The forward-thinking 2005 gas/electric Prius with Hybrid Synergy Drive¨ offers amazing fuel economy, an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (AT-PZEV) rating [D] and cutting-edge available features like Bluetooth TM [D] technology -- all with the performance of a conventional car. Plus, you never need to plug-in for recharging. What more could you ask for? How about a federal tax deduction for new Prius buyers?
The Art of "Inconspicuous
Consumption."
Prius is so clean-burning that it has been certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV).* What this means is that Prius runs nearly 75 percent cleaner than the standard for Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEV). This achievement is not only due to its sophisticated hybrid system, but to its entire design which focuses on energy efficiencies. And yet even with this emphasis, Prius remains so incredibly practical and comfortable you'd never know you were driving a vehicle that consumes gas as if it were a precious commodity.
