2007 Toyota Prius Base Hatchback 4-door 1.5l on 2040-cars

Description

This is a smoke-free, single-owner Prius Hybrid primarily used for commuting to work (120 miles round trip, daily). Overall, this vehicle's exterior is clean, with minor dings and typical road wear. Front windshield was replaced with factory glass last year. The interior is clean and in good condition. The engine is running properly and has had regular fluid changes through its entire operating life. The transmission is smooth, the original battery package is still charging to maximum capacity without issues, and all power equipment is functioning properly. All factory recall maintenance has been kept up to date. The mileage represented is accurate and the drivetrain delivers a consistent 45MPG at average highway speed of 72MPH. Has been a trouble free, commuter car for many years, and with proper maintenance will operate well for several more!

Model Overview

The super-frugal Prius, with its Hybrid Synergy Drive, has sophisticated electric-drive componentry and a battery system that allows energy to be recovered from coasting and braking. In the Prius, a 76-horsepower, 1.5L four-cylinder Atkinson Cycle gasoline engine is paired with a 50-kilowatt electric drive motor. Together, the two produce 110 horsepower, delivered through a planetary-gear continuously variable transmission (CVT). As opposed to some other "mild hybrid" models, the Prius is a "full hybrid," meaning that the system 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.

The Prius is also certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (SULEV) and as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV). Inside, the Prius is considerably roomier than you might expect given its compact exterior dimensions and aerodynamic five-door lift back 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 standard equipped with air conditioning, a six-speaker CD sound system, cruise control, heated power side mirrors, and power windows and locks. 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.

Options include a Smart Key entry/ignition system, an auxiliary audio input jack, MP3/WMA playback capability, Vehicle stability control (VSC), and a backup camera integrated into the instrument panel.
