2009 Toyota Prius
Hybrid 4 door Touring Hatchback -
4-cyl, automatic, Navigation, Blue Tooth
Underneath
the 2009 Toyota Prius' hood resides the "Hybrid Synergy Drive." This
drive train consists of a 1.5-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine and two
electric motors -- one driving the front wheels, the other functioning solely
as a generator to recharge the car's battery pack. Power is routed through a
specialized continuously variable automatic transmission. The gas engine
produces 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque. With the electric motor,
net peak hp is 110, which is deceiving since the two power sources hit their
peaks at different times. Regardless, power delivery is smooth and consistent
from rest all the way to top speed. Although
the 2009 Toyota Prius would make a fine highway companion, the car really
shines when driven in the city, where its light steering, tight turning radius
and excellent visibility make it easy to park and maneuver through traffic.
Additionally, the Prius often returns its best gas mileage in freeway gridlock,
as it's able to spend more time in full-electric mode. Moreover,
the Prius stands out by offering an unusual but uniquely space-efficient body
design. It may not look big from the outside, but climb inside and you'll find
the Prius surprisingly large and utilitarian. The backseat offers plenty of
room for adults and rear-facing infant seats. The 14.4-cubic-foot hatchback
trunk is also quite large and can accommodate several roller suitcases, golf
clubs or a double stroller. Plus, the folding seatbacks provide an
uninterrupted cargo area that no sedan can match. This
Prius comes with optional Package #3 (a $2,555 value) which includes the JBL cd
changer, MP3, satellite radio and bluetooth, stability control, and backup
camera. It also has optional leather seats, which is a $1,499 value. This car
has outstanding gas mileage, low emissions, a generous amount of interior room,
and is easy to maneuver in tight spaces, all at a terrific price.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name
Thu, 07 Aug 2014
The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?
Recharge Wrap-up: BMW plans for retired batteries; automakers support dual-standard chargers
Sun, Feb 1 2015Toyota will test hybrids with silicon-carbide (SiC) power semiconductors. In Japan, Toyota has put the SiC power semiconductors into the power control units of a Camry Hybrid prototype and a fuel cell bus for a year-long test. Research suggests the SiC units will decrease electrical losses while managing power supply, thus improving overall powertrain efficiency. Current power semiconductors account for about 20 percent of electrical losses, and success with these tests could mean more efficient hybrids on the roads in the future. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Automakers from CCS and CHAdeMO camps are supporting dual-standard charging station networks. https://www.autoblog.com/bmw/, Volkswagen (CCS camp) and ChargePoint announced plans to build "express charging corridors" by installing about 100 DC fast chargers, many of which will support both types of charging. Kansas City Power & Light is partnering with Nissan (CHAdeMO camp) and ChargePoint to install DC chargers that "will charge any model of electric vehicle on the market." This leads the folks at Green Car Reports to look into whether this ends the looming standard war between automakers in the US. Read more at Green Car Reports. BMW, Bosch and utility company Vattenfall are making plans for a second life for retired BMW i3 batteries. The Second Life Batteries Alliance project will recycle the old lithium ion battery packs - which can still hold a charge - in off-grid storage and grid-stabilization applications, beginning with a grid storage system in Hamburg, Germany. Bosch has created a battery management algorithm to extend the life of the batteries and make sure they don't cause harm to Vattenfall's facilities. Read more at Transport Evolved.
Toyota FT-1 hints at Supra, more aggressive hybrids
Mon, Jan 13 2014Toyota showed off the new FT-1 performance concept at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show today, and the obvious story angle is that this is the new Supra. That's enough weight for most concept cars to carry, but then we thought about it a bit more - FT-1 stands for "Future Toyota 1," after all - and re-read the hints Toyota is dropping about how the FT-1 fits into the company's future. Put all the pieces together, and we think there's a chance Toyota's hybrid models are about to get a whole lot cooler. Technically, the FT-1 is an EV, but that's just because all it has for a powetrain is a small battery and motor to move it around on stage. This concept doesn't even have a proposed powertrain, but a production Supra could have any number of powerplants under the hood (V6, V8, hybrid and inline-six are all mentioned by Automotive News). We also like the big red start button on the steering wheel, which owes at least a little to the blue start button in the Prius. What we're more interested here is what this sleek red beast could do for the look of Toyota's hybrids. The FT-1 could change how Toyota designs cars in the future. To make the FT-1, Akio Toyoda, the president and CEO of Toyota Motor Corporation, apparently challenged Toyota's Calty Design Research team to create a car with passion and "a palpable heart-pounding sense of excitement." Instead of making design decisions "by consensus among a large group of stakeholders," the company says "the [design] approval process has been streamlined. This new approach aims to produce cars that connect more deeply with customers." There was a sense in Detroit today that the FT-1 heralds a change in how the company designs cars in the future. The FT-1 is apparently not the result of Toyota's hybrid supercar partnership with BMW, but we know that Toyota isn't a total stranger to a high-performance hybrid category, having built the TS030 hybrid Le Mans race car. For an on-road gas-electric from the company, though, we're much more used to the egg-shaped Prius. While Toyota has backed off a 2003 pledge to make every model a hybrid, it has said that it wants gas-electrics powertrains to proliferate throughout the line-up. And, if the FT-1 previews a new Toyota look, then at least some of those hybrids will benefit from some of the good looks on display in Detroit.
