The New Prius has Three Driving Modes
Jul 8, 2009 By Toyota Australia.
In addition to driving Prius like a normal car, the hybrid system offers three new driver-controlled modes: EV (electric vehicle), ECO and Power mode.
In ECO, the throttle is managed for fuel economy and the air-conditioning is strictly controlled.
In EV, the vehicle stays in electric-only mode longer at lower speeds. The vehicle can operate up to about 50km/h for approximately 1-2km, depending on the state of charge.
POWER provides maximum acceleration response.
Third-generation Prius is built on a new platform with significant improvements to the MacPherson strut front and torsion beam rear suspension systems.
Handling, stability and ride comfort have been improved to deliver better driving dynamics.
