The Toyota Prius was the pioneer of hybrid cars when it first entered the market and remains a benchmark in electrified vehicles today. Offered in several versions with two different engines, the Prius is much more than a fuel-efficient car. It is a car that can be used very well for everyday adventures with its versatility and comfort. It’s also a car that lends itself very well to summer vacations. Here are three reasons to consider a 2022 Toyota Prius this summer.

Its versatility

The 2022 Toyota Prius is a car, but its cargo capacity is pretty close to what some SUVs have on the market. With 697 liters of cargo space with all the seats in place, the Toyota Prius is there for you when you have luggage or bags from Costco. Who said hybrid vehicles are less roomy?

It's also a very spacious car inside. It should be noted that the components of a hybrid engine take up less space than those of a traditional engine. So that means there are fewer elements cluttering up the interior. So, we end up with a more spacious interior and more room both in the front and in the rear.

With its ample cargo space and welcoming interior, the 2022 Toyota Prius is perfect for hitting the road with the family this summer, or for transporting our bikes or our paddleboard to the lake on weekends.

Its technologies

The Toyota Prius stands out in terms of both safety and connectivity. All models are fitted with the Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 system as standard, which includes:

• Pre-collision system with detection of pedestrians and cyclists
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full speed range
• Lane departure warning with steering assistance
• Lane keeping aid
• Automatic high beam headlights

In addition, the Prius comes with 8 airbags and offers optional all-wheel drive. This system, called e-AWD, is unique in its segment and allows the comfort and efficiency of the Prius to be appreciated regardless of road conditions.

In terms of connectivity, the Toyota Prius is no slouch either.

• 7- or 11.6-inch central screen
• Apple CarPlay
• Android Auto
• Wireless Qi charging
• Automatic temperature control
• Touch sensor lock / unlock function for tailgate and doors
• 4.2-inch TFT multifunction display
• Rain-activated windshield wipers

When you drive a Toyota Prius, you are always safe and always connected.

Its comfort

One of the most interesting things about a hybrid vehicle, besides reduced fuel consumption, is the quietness of the ride. When you drive a Prius, you barely hear the engine, which greatly enhances the driving experience.

This engine averages less than 4.5 liters per 100 kilometers without you having to adjust your driving. In addition, whether on the highway or in town, the comfort of the Prius is noticeable and appreciable. We could tell you a lot about it, but the best way to find out is to try the Prius for yourself! Schedule a test drive today!
