2007 Prius Model Overview The super-frugal Prius, with its Hybrid Synergy Drive, has a sophisticated electric-drive system and a battery system that allows energy to be recovered from coasting and braking. It has a 76-horsepower, 1.5L four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine and is paired with a 50-kilowatt electric drive motor. Together, the two produce 110 horsepower, delivered through a planetary-gear continuously variable transmission (CVT). The Prius has a system that not only turns the gasoline engine off when it's not needed; it also has the capability to run at low speeds on electric power alone for short distances. The system enables the Prius to get one of the best fuel-efficiency ratings ever--60 city, 51 highway, according to the EPA. Prius is also certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) and as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV), it may qualify for carpool lane privileges depending on the locality. Inside, the Prius is considerably roomier than you might expect given its compact exterior dimensions and aerodynamic five-door liftback shape, but with 96.2 cubic feet of passenger room it's classified as a mid-size car. The Prius has room for five, with a roomy back seat and 14.4 cubic feet of cargo space. Rear seatbacks can be folded forward for expanded cargo capacity. The instrument panel is especially attention-getting, with a display screen that monitors the hybrid system and a small fingertip shift lever replacing a conventional shift knob. The Prius comes equipped as well as most other frugal sedans. Air conditioning with cabin filtration, a six-speaker sound system, cruise control and power windows and locks are standard. It is equipped with a back-up camera, also. The Prius has a Smart Key entry/ignition system, an upgraded Kenwood audio system that includes nine speakers, a USB port, and MP3 capability. It also has a hand held Kenwood controller. The Kenwood display changes colors automatically. This Prius has 16-inch alloy wheels. Anti-lock brakes with brake assist are standard, as are front seat-mounted side air bags, along with side-curtain bags for all outboard occupants. When I bought the car I was told that the previous owner had replaced the battery. I tried to verify this with that person but after numerous attempts to reach that person no reply was ever made to my inquiries. When I bought the car it had approximately 99,377 miles on it but when I tried to list the car the listing would not accept the actual mileage of 170,088 miles (now 170,190 short trip to the mountains plus 2 miles a day for a Wendy's run) but it would accept the ridiculously low 20 miles. We are selling the car because we have bought another Prius and we don't need three cars.
