2008 Toyota Prius

2008 Toyota Prius Model Overview

Vehicle Summary: 2008 Toyota Prius

Toyota's first hybrid-powered vehicle continues to remain a popular choice among those who are looking to conserve fuel and drive a "greener" vehicle. It combines a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with an electric motor/generator and a rechargeable battery pack to attain excellent fuel economy. The Prius can run solely on electric power until around 20 mph, and the gasoline engine shuts down when the car is temporarily stopped. Its unique hatchback styling gives it a distinctive look, and some practicality.
