Powered by a Hybrid 4-cylinder engine, the Toyota Prius manages excellent fuel economy while offering seating for five and generous cargo space. It is not strong on performance, though.

The Toyota Prius is completely redesigned for 2004. The new Prius is larger and more roomy inside than before, with back seats that seat two adults and lots of cargo space. It's also more pleasant to look at with futuristic styling. Its highly efficient 1.5L 4-cylinder engine is rated at 60/51 mpg.
