The Future of Driving: The 2024 Toyota Prius

The original Prius helped spearhead the hybrid revolution with its debut in 1997. And almost thirty years later, the 2024 Toyota Prius continues to push the boundaries of what it means to drive. With plenty of space, zesty and nimble handling, and fuel economy that just might leave you speechless, this year’s Prius helps set the tone for the future of automobiles.

Gleefully Powerful

The era of the underpowered hybrid is long gone, and the 2024 Prius is here to prove it. With up to 196 horsepower and a 0-60 time as low as 7.0 seconds, this year’s Prius offers a joyful and spritely drive. The Prius’ looks have been sculpted to match the sporty experience, with aerodynamic lines, a low stance, and aggressive features marking this year’s edition as something special.

Massively Efficient

The 2024 Prius’ fuel efficiency stats are exceptional. Front-wheel drive variants offer up to a staggering 57 mpg combined (57 city / 56 highway), helping drivers not only save at the pump, but do a fantastic job of reducing their carbon footprint at the same time. While higher-level trims and all-wheel drive incur marginal hits to fuel consumption, even the least efficient Limited AWD trim offers an incredible 49 mpg combined, making every Prius an efficiency icon.

Excellence in the Interior

The inside of the 2024 Prius is plenty roomy for both passengers and cargo. Front-row riders enjoy over 43 inches of legroom, making it a great fit even for the tallest of drivers. And with up to 23.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity under the hatch, the Prius remains a cargo champion, offering plenty of room for bags, shopping purchases, and more.

Technology-Forward

The Prius remains a technology-focused vehicle. The driver’s Multi-Information Display is mounted above the steering column to be in the driver’s line of sight, and the center console infotainment screen is easy to access for both the driver and the passenger. Wireless support for Bluetooth technology, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto comes standard even on the entry-level LE trim, and an 8-speaker JBL premium audio package is available that will delight audiophiles.

Top-Tier Safety

With top marks for crashworthiness from both the IIHS and the NHTSA, the 2024 Prius is a tremendously safe car on the road. The Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 driver assist system comes standard, with a laundry list of features that make driving both easier and safer. Features like the Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, and Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection all help the Prius make the road a safer place for everyone to enjoy.

With outstanding efficiency, playful and powerful driving dynamics, and an impressive suite of safety specifications, the 2024 Prius continues to redefine what the automobile can do. Test drive your Prius today at Perry Motors Toyota in Bishop, CA.
