Toyota Prius
What started off as an experiment on hybrid technology back in the late 1990s has become a global icon with millions of units sold. The fifth-generation Prius introduced last year stands out with sports car-like styling, a more modern interior and extra punch under the hood. The hybrid system combines a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for a total of 196 horsepower and average fuel consumption of 4.8 L/100 km. All-wheel drive comes standard.
