Prius engine is an in-line 4-cylinder 1.5L 16 Valve DOHC engine
with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence), while the

also notice a healthier bank balance…
When driving the Toyota Prius you will notice that there are no
gear changes, this is due to the fact that the Toyota Prius doesn’t
use a conventional manual or automatic transmission. In fact, the
Toyota Prius uses an electric motor which simply increases the revs
when you want to go faster using what is called a Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT).
The Toyota Prius also prides itself as a safe car. The Toyota Prius
uses an advanced Anti-skid Braking System (ABS) which quite simply
prevents your car from skidding thus improving stopping distance
and reducing the risk of an accident. With dual airbags, head impact
protection, Motor Traction Control (TRC) and Vehicle Stability Control
(VSC) and Rear reversing sensors; it’s not hard to see why
the Toyota Prius has become the smart choice of car for more than
1 million people.
