Returning for a seventh generation, the model has been one of the best wagons still available on the North American market.
However, although the state has made considerable progress decoupling economic growth from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the rate of emissions decline appears to be slowing, due in part to a spike in transportation emissions attributed to an increase from light-duty vehicles. in emissions from on-road vehicles. million MTCO 2 e of the 4.9
Toyota projects fuel economy of 52 mpg city / 48 mpg highway / 50 mpg combined for the AWD-e model, and estimates that the AWD-e model—which is debuting at the LA Auto Show—could account for as much as 25% of annual US Prius sales. The Prius gets a good share of its fuel efficiency by cheating the wind with an ultra-low 0.24
The S is positioned more as upmarket SUV than an outright performer -- maybe we'll see a Trackhawk down the line -- but that didn't stop some of the assembled media from lighting up the tires at a stoplight. We were at slow speeds, in auto mode, and we were getting bounced around a bit too much. Tire noise was non-existent.
