If comfort, space and low running costs are high on your list of priorities for your next drive, look no further than the popular Toyota Prius Hatchback.
Every Prius Hatchback has a petrol engine and an electric motor, so it's defined as a hybrid. There's also a feature called regenerative braking. This transfers energy that would be wasted when you brake back into the battery to give you an improved charge level think clever physics.
There's also a plug-in hybrid that can be charged from mains electricity. Toyota quotes this version as having an electric-only range of 34 miles perfectly fine for shorter town trips. Just as you should do when choosing any car, it's important to consider what set-up, engine and trim are the best choices for your driving style and needs.
Toyota does most things exceptionally well and their car interiors are always impressive. Climb into the Prius Hatchback's interior and you'll instantly feel a sense of quality and good craftsmanship. The fabrics and trims look good and it's obviously built solidly from high-end materials. Everything on the uniquely designed dashboard is intuitively laid out and just where you need it to be for maximum comfort and minimum distraction during driving.
Another real positive with the Prius Hatchback is the amount of space inside. There's lots of both legroom and headroom in the front and back, even for taller drivers and passengers. The boot's big too with a square design and good access that makes loading up a doddle.
As with all Toyotas, the Prius Hatchback has a raft of innovative safety features and also achieved a full five-star rating in crash tests with Euro NCAP.
