AL Toyota Dealer Serving Dothan | Alabama New & Used Cars

If you are looking for a hybrid with a cargo space equivalent to some SUVs, take a serious look at the 2018 Toyota Prius v. The v model is the most spacious of the Prius family, thereby fulfilling the need for owners who have to haul their stuff or passengers around.

The Prius v has the most rear seat room of any Prius, therefore it’s a great choice for someone running a taxi service or carpool.

The 2017 Toyota Prius v Two is the base trim of the Prius v line. It uses a 1.8-liter gasoline engine to provide power and charge the batteries. The engine start/stop is seamless and transfers power via a planetary gear set. When the Prius v comes to a stop, the engine shuts off to save gas.

The v Two comes nicely equipped with features many vehicle base trims don’t have. They include:

  • Automatic climate control
  • Bluetooth® phone connectivity
  • Backup camera
  • Keyless start
  • Power windows and locks
  • 16-inch aluminum wheels

The Prius v, like all Prius vehicles, operate normally and virtually silently between electric and gas modes. The v will go 0-60 mph in a bit over 10 seconds, and through a quarter-mile in 17.8 seconds at 78 mph. This is not sports car performance, but Prius owners have traditionally been more interested in the fuel savings aspects of owning a Prius. At highway speeds road, engine, and wind noise are very reasonable for a car this size.

If you want a hybrid vehicle with the room to carry lots of cargo or adult passengers, you need to come to Marianna Toyota and look at the 2017 Toyota Prius v Two. You can enjoy good economy without sacrificing the room you enjoyed in your last SUV or larger sedan.
