What's So Great About the Toyota Prius Prime?

Toyota Prius Prime

Almost everyone's heard of the Toyota Prius, one of the first widely available hybrid vehicles on the market. Adding Prime to the title is Toyota's way of telling you that this is the plug-in hybrid vehicle, so you can drive it like a hybrid or electric vehicle as you please. The 2021 Toyota Prius Prime offers a perfect choice for driving around the Baltimore area.

Performance

This plug-in hybrid version of the Prius has a predictably impressive fuel economy. The EPA estimates the Prius Prime to drive 55 MPG in the city and 53 MPG on the highway, and you can drive up to 25 miles in EV mode. Altogether, it has an estimated 133 MPGe, making it ideal for any environmentally conscious or gas-station-hating drivers in Alexandria.

When you buy your new Toyota Prius Prime, you won't have to worry about paying to keep it in stellar condition. ToyotaCare covers your first two years or 25,000 miles of ownership, whichever comes first, with factory-scheduled maintenance. Plus, you'll have three years of 24/7 roadside assistance, so if something goes wrong in between visits, you won't be stranded outside Arlington.

Safety

Your Prius Prime will come with a suite of Toyota Safety Senseâ„¢ 2.0 driver-assist technologies. You don't have to worry about missing a speed limit sign when Road Sign Assist can detect and display posted speed limits, and it can even detect stop signs, yield signs, do not enter signs and more.

Specially designed for their electric vehicles, the Prius Prime also has the Vehicle Proximity Notification System. This system emits noise when the vehicle is operating in electric mode and at low speeds, and it's designed to match the audible detectability of similar-sized gas vehicles to keep the visually impaired and distracted aware of your position.

Top 5 Reasons to Buy an Electric Vehicle

Top 5 Reasons to Buy an Electric Vehicle Are you looking to enjoy Toyota dependability and say goodbye to burning gasoline? The Toyota lineup offers a wide selection of electrified vehicles, including the all-electric Toyota bZ4X. When you want to take the more eco-friendly route and enjoy the sterling reputation for reliability that the Toyota lineup has to offer, you can find plenty of options here at Fitzgerald Toyota Gaithersburg, proudly serving Baltimore. Explore the electrified Toyota lineup and discover the benefits of going electric here at our dealership. Fuel Savings One of the main benefits of going electric is the fact that you can save on gas. Electric vehicles use the power of batteries and electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, which means that you can enjoy fuel savings when you make burning gas a thing of the past. Easier Maintenance Since electric vehicles lack an internal combustion engine, they are broadly easier to maintain. Many of the bigger service needs that vehicles have are tied to their engines, which means that you don't have to worry about as much with electric vehicles. Things like oil changes and engine tune-ups won't factor into your service visits, but your EV will still need occasional maintenance. HOV Lane Access HOV lanes are typically restricted for carpooling, but driving an EV means that you can often use these lanes solo. That means that you can make your commute a little easier when you drive an EV. Thrilling Performance Unlike gas-powered vehicles, electric vehicles are adept at jumping off the starting line with near-instant torque. That means that your experience behind the wheel is sure to be more exciting when you choose an EV. Zero Emissions Electric vehicles come with an environmental boom, thanks to their lack of an internal combustion engine. Driving an EV won't generate exhaust, so you won't even find a tailpipe on an electric vehicle.
