The perfect family car must check a lot of boxes. It must be reliable, safe, and entertaining. Added comfort is also a nice bonus as parents carpool their kids from activity to activity. Check out a few of the features that make the 2018 Toyota Prius a great family car.
Reliability
ToyotaCare is offered on the purchase of all new Prius vehicles for up to three years after purchase or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. This feature offers a no-cost preventative maintenance plan and 24-hour roadside assistance. No-cost maintenance includes tire rotations, engine oil replacements, a multi-point inspection, and inspection of all fluid levels. Enjoy the reliable peace of mind as you sit in the carpool lane or head out on a weekend adventure.
Safety
Safety is the main priority for many families when choosing a family car. The Toyota Prius now comes standard with the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) package. This package of safety features includes lane departure alert with steering assist, full-speed-range dynamic radar cruise control, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams.
Additional available safety features on the Toyota Prius include a blind spot monitor rear cross-traffic alert, an integrated backup camera, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Toyota Prius drivers will also enjoy the standard Star Safety System, which comes with vehicle stability control, traction control, an anti-lock brake system, brake assist, electronic brake force distribution, and smart stop technology.
Entertainment
Keep passengers entertained so you can enjoy a quiet commute. The available 11.6-inch touch-screen driver infotainment system enables you to stream favorite playlists or podcasts. You can also identify local points of interest and then stream turn-by-turn navigation to them. The Qi-compatible charging system keeps everyone’s smartphones charged on even the longest of commutes. Bring along your favorite road trip gear with an available 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space.
Comfort
The modern interior of the Toyota Prius will keep you and your passengers comfortable. Comfort starts on the outside with a tightened suspension system and noise barriers that keep external noises out. The front seats are driver-inspired with eight-way power adjustments and power lumbar support. The available moonroof gives you a sense of the outdoors, even when you’re stuck in traffic. With the smart flow climate control, each passenger can choose his or her ideal interior temperature.
Efficiency
Not only does the 2018 Toyota Prius meet all the needs of the traditional family, but it’s also efficient. This means fewer trips to the gas station to fill up and fewer dollars coming out of your pocket. The 4.2-inch color multi-information display system displays current driving statistics while also offering tips for improvement. The hybrid synergy drive of the Toyota Prius has made it one of the most efficient cars on the road.
The Toyota Prius checks all the boxes of a family car. It also offers so much more in terms of technology and comfort. Come by Rick McGill’s Airport Toyota today with the family to check out this great family car.
