The road to greener Brunei begins with the new Prius.
When we think of making our world a cleaner and greener place, it’s not hard to be engulfed by headlines of international talks, or environmentalist conventions without any concrete and foreseeable conclusions.
That leaves us with no solutions, as well as the future of our world to hang by a thread.
Fortunately, Toyota developed a way forward without us having to wait on for other solutions.
It is a new automobile designed to protect our environment and ensure a greener future for generations to come.
And all we need to do to make it a success is simply to choose to drive it.
The all-new Toyota Prius with Hybrid Synergy Drive is the automobile that will lead the hybrid revolution and change the future of our cars. It is one-of-a-kind techno-revolution. But most of all, it is the car that will turn our dreams of more greens into reality.
The new Prius combines the powers of a conventional 1.8-litre petrol engine and a Nickel-Metal Hydride battery-powered electric motor. Simply put, the petrol engine kicks in only when it’s needed, leaving the electric motor to drive the rest of the way.
And that means four essential benefits of the Prius – lesser fuel is used, less toxic gases emitted, more money saved and unforgettable driving experience for you and your family.
The Hybrid Synergy Drive enables surplus energy generated by the petrol engine to be converted into electrical energy. This is then stored in the battery, which in turn powers the electric motor.
Hence, the electric motor powers the Prius at start-up, cruising or at a stop. And when extra power is required, especially in hard acceleration, the petrol engine would kick in as an additional source of power.
So it’ll be no surprise if you hear the Prius’ performance is comparable, or even better than 2.4-litre class cars.
Not everything advanced takes place under the hood of the Prius. In fact, the Prius is based on the concept of “human technology” that creates a personal, yet unique touch for drivers.
Its futuristic design too flows organically around its occupants.
Advanced technologies come together with the subtlety of eco-motifs in trim and seat upholstery, reflecting the Prius’ fresh values and green themes.
The central display provides all the information drivers need. The speed and fuel monitors are all digitally enhanced; while energy monitors are shown so drivers know which power source is driving their way.
And when it comes to comfort and convenience, the centre console delivers with one-touch controls and unique electronic shift lever, and the steering wheel has built-in controls so drivers don’t take their eyes off the road. Space is abundant, and functional and practical features within let the Prius accommodate your active lifestyle.
Last but not least, the Prius comes with active and passive safety measures to ensure total peace of mind. From the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) to SRS airbags and a Traction Control System (TRC), the Prius is well equipped to assure top-level safety in its class.
