Toyota Unveils New Plug-In Hybrid Concept and Prius c at 2012 NA Auto Show

Sun Toyota, the leading Toyota dealership in Holiday, Florida, is pleased to announce that Toyota has debuted the NS4, an advanced plug-in hybrid concept vehicle, at the recent 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Toyota engineers were tasked with the challenge of designing a new mid-sized concept car that would be anticipated for global introduction by 2015.  Separate from the Pruis family, the NS4 concept, designed with future mobility necessities in mind, is a dedicated plug-in hybrid.

As mentioned by Jim Lentz, TMS president and CEO, the “NS4 demonstrates Toyota’s take on the human connection to the car with technology that considers both emotional and rational relationships, person-to-car and car-to-society.”

Also introduced at the auto show was Toyota’s Priuc C hybrid.  As the larger Prius V, stands for versatile, the “c” in the new Prius is synonymous with ‘city’; which is just what this new Toyota offers.  Lighter in weight, lower in height and a bit shorter in length than its predecessors, the new Prius c is modeled to nimbly maneuver any cityscape with responsive handling.   Featuring a 1.5L gas engine and a 144 volt nickel-metal hydrid battery, the c’s hybrid system boasts an output of 99hp.  Along with an estimated 53 mpg, it is also regarded with the highest city rate fuel efficiency of any car in the US.

Visit Sun Toyota , recently relocated at our new green LEED facility at 3001 US 19, in Holiday, Florida, to learn more about these new Toyota vehicles.  Feel free to also explore us online.  We offer a huge inventory of new and used Toyota cars where you save big with no dealer fee!  Schedule an appointment and drive home your dream Toyota car today.

Mother Earth’s New Car – Toyota Prius

Sun Toyota is pleased to introduce Mother Earth’s New Car, the environmentally and economically friendly Toyota Prius. With the changing environment, car buyers are growing more conscious and people are clamoring for hybrids. Being that as it may, Toyota is a natural choice because the car manufacturer is an industry leader in manufacturing such vehicles.

However, Toyota Prius is one such car that deserves special mention. The car boasts 95 percent customer satisfaction and ranks top in fuel efficiency. The car has also received IntelliChoice’s Best Overall Value of the Year award after competing with nearly 1,800 2011 models. In April 2011, Toyota announced 1 million cars had been sold in the US, while 3 million were sold worldwide, with the Prius hitting the maximum sales record. Toyota Prius, clearing a leading hybrid car so far, the company estimates it has saved 881 million gallons of gas and 12.4 million tons of carbon dioxide emission in US alone in its 11 years of existence.

Environment friendly is not the only plus point for Prius. The car woos its owners with sleek styling, advanced safety features, comfort, and an estimated mileage of 51 mpg in the city, 48 on the highway. The price starts at $23,500 which is pretty decent and the car easily holds five, has countless style options. Talking about technology, Prius tops the chart. The advanced navigation option is available with a rearview backup camera and parking assist mode that actually parks the vehicle without the driver having to steer. As an added bonus, certain models have a solar roof package that helps the car to cool the interior when the car is parked.

No wonder this car is loved by all who care for Mother Earth!
