It's hard not to notice that the 2016 Toyota Prius has made a few, ahem, minor upgrades to its once-modest exterior:
But every inch of those upgrades came with subtle benefits. Because the newest generation of the iconic Prius is gearing up to be the most efficient yet.
In recent testing by Consumer Reports, the 2016 Prius hybrid was able to present a combined 52 mpg in real-world testing, busting the record that was previously held by the miniscule Honda Insight.
Testers went on to say:
"The 2016 Toyota Prius has sharper handling, a more cushioned ride, less grabby brakes, and nicer interior materials. And even with its flashy new exterior styling, the interior has plenty of space, while the hatchback layout makes it easy to haul large items. As such, the Prius is a proper family car for five occupants, with strong crash-test results, whereas the previous mileage champ Insight felt more like a two-seat science project."
Fashion meets function meets 'fficiency.... we almost made that work.
