Toyota Prius Specifications
Standard equipment includes ABS brakes, thermostat-controlled air conditioning, power windows, door locks and mirrors, an cassette stereo, an eight-year/100,000-mile battery and hybrid-related component warranty, roadside assistance and three-year basic maintenance programs.
Prius’ primary power is provided by an all-aluminum 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a peak 70 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and peak torque of 82 lb./ft. at 4,200 rpm. Variable valve timing maximizes efficiency. The gas tank has a plastic bladder which reduces gasoline vapors. The American also has a more powerful, more compact, and lighter main battery pack. The pack is 30 percent lighter in weight than the units in the first-generation Prius. The new lighter batteries reduce battery pack volume by 60 percent and allow for more cargo area in the trunk.
The electric drive motor is a permanent-magnet design that requires little maintenance as its internal componentry never wears. It produces its maximum power of 33 kW (44 horsepower) from 1,040-5,600 rpm, and maximum torque of 350 N-m (258 lb./ft.) from 0-400 rpm.
In addition to increased horsepower, the U.S. model Prius is equipped with a Toyota hydrocarbon (HC) absorber and catalyst (HCAC) system for reduced exhaust emissions.
The engine can only rev to 4,000 rpm, so that the internal parts can be smaller and lighter, and to reduce friction loss.
