Fuel Efficient Hybrid Powertrain
An experienced staff of the Twin Falls Toyota dealer explained to us that, to address the current fuel crisis, Toyota has made the 2020 Prius equipped with a hybrid powertrain that can fetch an appreciable fuel efficiency rating. Under the hood of a 2020 Toyota Prius a 1.8-Liter, 4-cylinder engine in combination with a DOHC 16-Valve with Variable Valve Timing transmission makes 96 hp @ 5200 rpm and 105 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3600 rpm while a 121 hp making 90kW capacitive electric motor keeps it running to save on the costly fuel.
With this setup the 2020 Toyota Prius hybrid powertrain driven on the Eco drive mode earns you back up to 58 mpg in the crowded city roads and 53 mpg on the speeding highways.
If you have chosen one of the front-wheel-drive versions, the EPA rating will count 54 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on highway.
Interior Enhancements
With the 2020 year, the Toyota Prius lineup has marched forward in its comfort and convenience by enhancing its interior luxury appointments.
