The Planet's Favourite Hybrid:When the Prius was born at the dawn of the 21st century, it combined the power of an engine and a motor in the world's first mass production hybrid car. Much more than delivering exceptional fuel efficiency, it shaped a revolution in various ways including advanced design and powerful driving performance, and received great acclaim around the world. The Prius anticipated and answered the needs of an environment-conscience world, shaping a new direction for what is possible, and setting the benchmarks for cars of the future.
