Did you ever think that cars would be able to get more than 50 miles to the gallon? If you would have told me that 10 years ago, I would have thought you were crazy. But the 2010 Prius, one of the most anticipated Toyota cars in some time, has achieved that goal by implementing a number of new technologies and ideas.
One of the things that contribute to better gas mileage is the Hybrid Synergy Drive system in the new generation of the Prius. This technology is “90 percent newly-developed” and was used in previous generations. However, engineers made advancements in the idea to make the newest Prius even more efficient. The transaxle weighs less than in previous generations and torque losses are reduced as well. In addition, the inverter includes a new cooling system that is also smaller and lighter in the newer models.
The braking system also helps the gas mileage on the new Prius. The new generation’s braking system is electronically-controlled and it works more efficiently to “enhance regeneration.”
These are just a few of the things you will appreciate about these new Toyota cars. Order one today and get ready for the most efficient ride you have ever experienced!
