When it comes to enhancing fuel-efficiency and adding more environmentally friendly engineering features, the Toyota Prius has always been a consistent frontrunner. Throughout its history, this Toyota hybrid has produced several off-shoot models that service the individual needs of drivers everywhere. One particular model that takes the already amazing fuel-efficiency of the Toyota Prius to the next level is the Clermont Toyota Prius Prime plug-in hybrid. This Toyota hybrid uses plug-in technology to charge the electric drivetrain and allow for fully electric (EV) driving modes that save you gas and help reduce the production of harmful emissions. If you're unfamiliar with how plug-in Toyota hybrids work or what the unique features of the Prius Prime are, don't worry! Toyota of Clermont is here with a helpful guide on this unique type of vehicle and what you can expect to find is this new model year Prius. What is a Plug-In Hybrid? Hybrid vehicles come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and with different feature options to maximize the overall driving experience. In Toyota's lineup, the Clermont Toyota Prius began the wave of hybrid technology and the lineup has since evolved to include hybrid options for the Highlander, Camry, Corolla, RAV4, and more! Vehicles that use a Toyota hybrid drivetrain use an electrical system in conjunction with an internal combustion engine to reduce the overall use of gasoline power and create less harmful emissions. The electric drivetrain is typically small and most vehicles don't use EV specific modes. Plug-in Toyota hybrids use a different type of electrical system that involves the use of a rechargeable battery that benefits from being plugged in. Here are a few features unique to plug-in hybrids: Vehicles of this type recharge their electrical drivetrains by use of a typical electrical outlet or a public quick charger. This charges the battery pack directly and stores excess power to be used while driving. Unlike most typical hybrids, Clermont Toyota plug-in hybrids can run on a full EV mode that uses strictly electrical power for a short time before resorting to using the smaller internal combustion engine. The New Toyota Prius Prime The Clermont Toyota hybrid Prius Prime is designed to maximize the fuel efficient features of the original Prius by incorporating a larger storage capacity battery that charges using plug-in technology. Here are a few of the amazing features that come with this stylish new hybrid: Six paint color options like Magnetic Gray Metallic, Titanium Glow, Classic Silver Metallic, Blizzard Pearl, Hypersonic Red, and Blue Magnetism. A starting MSRP of $27, 350 and three trim levels including Plus, Premium, and Advanced. A different exterior styling than the regular Clermont Toyota Prius by using more pronounced lines and sporty accents. A total estimated driving range of 640 miles and 133 MPGe (electric MPG) with 54 combined MPG. Plus an estimated 25-mile EV range. An available 11.6-inch HD multimedia display keeps things simple and connected during your commute.

When it comes to buying a first car - whether it's your first vehicle purchase or you're looking for a drive time solution for your new teen driver - there are a lot of options to consider.

First, let's talk about the price - the 2019 Toyota Yaris starts out at just $15,450. This means it's super-affordable for you OR your teen driver, but since 80% of all Toyotas are still out on the road 20 years later, you can also count on a lifetime of performance from it. It's also exceptionally fuel-efficient, getting 30/39 mpg to ensure that your stops at the pump will be few and far between and when you do have to stop, it won't cost an arm and a leg to fill the tank. What else makes this Clermont Toyota such a great purchase for first-time buyers? Here are some of the other things we love about the 2019 Toyota Yaris: Safety tech is on point. You can rest easy whether you or your new teen driver will be behind the wheel. You'll have features like a low-speed pre-collision system, an Advanced Airbag System with 6 airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, and 3-point seatbelts for all seating positions.
