It has a 1.8 litre motor,,, plenty of power for 110km's the only thing would change on a long stretch would be fuel economy....

The Toyota Prius is electric only at very low speeds, meaning that you’re always likely to be using the petrol engine during your journey.

After test driving the RAV and having the Hybrid Corolla for a week, I'd actually prefer if they augmented the electric side of the vehicle and made it a plugin.

Add a bit more battery capacity and enable it to be pure EV up to about 80kph.

I guess the issue would be cost I guess.

The current Prius has a 99 hp engine and weighs about 1300 kilos.

By contrast a VB commodore with double the engine size, made only a little more power and weighed about as much.

You do not need all the power onthe freeway. Power and torque are only there from stop start.

Even if you where right Jules,
If you buy a prius for city use and it uses a third of the fuel of any other car, what does it matter ?

Now BH is getting annoyed.

A Prius towing a caravan uphill closes that lane off for hours.

And an all electric heap towing a caravan uphill closes the whole highway when the lithium battery overheats and explodes!!!!

The world is impatiently waiting for the HYDROGEN SAVIOR which will take over when oil runs out.

Japan is going all out to become the first HYDROGEN POWERED COUNTRY.

And ScoMo needs to divert wasted subsidy away from renewable rubbish to hydrogen production to improve Australia's security from depending on fuel being imported.
