Toyota Of Wallingford

If you wanted to know what the single best green car to buy in 2012, you might have some difficulty finding the answer. GreenCarReports will tell you the answer isn't merely one vehicle... Rather it's the entire Toyota Prius family of cars.

Toyota Of Wallingford was proud to find out that the Prius was able to defy the title of the "Best Green Car to Buy" awards by making the judges choose a total of four models, instead of a single vehicle. We saw awards distributed to the 2012 Toyota Prius, Toyota Prius v, Toyota Prius Plug-In, and Toyota Prius C, as they all took home the top honors. If this was not impressive enough, the last two models mentioned above aren't even set to be released until the spring of 2013!

While it would be easy to assume just because it is a Prius it was able to capture this award, we decided to look into it a little further. The family of vehicles was given the prestigious title of "Best Green Car to Buy" simply because of the incredible fuel economy that each model carries!

• The original Toyota Prius is able to achieve 50 mpg combined (51 city/48 highway).
• The all new Prius v, which provides more cargo space than 80 percent of small SUVs, was rated for 44 mpg city and 40 mpg highway.
  
• The Prius C boasts 50 mpg city, which is higher than any other non-plug-in model
  
• The Prius Plug-In Hybrid can get up to 87 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) when in electric mode and 49 mpg when in hybrid mode.

We believe this information is all you need to know to determine that Prius is truly the hybrid king. Of course, if you require first-hand proof of this notion, you could always arrange a test drive at 859 North Colony Rd, Wallingford, CT to see for yourself.

Toyota of Wallingford, a leading Connecticut Toyota dealer is excited to announce that the Prius line-up is expanding with three new models, one of which is the more spacious 2012 Toyota Prius v.

The battery powered Prius just got more appealing. With three new models expected to arrive this year, the Prius will offer even more versatility when it comes to available body styles and features. The 2012 Toyota Prius v, Prius c concept car, and the Prius plug-in hybrid will all retain the best qualities of the current Prius model while also appealing to more car shoppers with different automotive needs.

The new Prius v will be the first model available to Connecticut Toyota shoppers, as it is expected to hit showroom floors in the fall of 2011. The largest of the new Prius variations, the new 2012 Prius v offers ample space for passengers and cargo while still retaining an overall lightweight aerodynamic design that not only boasts a .29 coefficient of drag but also an eye-pleasing exterior reminiscent of a wagon.

Connecticut Toyota Fans Applaud Efficient Options

The Prius v is the perfect Prius for families or auto shoppers who just need the cargo space. This vehicle can comfortably seat 5 and averages 42mpg on the road, which is great news for Connecticut Toyota shoppers.

"The Prius v brings leading-edge hybrid technology to customers who need more room and provides more cargo space than 80 percent of all small SUVs," said Toyota Division Group Vice President and General Manager Bob Carter. "And because it's a Prius, it produces 66 percent fewer smog-forming emissions than the average new vehicle and will have the best mileage ratings of any SUV, crossover, or wagon sold in America. We think that's a win-win for everybody."

In addition, the new 2012 Toyota Prius v is available with top-notch technology features designed to keep everyone safe and entertained. One such feature is the Entune? multimedia system that not only has the ability to read text messages and reply with pre-created text responses but it is also connected to iheartradio's 750+ stations and Pandora's personalized music service.
