2017 Toyota Prius First Drive Review

By Vikrant Singh25 May 2017

This is the new generation of the car that became famous by being the pet of Hollywood and the butt of most motoring jokes. And now, the Indian government has pulled a fast one on it too! This is the latest version of the Toyota Prius, a car that single-handedly put hybrids on the global map. Now hybrids are nicer to the environment compared to your regular petrol or diesel powered cars because these are more fuel-efficient. And therefore logic dictates that these should be made more accessible through tax rebates.
