Delivering 60 miles per gallon in city driving, what market-defining car was the 2004 Car of the Year?
Answer Toyota Prius
The Prius was the first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. The car that started the hybrid revolution combined a 70-horsepower gas engine and a 44-horsepower electric drive motor. The original Prius used a second electric motor to start the gas engine and generate electricity for the drive motor and to recharge the NiMH battery pack.
