When Toyota added an all-wheel-drive version to the 2019 lineup of Prius, the vehicle got the final appeal to earn more trust from the shoppers all over the world. Though the front-wheel-drive model was extremely efficient, its jaw dropping 50-mpg EPA rating in a combined drive with loads of other significant features kept it stand ahead of all its rivals for this year.
What the 2019 Lineup Beholds
Our visit at the Mountain Home Toyota dealer initiated our exploration with the 2019 lineup of the Toyota Prius and all the trims, the L Eco, LE, XLE, and Limited had their own share of premium features to boast. The new all-wheel-drive model, named as AWD-e, can be availed with the LE and Limited models.
The first time you look at any 2019 Prius will make you realize the difference from its prior generations, as the new 2019 year model of Prius lies much lower in height but broader, with a sharpened beak pecking your eyes while multiple lines travel through its body to distract your mind. The liftback that rises higher towards the smart rear end, can still boast of its split rear window that can never be ignored by any onlooker.
Features for Comfort
As you step inside, the plush cabin of the 2019 Prius will instantly mesmerize you with its sharp color blends, and then it is the gigantic 11.6-inch touchscreen that will capture your attention for time indefinite. To be precise, the 2019 Toyota Prius is good for four adults, while the massive 27 cubic feet of cargo room raises the bar of comfort.
Powertrain Features
Running on a 1.8-liter inline-4 engine in combination with an electric motor, the hybrid combo battery spins out 121 of horsepower. But the ride in a Prius will always be leisurely, to strike a balance between the city road drives and with highway speed it can take. The all-wheel-drive version has been added with two small motors placed near the rear wheels to gain better traction.
