Go Green in Baton Rouge with the 2015 Toyota Prius

Toyota Prius changed the world 14 years ago by bringing hybrid cars to the mainstream. Prius is now a modern-day icon, and its Hybrid Synergy Drive^® remains innovative, dependable and loved by those that own them around the globe and in Baton Rouge, LA. That’s a big reason why 95% of all Toyota Prius models sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today [1].

More is Merrier

The liftback design of the 2015 Prius at Team Toyota in Baton Rouge opens wide to meet all of your cargo needs. Whether it’s a quick run to the grocery store or a trip to the home improvement center, the all-new Toyota Prius has a surprising amount of room that allows you to handle the necessities of life in Baton Rouge. Even with the rear seats up, the 2015 Prius offers 21.6 cubic feet of cargo capacity [2]. Opt to have the 60/40 split rear seat folded flat and you’ll have access to almost 40 cubic feet to store all of your stuff. In addition to the spacious main cargo area, the all-new 2015 Prius also offers under-floor storage and side panel storage that can hold smaller items, and it comes with a cargo area tonneau cover that will help to keep all of your belongings safely out of view.

Keep Track While Traveling

The energy monitor on the new 2015 Toyota Prius indicates the operation of both the engine and hybrid system in real time. The innovative Hybrid Synergy Drive^® will always employ the most efficient source of power when possible. Prius owners typically don’t want to use more fuel than they have to. Thanks to the Multi-Information Display, you’ll be able to monitor the gas mileage of your all-new Prius with an instantaneous readout of your current mpg, along with your average historical mpg over time! For those that want to be even more cost-efficient when traversing across South Louisiana, ECO Savings Record uses a small in-dash screen that allows you to measure the efficiency of your Prius to another vehicle. Simply plug in the mileage from a previous car (or of a friend’s car) and the price of gas, and your 2015 Prius will produce your monthly savings amount.

Legendary Prius Performance

The new 2015 Prius can start moving at lower speeds by using only the electric motor (that means no gasoline required). As you continue to drive along, the computer in the Prius will automatically switch from electric to gas, or use a combination of the two, in order to produce the most fuel-efficient Baton Rouge drive possible. Contrary to popular opinion, eco-sensitive driving doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice vehicle performance. The new Prius has the power you need to pass, merge onto the Louisiana interstates and more. During full acceleration, Prius uses its gasoline engine while the battery supplies increased drive power to the electric motor. When your Prius comes to a stop, its gasoline engine shuts off in order to conserve fuel and reduce vehicle emissions. Pressing the gas pedal lightly will move Prius using only electricity, while applying more pressure will automatically start the gas engine to provide more power.
