Del Toyota’s Prius Makes KBB.com's Best Green Cars for 2011 List

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- Del Toyota, a metro Philadelphia Toyota dealer, is proud to announce that the Toyota Prius has made KBB.com’s Best Green Cars list for 2011.

Competition for this year’s list was tough, according to KBB.com editors. “As the consideration process wore on, we in the kbb.com editorial department were confronted with the fact that, in terms of Green Cars, there are more good choices than ever before.” Kbb.com said. “And while that might make our job of choosing a Top 10 a bit tougher, it is nothing but a positive for all of you who are considering an environmentally friendly car these days.”

The Toyota Prius Hybrid, still the heavy weight champion for the most miles per gallon, offers an EPA-estimated city/highway fuel economy rating of 51/48 MPG. With its quiet electric motor and gasoline engine, the Toyota Prius has “EV”, “Eco”, and “Power” modes to help control fuel consumption and throttle response. When the “EV” button depresses, the Prius operates solely under electric power Under the “Power” button, the Prius offers a lively throttle response with acceleration similar to a regular gas powered four-cylinder vehicle. “Eco” mode modifies the throttle response so that the vehicle does not rapidly accelerate. Additionally, the air conditioning shuts off during the “Eco” mode when the vehicle is left idling to conserve energy. Whether it’s under “Eco” mode or “EV” mode, the 2011 Toyota Prius delivers fuel economy numbers that surpass posted EPA figures without any effort.
