Toyota Prius

In technical terms, the first restyling of the fourth generation Toyota Prius did not make any special changes. Basic versions, as before, are equipped with a 1.8-liter gasoline internal combustion engine with 98 horses and 142 Nm of torque, two electric motors (only one traction), a CVT as a transmission and front-wheel drive. From now on, for an additional fee, you can order a model with an all-wheel drive system. An additional electric motor drives the wheels of the rear axle. It develops only 7 horsepower, has an air-cooled inverter and a high-ratio gearbox. It operates at start-up speeds of up to 10 kilometers per hour, but, if necessary, it can operate up to a speed of 70 km/h. It is noteworthy that versions with all-wheel drive will receive a lithium-ion and a nickel-metal hydride traction battery. Although it is inferior in many respects, it tolerates cold better, which is especially important in snowy regions, which is what this version is aimed at.
