2012 Toyota Prius c
Episode 3130
By now you’ve heard much about the Toyota Prius family of hybrid cars. Well, the latest member to join the family is its smallest one yet, the Prius C. The C-for-city promises the best around town fuel economy of any non-plug-in hybrid on the road. But, is there anything more to the C, than just good mpg?
Every family is happy to see a new “little-one” arrive, and this 2012 Toyota Prius C is no exception. With great fuel economy being one reason that more people are looking at smaller cars and certainly the main reason people buy hybrids, the C looks to be the perfect marriage of the two and the right car at the right time.
But before we declare that, let’s download the data. The Prius C is based on a shortened Yaris chassis, so when we say it’s a small car, we’re not exaggerating. Wheelbase is just 100.4-inches. Overhangs, both front and rear are very brief, making it appear even shorter than it is. Overall length is just 157.3-inches.
Standard wheels are steel and 15-inches in diameter, with 16-inch alloys optional. Up front, the look is familiar Prius, but with sizable trapezoidal grille openings that help to give it a sportier tilt.
The rear-end tapers in a bit to optimize aerodynamics, which are also helped by a hatch-top rear spoiler. Tall, vertical tail lights wrap up into the fenders to help give the look some substance. Good thing since the C only weighs 2,500 pounds, or about 500 less than the standard Prius.
So, not surprisingly it is powered by a downsized Hybrid Synergy Drive system, starting with a 1.5-liter I4 rated at 73-horsepower and 82 pound feet of torque. That little engine-that-almost-can gets much needed help from a pair of electric motor-generators to give a combined output of 99-horsepower.
All of that gets you a Government Fuel Economy Rating of 53 City on Regular gas. While that’s the best of any current hybrid, its highway rating of 46 is actually less than the larger Prius, so the C’s combined rating of 50 is the same.
Energy Impact Scores also match the regular Prius at a stingy 6.6-barrels of oil per year, while emitting only 2.9 annual tons of CO2.
Despite the miniature powertrain, the C’s light weight makes it feel more spirited than its larger brethren. Still, we estimate the 0-to-60 time is similar at about 10.5 seconds.
You can tool around in ECO and EV modes only; there’s no Power mode like the larger cars, and power still flows through a foggy CVT transmission, so there’s nothing sporty to note here either.
For a car that’s designed to be a “city car”, the C holds its own on highways just as well. We never felt a lack of power, but we did have fairly low expectations going in. Visibility is good all around, and the C doesn’t feel tiny when you’re behind the wheel; it’s also quieter than the typical subcompact.
The tilt/telescoping steering wheel has redundant controls, and as in all other current Prius’, Smart Key with keyless entry and push button start is standard.
The two-tone interior is a good mix of youthful styling with comfort and user-friendliness. Seats are cloth except for top- level C4 trim that get SofTex simulated leather. The folding rear seat is either 1 or 2 piece, depending on which grade you purchase and trunk capacity is generous at 17.1 cubic-feet.
In current Prius vein, the dash-top gauge cluster includes a color info screen with a multitude of different fuel economy screens, and on the passenger side of the dash is a media tray with USB and auxiliary inputs.
With four trim levels, pricing begins at $19,710 for a Prius C One. That’s some 3 grand less than the standard Prius. The top level C Four is stickered at $23,990.
There’s no argument that the best selling point of the 2012 Prius C is its great fuel economy. But beyond that, the C is also a pretty decent subcompact overall. Add in a well equipped price that doesn’t break the bank, and it looks like the C is indeed more than just good MPG.

Weekly Recap: Ford GT inspires guitar, foosball table, sailboat
Sat, Apr 18 2015Ford design vice president Moray Callum had just wrapped up a briefing on the interior of the Ford GT last month, but something seemed out of place. He grinned and pointed behind him, "You might be wondering why I have a boat behind me," he said mischievously. It was there because Ford set its designers on a mission to stretch and showcase their talents: design non-automotive objects inspired by the interior of the GT supercar. Callum received quite a response, too. His team produced a guitar, a foosball table (yeah bro!), a racing sailboat, a Wi-Fi speaker and some furniture. As the veteran design chief explained, "It's a really great exercise both to highlight our designers' talents, but also to really see how our design philosophy can work and how you can use it and get a common response back from a worldwide design team." Guitar View 25 Photos The objects have been on display this week at the Salone del Mobile furniture and fashion design fair in Milan, Italy, where Ford has had a presence for three years. There's also a light exhibition that apparently was inspired by the GT, as well. While this might seem a little far-fetched for the automaker, Ford said exhibitions like the Salone del Mobile give its designers another way to be creative and ultimately produce striking interior style. Ford wants this to be a differentiator, as research shows consumers are placing emphasis on the layout and features inside when they're making a decision about buying a new car. It's a little light hearted – but it's also potentially big business. Other News & Notes Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for Buick General Motors product chief Mark Reuss said the Cadillac CT6 platform could be used for a large Buick, though "not yet," Automotive News reported. The underpinnings can accommodate rear-wheel or all-wheel drive and would give Buick the large flagship it lacks. The report jibes with comments Reuss made at a roundtable with Autoblog and other reporters at the New York Auto Show. When asked if Buick had space for a large car on the CT6 chassis, he replied, "Yeah, I think it does. Yeah, I think we do." Buick has revamped its lineup in recent years with attractive crossovers and small and midsize sedans, but hasn't added the proverbial flagship that's yearned for by enthusiasts. Buick surprised industry observers with the stylish Avenir concept at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year that raised the possibility of a halo sedan.
Toyota asking NHTSA for waiver on 206K vehicles
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Toyota has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking for a waiver to avoid recalling about 206,271 2012-2014 Camry, Avalon, Corolla, Sienna, Tundra and Tacoma vehicles, some of its most popular models. The affected vehicles contain seat heaters that might not meet government flammability standards. Toyota says in the waiver that "the chance of fire or flame induced by a malfunctioning seat heater is essentially zero," according to The Detroit News. The automaker notes the part makes up less than one percent of the seat's weight.
Initial reports of the problem arose in late January when Toyota issued a stop-sale order for 2013 and 2014 model year versions of those vehicles. The automaker says that there have no been reports of fires or injuries in the affected cars, and the problem was discovered during testing by the South Korean government, according to The Detroit News.
We've reached out to Toyota for comment on this development and are awaiting a reply. We'll update this post if and when we hear back.
Unifor may establish local union for Toyota's Canadian plants
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Union tactics apparently translate across borders, as Canada's Unifor may take inspiration from the United Auto Workers' recent move at the Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga, TN, and establish a local for the Toyota factories in Cambridge and Woodstock.
Unifor last attempted to organize the workers at the two factories, which are responsible for production of the Toyota Corolla (above), RAV4 and Lexus RX back in April, but that vote was eventually delayed. According to that report, 3,000 of the two plants' 7,500 employees signed union cards, but that apparently wasn't enough for Unifor to force a vote.
Because of this, the union is looking at the local approach, like what the UAW is attempting with VW.
