Toyota Prius Prime is the 2017 Kelley Blue Book Electric Hybrid Best Buy

The results of these awards symbolize a year-long evaluation process. This means that during this process KBB editors look at more than 300 new vehicles that are available in the U.S. market. Editors from Kelley Blue Book limited the field to 12 major vehicle categories. Finally, they decide who the winners are. This is a long process of evaluation because it is necessary to evaluate nearly every new vehicle that is available in the U.S.

The Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards are designed to supply a meaningful service to new-car buyers. It helps them identify the cream of the crop of all available 2017 model-year vehicles. It also provides buyers with the information that is necessary in order to be well informed when choosing a car.

Toyota Prius Prime has so much to offer, considering that is ranked as the most effective vehicle in America because of its 133 MPGe rating, higher than any electric car available. The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime sets a new standard for the competitive hybrid market and doing what no hybrid has done before. This vehicle brings 640 miles total full charge, full tank driving distance, 25 miles with pure electric distance. Having all these qualities together with an attractive design, low ownership costs, there is no doubt about why Toyota Prius Prime was selected as the Electric/Hybrid Best Buy of 2017.

“When we set out to build the 2017 Prius Prime, we wanted to deliver a car that would live up to the idea of the word ‘Prime,’ – a plug-in hybrid vehicle with no compromises. With the new Prius Prime, Toyota has delivered the most efficient car in America and we are thrilled to receive the Electric/Hybrid Best Buy Award from Kelley Blue Book,” said Nathan Kokes, advanced technology vehicle manager, Toyota Motor Sales, Inc., U.S.A.
