Cash incentives, longer warranties and of course some repeated promises are what Toyota is offering up to their customers in order to get their trust back.  While it might not be all Toyota’s fault, they still need to work on building that trust back up.

If you are looking to buy a new car and might be interested in a Toyota, make sure you find out about the incentives that they are offering up!

The 2010 Toyota Prius, however, has outdone itself, and will undoubtedly please those drivers who prefer the convenience and the power associated with traditional gasoline driven cars. Both the car’s gasoline engine and its electric engine have been powered up even higher, making for speedier acceleration, among other things.

With the competition among hybrid cars getting more and more intense, Toyota is seriously hoping that the new Prius will continue pleasing. After all, it looks like Toyota will be competing head to head with GM’s new Chevy Volt.

Hopefully, the 1.8 liter inline four cylinder engine purring under the new model’s hood will be enough to make it come out on top.

Japanese manufacturer Toyota boast of the new Urban Cruiser as the 4×4 vehicle to achieve the lowest CO2 emission in the world. The new engine design paved the way for more power but at the same time making the vehicle more fuel efficient and less harmful to the environment. The CO2 emission is plotted at 130g/km for the 1.4 D-4D variant which is an all wheel drive vehicle.

The new Toyota Cruiser is designed on the Toyota Optimal Drive platform. The vehicle follows the engine built of its siblings, the Auris and Yaris, with the new Dual VVT-I 1.33 power plant. It is also equipped with a Stop and Start system.

The Start and Stop system turns off the engine when the vehicle comes to a stop. The driver will put the gear to neutral and then release the clutch. The engine will automatically be back on once the driver steps on the clutch to select the gear.

The 1.4 D Diesel engine is exclusively released for the all-wheel drive. This power train is equipped with piezoelectric technology which contributes to a 130 g/km of CO2 emission. This is the lowest reading for an AWD vehicle anywhere in the world.

The piezoekectric fuel injection system allows for the more efficient supply of fuel via multiple injections which makes the car more fuel efficient and environment friendly. This engine still delivers the much needed power at 89 bho at around 3800 rpm.

Both engine options for the Toyota cruiser come with a newly designed six speed manual transmission.

Experts say that Toyota’s move of cutting back the price of Prius is actually a counter move for competitor Honda Motors newest Insight hybrid car. The latter’s hybrid vehicle is set to be released by February of this year.

According to a report in The Nikkei, Toyota plans to cut back the price of the current Prius because the new model would cost a lot more than its predecessor. According to the Japanese company, the new Prius will boast of a 1.8 liter engine-an innovation from the original 1.5 liter of the present model.

With the said upgrade of the engine capacity, the new Prius is expected to improve fuel efficiency by an approximate of 10% 36 kilometer per liter. Insiders said that the said feature is also the reason why the new Prius will be offered at around 2.5 million Yen.

Toyota Motors has recently announced that the new Prius is targeted at clients coming from the corporate level.

The sale of the present Prius will also be limited once the new version is out in the market. As of press time, Toyota plans to distribute the new version to all of its four major channels. The current Prius, on the other hand, will only be made available to its two major depots.
