heights with the Prius Prime Advanced, which starts at $33,100 MSRP and offers safety features like Intelligent Clearance Sonar with Intelligent Parking Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.
From superior efficiency to the latest tech, the 2017 Prius Prime is a top choice for hybrid drivers. Schedule a test drive and experience the new Prius for yourself.
