The 2015 Toyota Prius V is an Efficient Family Car

Mar 26, 2015

Many Gurnee drivers may not realize there is actually a whole family of 2015 Toyota Prius hybrid cars. The 2015 Toyota Prius V is a larger, wagon-like version of the iconic hybrid. This model has a roomier rear seat than the compact 2015 Toyota Prius thanks to its larger, wagon design and also has more cargo space. Choose the 2015 Toyota Prius V near Gurnee at Classic Toyota if you’re looking for an efficient family car.

Every 2015 Toyota Prius V has an advanced hybrid powertrain. This starts with a standard 1.8L four-cylinder engine that gets augmented by two separate electric motors fed by a battery pack. Together they produce 134 hp, which is delivered with a continuously variable transmission. In terms of fuel economy, these hybrids are rated by the EPA at an impressive 44 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.

A major benefit of choosing this model is its big backseat, which features, as described by Edmunds.com, “limolike legroom.” The rear seat can actually slide back and forth and even recline for maximum space or increase the cargo area.

Behind the rear seats, there’s a very big 34.3 cubic feet which is almost triple what you’d find in some sedan trunks. The rear seat is split folding to give you more passenger/cargo customizations. With it full folded down, there’s 67.3 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.

There are quite a few standard features for these models including full Bluetooth connectivity. You can easily access vehicle controls and entertainment through a spacious 6.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system. There’s also keyless entry and keyless ignition, plus USB ports.
