Toyota Prius
The Toyota Prius has shed its reputation as a boring car with weird looks. More attractive, more powerful (196 hp) and more agile than its predecessors, the latest generation bridges the gap between the Corolla Hybrid and Camry. More luxurious than the former, but not as roomy as the latter, it comes standard with all-wheel drive and achieves 4.8 L/100 km. Not all drivers appreciate the Prius’ ergonomics, particularly the instrument cluster near the base of the windshield.
