Plug-in Prius in leasing phase with sales to start in 2011

January 18, 2010 Featured, NJ Toyota dealer, New Jersey Toyota Cars No Comments

The day has finally come: hybrid fans will soon have the chance to get their hands on a lithium battery-powered plug-in version of the Toyota Prius, after much talk surrounding the vehicle’s limited release last year. The plug-in version of the Prius will be available for lease in 2010 to a very select (and very lucky) few. Toyota has just announced that they plan to make the vehicle available for purchase in 2011, and then you will be able to find them at Hudson Toyota, your Newark new Toyota dealer.

This new plug-in version of the Prius will allow drivers to run up to 14.5 miles on battery power only. Once the battery power has been depleted, the car will begin functioning like a regular Prius and rely on gasoline partially to power the vehicle. Toyota is reporting that the plug-in Prius could drive as many as 870 miles on a fully charged battery and a full tank of gas.

Although the highly coveted cars will be available for lease in 2010, only a few will make their way to the states. Approximately 150 of the 600 vehicles available for lease will be available in the United States this year.

Toyota plans to use these leased vehicles to collect data and gain insight over the next year in order to improve performance before releasing the vehicles for sale in 2011. With so much research and so many drivers testing the plug-in Prius vehicles all over the world, you won’t have to worry about plug-in parts until the new Prius version is released for sale next year, but you can always find Staten Island Toyota auto parts at Hudson Toyota, your Staten Island and Newark new Toyota dealer.

It’s been said that the leased vehicles will only be available to universities, corporations and government agencies. Contact Hudson Toyota, your Newark new Toyota dealer, and the place to find Staten Island used Toyota cars, to find out more about leasing and when you can get your hands on a plug-in Prius in 2011. If you need service or auto parts, Staten Island Toyota dealer Hudson Toyota has the best service and parts departments around.

    I went to buy a 2010 Rav 4. The sales representatives were very friendly and were ready to work with my budget and credit score range. there is nothing as satisfying as having a dealer to be able to LISTEN and ask HOW CAN WE MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BUY THE VEHICLE THAT YOU WANT. It took some consultations and couple of changes here and there. But at the […]

    AWESOME Experience! If you are looking for a Toyota buy it here. We worked with other dealers before this one and we were not treated like this. We stumbled on this dealership because they had a car in the color I really wanted. We started talking with these folks and in half a day got the car I wanted, in the color I wanted, with the dealer installed option […]

    I bought a pre-owned 1998 Toyota Tacoma from Hudson Toyota. I was only buying a "cheap" vehicle but was treated like gold. The salesman sent me a thank you note and I also received many follow up calls from him to make sure I was satisfied with my purchase. Great service and I would definitely buy from them again and recommend to friends and family […]
