Becoming the Current Toyota Prius
The first Toyota Prius arrived in 2001 and was among the very first gas/electric hybrid models. It stood out with its fuel economy, feature-rich cabin, and elegant design. While the original Prius was excellent, Toyota added more options for the 2002 version, including side airbags, GPS, additional exterior colors, daytime running lights, and cruise control. The 2004 Prius was redesigned, growing in exterior dimensions, which led to an increase in interior room. It also got more power along with improved fuel economy and even more options. For 2005, a rear wiper became standard. 2006 saw a larger number of changes, including a new instrument panel, new darker seat fabric, updated taillights and headlights, and tire pressure monitoring. In 2007, the Toyota Prius got standard full-length head curtain airbags and front-seat side airbags to further improve its safety.
The Prius was once again redesigned for the 2010 model year, including improved fuel economy, enhanced steering, more options, and a restyled interior. This third-generation model was able to get 51 mpg* for city driving and 48 mpg* on the highway, the only model in the country that had over 50 mpg* combined. It also had a 134 horsepower, a revised body shape for better aerodynamics and headroom, a multi-information display with monitors for energy and fuel consumption, and an optional sliding glass moonroof. In 2012, Toyota updated the trims and offered power seats for convenience.
