Toyota may have built one of the ugliest cars on the
road with the 2017 Prius. The car looks good from the sides, but the bizarre
front and rear ends leave the car funky looking to most eyes. The goods news is
that the Prius still gets fantastic fuel economy and that is enough for Prius
loyalists to continue buying.
Toyota has given the Prius buyers out there even
more reason to purchase with a price cut for the 2017 base model Prius. We can
thank Hyundai’s attractive Ioniq for putting pressure on Toyota. The Prius One
is a new trim level that starts at US$ 24,360. That still makes the funky Prius a
lot more costly to purchase than a base Hyundai Ioniq Blue.
That car starts at US$ 23,035 making it still US$ 1325
cheaper than the new Prius One. The Prius One is also higher priced than the
Kia Niro that starts at US$ 23,785. Prius One gets automatic climate control,
cruise, backup camera, forward collision warning and lane departure. Prius One
buyers don’t get a spare tire, rear wiper, or seat back pockets.
