Doron Levin, host of “In The Drivers Seat” Sirius Channel 121, and Lou Ann Hammond, CEO, Driving the Nation talked about the 2016 Toyota Prius on Doron Levin’s Sirius 121 “In The Drivers Seat”.
About the 2016 Toyota Prius
Doron and I test drove the new Toyota Prius in Dana Point, California. A great new design, the Prius is based on the Toyota’s New Global Architecture (TNGA). The fuel numbers and pricing for the Prius are below.
2016 Toyota Prius hybrid pricing
2016 Toyota Prius Two $24,200
2016 Toyota Prius Two Eco $24,700
2016 Toyota Prius Three $26,250
2016 Toyota Prius Three Touring $28,100

Toyota says the 2016 Toyota Prius hybrid is anticipating fuel economy ratings of 54 MPG city/50 MPG highway/52 MPG combined (Final EPA figures pending.). That’s better than any mass-produced passenger vehicle available without a plug. And, as before, the Prius sips regular-grade gasoline and Toyota says the mpg and performance are tested on regular gasoline. A new Eco grade model is expecting ratings of 58 MPG city/53 MPG highway/56 MPG combined
