CAR REVIEW | Let’s Go Places in the 2017 Toyota Prius Three Friday 29 September, 2017
I am excited to share about the 2017 Toyota Prius Three hybrid car. This is the 1st time I ever drove a Toyota and happy to share all the cool spec while driving this Prius around town. The 2017 Prius is hitting streets with a daring, edgy look that continues to set trends. Its sleek shape, sculpted character lines and dynamic LED lighting attract all the right attention. An inviting interior, with soft-touch materials and advanced technology, gives everyone plenty of room to stretch out and get comfy. This sporty aesthetics of hybrid is never afraid to show off its athletic side. And when the roads get twisty, the double-wishbone style multi-link rear suspension and athletic stance ensure that this hybrid is always up for some fun.

The futuristic cabin of Prius has been optimized to give everyone room to relax. The front seats are designed to provide plenty of comfort on those long drives.

OTHER FEAUTRES
SMART-FLOW CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
Not too hot, not too cold. The smartflow climate control system helps keep the cabin feeling just right. It’s an intelligent system too. When you’re driving by yourself, you can choose to heat or cool just the front passenger area, helping increase the overall efficiency of Prius.
DRIVE MODES
Prius has different modes for different types of driving. ECO Mode helps maximize fuel economy. EV Mode13 drives solely on battery power for up to one-half mile under certain conditions. And POWER Mode increases throttle response for additional get-up-and-go.
INTELLIGENT PARKING ASSIST (IPA)
When you find an open parking spot, activate available Intelligent Parking Assist to help make parking a breeze. The system will automatically control the steering and help guide you in.
LED LIGHTING
Prius features Bi-LED elements in the headlights, available integrated fog lights and accent lights, making front-end lighting that is as dramatic as it is efficient.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAMS (AHB)
Enhance visibility and help make nighttime driving safe. This system uses a camera to help detect oncoming vehicles as far away as 2000 feet and, depending on the circumstances, it can automatically switch the high beams on and off, helping make it easier for other drivers on the road.
BLIND SPOT MONITOR (BSM)
If Prius detects a vehicle in its blind spot, the available Blind Spot Monitor system alerts you through an illuminated indicator on the appropriate outside mirror.
REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT (RCTA)
When you slowly back out of a driveway or parking spot, the available Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is designed to provide an audible indicator to help warn you of approaching vehicles.
RAIN-SENSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Don’t let foul weather put a damper on your drive. The available rain-sensing variable intermittent windshield wipers on Prius automatically adjust their speed to match the amount of rain hitting the windshield and the speed of the car. Just set the wipers to “auto,” and Prius does the rest.
Driving this Toyota changed my mind on the brand. I actually want to give it more credit for being such a smart car and having amazing gas efficiency as well. Filled up this car and with a week of driving it around town a lot, it was only at a quarter take. With perks like that and the other smart features, definitely would drive around town in a Toyota again.
I really like the Prius. I hear nothing but great things about it and this looks and sounds like a really great car! Looks so stylish too!

This car looks amazing! We are in the market for a second car, and will have to check this out!

This Prius is fancy with all the bells and whistles!! This really makes me want to consider Toyota again!

