Toyota is a pioneer in minding the environment and producing hybrid technology. From the very first Prius launched in North America in the years 2000 to today, this model has sold more than 10 million units in over 80 countries around the world. There is a reason why Toyota sits comfortably on the top of hybrids prize lists. At your Toyota St-Jerome car dealer, near the Laurentians and Laval, we know something about it. Year after year, one occasion after the other, our clientele keeps asking for hybrid cars.

Come in our showroom and discover the all-new 2019 Prius AWD-e born following a thorough overhaul of the vehicle. This is the Toyota opportunity of the best price. In addition to its comfort and elegance, the 2019 Prius offers an optional Electric AWD. What does this new traction mean? First, an Electric AWD is more energy efficient. In the case of the 2019 Prius, we are talking about a combined consumption of 4.7L/100 km. Furthermore, with this new traction, you will have a sense of increased safety and a better driver-side traction. This traction is great and requires no central differential, torque distribution device or forward/reverse drive shaft. This Prius uses an independent electric engine without magnet, a first at Toyota Canada, which then drives the rear wheels from 0 to 10 km/h and then, when the situation requires, up to 70 km/h. This new system therefore provides the rear wheels with the power required during start-up, departure and shutdown. But even more exciting is that this system recognizes when AWD is not required, which saves fuel. At Toyota, it is already thought that this AWD will be part of 65% of all future Prius sales.
 

On the other hand, it’s necessary to underline the Japanese ingenuity, which presents the 2019 Prius AWD-e in base, technological with improved group versions. In addition, the Prius will be marketed in two new colors, Supersonic Red and Blue Electric Storm. Interestingly, this Prius will also use a new nickel-metal-hybrid battery (Ni-MH) that’s more compact than the previous one in order to provide excellent performance in winter. This battery is installed under the rear seat of the vehicle in order to not to affect the cargo space.

Like all other versions of this model, the Prius AWD-e benefits from the synergetic hybrid system. It also combines a 1.8-liter, 4-cylinder engine, and two electric motors-generators with continuously variable transmission. One couldn’t help but notice that this Prius is powerful and quiet. It also meets high standards in terms of environment-friendliness and quality.
 

The size of these hybrid vehicles remains unchanged and its load capacity is 1855 liters when the rear seat backs are folded in their 60/40 form. To make a nod to environmentalists, the Prius can be delivered with rear crossbars, allowing you to facilitate the transportation of larger accessories such as bikes, snowboards, kayaks, etc.

The interior of the Prius is spacious. Its cabin is a testimony to it, as well as its characteristics of comfort and elegance. Heated front seats, tilting and telescoping heated steering wheel, automatic climate control, etc. On the steering wheel, you'll enjoy unmatched ergonomics with a range of easy-to-access and safe driving buttons. This Toyota also features a multifunction display and Bluetooth hands-free phone.
 

Finally, all Prius receive a push-button start with keyless entry system and remote welcome lighting. The more advanced versions benefit from the three-door Smart Key system and an adaptive lighting system. In the Technology Plus version, the color head-up display is available by displaying the speedometer, navigation and hybrid field indicator.
