2017 Toyota Prius v

The 2017 Toyota Prius V is filled with features and touches that make your life and your drive that much more convenient and fun. Sumptuous SofTex seats feel like real buttery smooth leather without the emissions and production waste. Choose the 8-way adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support to keep your back healthy and limber on long rides, as well as the heated front seats for coziness on the chilliest rides. The rear seats recline and slide so you’ll be able to customize the inside of the Prius to your passenger’s needs. The seats fold down as well, meaning that you’ll be able to store up to 34.3 cubic feet of cargo in the Prius’s trunk or hatchback. You’ll have options for hidden compartments and under-floor storage so you can stow your gear, too! Finally, the panoramic moonroof lets in the natural light and fresh air for you and your passengers.

The 2017 Prius V is jam-packed with the latest technology that makes life more convenient and pleasant for you. The Smart Key system uses a remote proximity sensing key fob, meaning that you’ll be able to put your fob in your bag or pocket and your Prius will automatically lock, unlock, and start with the push of a button once you’re inside. Inside, the Entune App Suite brings you the apps you want on your in-vehicle computer, letting you listen to your favorite music, check social media, reserve dinner or movie tickets, and more. Upgrade your Entune, and you’ll get options like integrated navigation with a 6-inch touch screen display and Siri Eyes Free for voice commands, not to mention the premium JBL audio system. The navigation program even gives you predictive traffic and weather information along with your turn-by-turn directions.

The 2017 Prius V features a powerful and eco-efficient drivetrain that gets you where you want to go around Hilton Head Island easily. The gasoline engine is a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that uses a dual overhead cam shaft and variable valve timing with intelligence to get up to 98 hp and 105 lb-ft of torque, paired with a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor and sealed nickel-metal hydride battery that produces 80 hp and 153 lb-ft of torque, with the entire system producing up to 134 hp at a time. The powertrain uses an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission to adjust the clutch constantly, getting up to 43 mpg highway.

The hybrid system comes with unique gauges that help you get the most out of your Prius. The hybrid system indicator shows you the efficiency of your driving style, teaching you how to brake and accelerate so you conserve the maximum amount of energy possible. The energy monitor screen shows you how much energy you’re charging up or expending in real time, while the ECO score shows you how efficiently you’re driving while stopping, starting, and cruising.

The 2017 Toyota Prius V is loaded with options and features that make you a more aware and alert driver. The dynamic radar cruise control automatically adjusts your Prius’s speed to help you keep a safe following distance from the cars ahead, while the pre-collision system uses a laser radar and camera to alert you to potential collisions and applies the brakes if necessary to help you keep safe in case of a crash. The lane departure alert system uses a camera sensor to detect lane markings, and lets you know when you’re drifting over the center line. Auto high beams use a camera to detect headlights from vehicles up ahead and switches between high beams and low beams for better all around visibility. Finally, the Safety Connect system means that emergency assistance, roadside assistance, and more is just a push of the button away!