Fun review!!! I love trying new things and cars are right up there on the list.
It is such a beautiful car! I’m not sure if beautiful is the word, but it SO IS!! I remember when I used to play with little cars, I had one with this colour, it was my favourite. This one is becoming a favourite too! Plus, there’s so much cargo space! Great choice! 🙂
I love that it has a blind spot monitor. My car has one and it is really helpful.
I had no idea the Toyota Prius had so many features. This is a really cool car. Glad you shared it with us!
Toyota is such a good brand, my family has owned two! Love the design and features this Prius offers.
This is a really cute car! I have heard great things about the Prius. I must admit I am LOVING the inside of the car!
Very nice. I’m driving around in the Kia Optima right now and it’s the same color. I’ve noticed that people really notice it. I haven’t tried the Toyota yet, but I just may take one for a spin too.
This looks like a nice ride! I love the futuristic design on the inside. Very classy! I also love cars that have different drive modes. I might have to give this one a test drive.
Great review! We’re a fan of Toyota brand. They made such great cars. We haven’t actually think of a hybrid car but this is a good read.
I’ve been curious about the Prius for a while now. That interior is really nice! It has some great features I like the idea of windshield wipers that sense the rain lol super cool!
My cousin got a Prius as her first car and it’s been such a great investment. I loved your review.. I feel like o was able to test drive one myself!
First of all I love the color and wow… it seems to have all the great options and add on’s, everything I could want or need for road tripping.
The shape reminds me of the Celica from the 80’s! I kinda like it. Much larger than I expect for a Prius.
I love a Toyota Prius. They’re so smooth and I like their compact size too.
This car is absolutely gorgeous! I love the style and other features! Really amazing!
I am a sucker for cool technology and car interiors. All the extra gadgets sell me. I love the fact that this car had the blind spot alert and helps you park. Lord knows I need that. LOL!!
This is a great review. It is very detail and helpful. I would definitely recommend this car to my friend who is looking for a new car. Thanks for sharing.
I love driving a Toyota car. This one looks so good. The features are amazing too. Can’t wait to test drive it.
I think my next car might just be a hybrid. I love how far they have come and saving on gas is perfect.
The Prius is the perfect vehicle for folks who are cost conscious in the long run. You don’t see the immediate benefits of saving on fuel, but it well worth the investment.
I love the look of this car! I’ve got young kids so those white seats in the back would not look clean for long!
I love that car. I love the color too. It is gorgeous! I’m so close to having mine paid off.
Toyotas are so reliable. The Prus is such a sweet little car.
Ooo this is such an amazing looking car. I love hybrids. I might have to get this the next time I need a new vehicle.
It really seems futuristic doesn’t it? Way cooler then the ones I have driven in my life!
Boy they’ve changed this car so much I didn’t even recognize it. I like the 2-toned console.
I drove my cousins hybrid car for the first time over the weekend. I’m still confused about what hybrid is? Does it run of gas or something else?
This sounds like my kind of car! Such a gorgeous and sleek vehicle.
That’s a sleek looking car! Love that color too. Huge fan of Toyota here – find them to be a super reliable brand!
Toyota is really progressing in their development! It is a great brand!
The prius is going to be my next car. I love them. And in LA traffic, it’ll save me gas.
This model is much cuter than the previous models! This is good because they are making electric cars more and more attractive. Toyota has to complete aesthetically.
I am not into car…at all! AllI want is a hippie campervan! But I must say this Toyota Prius really sound like an awesome car! I am sure a lot of people will love this car!
I’m a domestic-made vehicle kind of gal, but this Toyota looks so nice. All the bells and whistles, too!
I have not driven a Toyota either. I like the hybrid concept but have not tried it out. I would need a trial period before making a purchase to get used to the drive mode options. They make me nervous. I do have my eye on a bigger size Toyota though!
The Intelligent Parking Assistant and the Rear Cross Traffic Alert are the features that really caught my attention. This Prius is such a great-looking vehicle!
Everyone that I know that has a Prius loves it! The bells and whistles are impressive.
Holy crap, I’ve seen the exterior but never the interior. This car looks great and sounds like a great bargain for the price.
Those are really innovative features! I wouldn’t have s considered a Prius before but now I am.
My cousin has a Prius and she loves it. I have road in it and it is amazing. A great car with a lot of amazing features.
This is such a beauty ❤️ . I totally loved the way you described everything in detail and the color is so freshh
I don’t drive (yet) but I have heard great things about this kind of car and its environmental benefits compared to others. Definitely an option to consider. Thank you for reviewing!
The rain sensing option is fantastic. And bluetooth wireless, plus all the gadgets and cool options for this car – looks like a great buy!
The Toyota Prius does look pretty cool. I love the color of the one you have here. I have a 2007 one and I really like it. I am sure they have upgraded so many different things on them. I would love to check at 2017 out.
What a lovely car with beautiful interiors too, I love the specifications of the car and all the extras you can add to customise it.
Toyota Prius now on wishlist.That dashboard is so cool .Loved the review
Seems like a great car as you have mentioned… I don’t drive but this might be a lovely post for my hubby to read 🙂
This is such a beautiful car! I’m currently car shopping honestly and never would’ve thought about a Prius until this post. Now you got me thinking !..,
This is such a detailed car review! After reading your post, now I’m thinking of doing a test drive as it just sounds amazing!
I have always owned a Toyota until now, but I had a good 8 years with their cars. I love the concept of the prius and the features. I need my SUV for all the hauling I do, but if I didn’t need my car for business, this would be my go to.
Toyota is definitely a great brand. They are known for sturdy, dependable cars. I enjoyed reading your review of the Prius. Great post!
I don’t know where I would go on a road trip there are so many options! and nice ride
I am totally amazed right now with all the super cool features of Prius!! Wish this would have launched here soon but I recently got my hand on EcoSport.
