A new bargain on the 2014 Prius Plug-In

TOYOTA PRESS ROOM--

It just got a little easier for drivers to maximize their fuel savings and be environmentally responsible.

Toyota’s most advanced technology passenger car, the Prius Plug-in, will be available to customers at a substantially reduced price beginning with the 2014 model year.

Toyota has reduced MSRP on the 2014 Prius Plug-in Hybrid by over $2,000, making the starting MSRP $29,990.

The 2014 Prius Plug-in Hybrid is well-equipped (similar to a Prius Three), but adds these appealing features:


  • Heated cloth front seats – a unique standard feature available only on Prius Plug-in
  • Remote Climate – a feature that allows customers to activate their A/C remotely (standard on Prius Plug-in, available on Prius Three)
  • Ability to drive extended distances in EV Mode, helping to increase  fuel efficiency
  • Unique 10-spoke alloy wheels
  • 1 additional year of Roadside Assistance through ToyotaCare, for a total of 3 year

         



A motorcycle inspired Toyota vehicle.

Toyota has recently confirmed a new production vehicle and it only has 3 wheels. The vehicle shares much in common with a motorcycle, and is fully electric. It's Toyota's i-Road electric trike, and its a close range inner city commuting vehicle whose wheels don't function like that of a car with a steering rack. Instead the vehicle takes advantage of lean angles and drives much like a motorcycle would, making it very compact. It's an interesting little vehicle that would work great for folks who commute around downtown Charleston. It doesn't look like we will ever see the vehicle in the states, but its still quite a neat concept and the fact that it is actually going into production in the JDM (Japanese domestic market) says something about Toyota's confidence in a vehicle of this nature.
