All of you in the greater Reno area may already be familiar with how the Toyota Prius is growing in popularity nationwide. In particular, California drivers made it the state's most popular vehicle according to sale records from 2012. Here at Reno Toyota we are uncovering the reasons that make this model such a safe bet on the west coast and beyond.


Looking a little closer at last year's records, an astonishing 65,490 vehicles registered in California were models within the Prius category which includes the Prius c and Prius v. On a larger scale, about 25 percent of registered hybrid models in the U.S are located in California.


The major reason that Californians are drawn to such an efficient model, is because they are living in an area that has some of the highest fuel prices. With the price fluctuation that is constantly occurring, drivers are looking to the Prius to help them save some money at the pumps. Even though it isn't the only hybrid on the market, drivers are continually satisfied by the great technology and reliability that it has to offer.


Some of the most notable features include the Hybrid Synergy Drive system which allows for three different driving modes that can be applied depending on the situation, giving the vehicle maximum efficiency. Other available technology includes a solar roof, remote control air conditioning, and the Smart Key System which enables the car to be started and unlocked with the push of a button. The various Prius trim options make it possible to tailor your vehicle to meet all of your driving needs.
