In a move expected to challenge the Chevy Volt, Toyota is about to introduce a new 107mpg plug-in hybrid version of the Toyota Prius at the auto show in Frankfurt, Germany next month.
Toyota says the car will be the cleanest and most technically advanced Prius built to date, featuring a newly designed, compact lithium-ion battery that enables the plug-in Prius to achieve a remarkably low fuel consumption rating of 2.2 liters per 100 kilometers (107 miles per gallon U.S.) and CO2 emissions of just 49 grams per kilometer.
The Prius plug-in hybrid will go on sale in the U.S. in early 2012, and unlike the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf, the Prius plug-in will likely have a price tag that’s below $30,000. The Prius plug-in is expected to sell for $3,000 to $5,000 more than the standard Prius, which starts at $23,520.
