2018 Toyota Prius and Toyota Hybrid Vehicle Environmental Benefits

It is no secret that Toyota is one of the most environmentally-friendly automotive brands. The Japanese automaker is already “LEEDing” the way by being more sustainable with its materials, production, and business practices. Of course, one of the most famous environmental endeavors for Toyota is the development of its Prius model.

2018 Toyota Prius Engine Specifications and Emission Ratings

The Toyota Prius has come a long way since its introduction nearly two decades ago. The 2018 edition is incredibly stylish with its sleek design and slanted hatchback styling – and its mechanisms were designed to be as user-friendly and efficient as possible. Under the hood of the 2018 Toyota Prius is a 1.8L 4-cylinder DOHC engine with Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-I) and EV / ECO / POWER modes. This engine generates 95 horsepower and 105 lb.-ft. of torque. With the help of a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor, the 2018 Toyota Prius delivers a smooth yet fun ride while pumping out the cleanest emissions possible.
The 2018 Toyota Prius has a Tier 3 Bin 30 classification from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Emission Standard. It is also classified as a Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) III and Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) 30 by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Emission Standard.

Fuel Economy of the 2018 Toyota Prius

Most 2018 Toyota Prius models can reach an estimated fuel economy of 54 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on the highway. And with the help of an 11.3-gallon fuel tank, up to 610.2 city miles or 565 highway miles can be covered. That means you will need fewer fossil fuels!
