Ok so Toyota has got me thinking, I am already biased against the Prius, but i never really stopped to look at the figures.
I decided to investigate this a bit more: The official fuel figures and price: (sources Drive.com.au & Toyota Australia) Prius: (according to govt tests) 4.6 L/100 $46,900 ($7.82/100km) Yaris: 6.1 L/100km, ULP. $22,290 ($10.37/100km) Corolla: fuel economy of 7.4 litres/100km $27,500 ($12.58/100km) I have based my calculations on an unleaded fuel price of $1.70 and top price as listed on the Toyota website. The difference in price between the Prius and Yaris is $24,610 and Corolla is $19,400 So theres more calculations that can be done..buggered if i can think of them though, but just from these figures the Prius doesn't look that convincing and this is just against Toyota's own models. |
