The 2015 Toyota Prius is as efficient as ever and is available near Eau Claire at Markquart Toyota. Read on to learn about some of Prius’s features and watch the video to see them in action.

For 14 years Toyota has been tweaking and improving the Prius and it shows in this latest model. The iconic shape still reduces wind resistance for better gas mileage and a quieter ride, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing space. The aerodynamic shape of the roof creates more head room in the 5-passenger cabin. There is also plenty of leg room and cargo space.

You also don’t have to compromise technology in the new Prius. With the available Entune App Suite, on-screen navigation, backup camera, and Bluetooth & USB connectivity convenience and entertainment are at your fingertips.

Prius also offers the top-notch safety. It’s equipped with 7 airbags and lane keep assist. The vehicle proximity notification system (VPNS) lets pedestrians and bicyclists know that you’re near. When the Prius is traveling under 15mph and running only on electric power, it’s usually too quiet to hear, so VPNS emits a sound to help caution those around you.

Because of the 2015 Toyota Prius’s ability to use electric power, you won’t find yourself at the gas station too often. Due to the Hybrid Synergy Drive system, Prius can use the gas engine, electric motor, or both for the most efficient fuel economy. This helps this iconic, hybrid car get an EPA Estimated 50 MPG on the Highway. Just because you’re saving energy doesn’t mean you have to give up performance, though. When you’re fully accelerating, the gas engine automatically takes over for a little while.
