The New York International Auto Show is always a high point for the
auto industry, with new models making their debut and current models getting to
bask in the spotlight of new awards. One such model is the 2017 Toyota
Prius Prime, which was named the 2017 World Green Car. This is the second year in
a row that a Toyota model has taken home the prestigious award, with the Toyota
Mirai named the 2016 World Green Car last year.
Twelve new vehicles from across the globe were in the running for the
title of World Green Car. The vehicles were evaluated on fuel consumption,
tailpipe emissions, and more, with an international jury panel comprised of 75
top-level automotive journalists from 23 countries around the world making the
final call. Jack Hollis, group vice president and general manager of Toyota
division, talks about what the award means: “For global automakers like Toyota,
this award is a testament to our focus on developing products that both stir
the emotions and meet the mobility needs of our customers in all corners of the
world."
The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime takes what you love about the 2017 Toyota
Prius and pushes it further. It is a plug-in
hybrid that you can charge right in your home with the included charging cable.
In less than five-and-a-half hours—and using a standard wall outlet—you’re
ready to go. A large lithium-ion battery allows you to go further. Thanks to an
optimized Plug-in Hybrid Vehicle (PHV) system, cutting-edge light-weight
materials, and other innovations, this innovative Toyota vehicle delivers an
astounding EPA-estimated 133 MPGe and EPA-estimated total driving range of 640
miles.
