What is the best hybrid car on the market? Well, most hybrid car owners will tell you that the best hybrid is the one that they drive. The Toyota Prius would have to be the choice for the most compact, yet still stylish, hybrid car.

The 2010 Toyota Prius occupies 4 of 24 medium-sized affordable cars. It’s a huge improvement over the outgoing model. Not only is the interior vastly improved, the car gets even better mileage: It’s now rated at 51/48 mpg city/highway, 50 mpg combined. Both the electric motor and gasoline engine is improved. It also shares the hood bulge like other Toyota sedans, and lost the horizontal bar through the back window that interfered with visibility in the previous edition.

The new Prius might look similar to the outgoing version, still distinctive with its five-door coupe side profile and steeply raked front and rear sections. Although the size, specification and performance have increased, prices have changed very little. Expensive, but residual values are high, so it makes the most expensive initial purchase price.

A clean, futuristic dashboard serves as a simple difference of sample complexity aboard the Toyota Prius, and large windows provide great visibility everywhere. Style in the 2009 Toyota Prius once considered radical, but it became unimaginative and best Hybrid car.
