Over the past few years, hybrid and electric cars have constantly grown in popularity. A pioneer of the industry, Prius has always been popular with environmentally-conscious drivers and continues to be a big hit today, more than 20 years after the first model was launched. Qualities such as comfort, fuel efficiency, technology, and safety all make the 2019 Prius c the perfect car for commuters everywhere. 
Excellent Fuel Efficiency
Aside for lessening the burden on the environment, 2019 Prius c’s hybrid technology has another major upside: it is very fuel-efficient. Its conventional gasoline engine works together with the battery to combine for a decent 99 horsepower, more than enough for city traffic and everyday commute. EPA ratings show that the Prius can drive up to 48 miles with a single gallon of gas, an excellent range for a car this spacious.
Comfort and Technology
Although gas consumption is significantly lower than similarly-sized and even smaller gas-powered cars, the Prius c is also big enough to comfortably fit four adults. It’s also very pleasant to drive around town or on longer commutes, due to its great drivability, solid braking, and responsive steering. Although it’s equipped with low rolling resistance tires for extra efficiency, the Prius c manages to cancel out exterior noise and vibration.
Although it’s a compact car, you wouldn’t know it by just looking at the interior. The seats are comfortable and the space inside doesn’t feel cramped, even when it’s full. The 17.1 cubic feet behind the seats are more than enough for things like groceries and even a very large suitcase. If you don’t need the passenger space, the two back seats fold, making way for an impressive cargo space.
Technology-wise, the 2019 Prius c has everything you’d expect from a modern vehicle. The 6.1-inch touch screen is very intuitive and easy to use with the help of Toyota’s smartphone integration software, Entune. It can connect with apps such as Facebook, Pandora, or Yelp, giving you information on the go. It also supports Bluetooth and USB connectivity and can be controlled via voice command, so you never have to take your eyes off the road when you’re commuting. The audio system is fitted with four crisp-sounding speakers and can be upgraded to six.
Safety Features
Any commuter will tell you that safety technology is a crucial component of any car. Toyota understands that and the 2019 Prius C comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense active safety package. It includes a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection that prompts you when a collision is imminent and even automatically applies the brakes to avoid it. Lane departure alert is also available to let you know if you’re drifting out of your lane, as well as automatic high beams for better night vision.
The Prius has always been a popular choice with environmentally-conscious commuters and the 2019 Prius c is a perfect example of that eco-awareness. Incredibly great mileage, modern technology, and advanced standard safety systems make it the ideal car for anyone relying on it for regular commutes.
