The automotive world has come a long way since the plug-in concept was first introduced. Back then, many people doubted the viability of a plug-in vehicle, and few would have predicted that the plug-in hybrid concept would take off in the United States like it has. Even fewer people believed that plug-in driving would one day become affordable, with prices akin to its traditional, gasoline-consuming competitors. But that day has come. Toyota recently announced that the based 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in hybrid will be offered for under $30,000.
What does this mean to our customers? It means that all of the benefits of plug-in driving–the savings on gasoline, the low impact on the environment and the latest in automotive technology–are accessible to more drivers. It means that more people will benefit from the 1.8-liter HSD/E-CVT engine which, in EV Mode, gets an EPA-rated 95 mpge. If the electric charge does run out, the Prius Plug-in shifts to hybrid mode, which will earn you an EPA-estimated 50 mpg.
You’ll also benefit from new features like heated cloth front seats, remote activation of the climate control system and extended range when driving in EV mode. If you opt for the Prius Plug-in Advanced, you’ll enjoy features like premium HDD Navigation with Entune® App Suite, a head-up display and Safety Connect.
Gurnee dealerships are certainly looking forward to welcoming the 2014 Toyota Prius Plug-in. This car is part of a family of Toyota vehicles that dealers are proud of–that it will become more affordable to drive only sweetens the deal. So come in and check out the Prius Plug-in today and see how far hybrid driving has come.
