The 2009 Toyota Prius marked the closing chapter of the second-generation of Toyota’s eco-friendly icon. Available in the base, Touring, and limited-edition models, this front-wheel-drive hybrid is powered by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor with a combined output of 110 horsepower. The transmission is a continuously variable type (CVT). The Prius comes standard with Toyota's Star Safety System, which includes anti-lock brakes, stability control, and traction control. A key highlight is the optional Advanced Technology Package, offering adaptive cruise control, a pre-collision system, and a self-parking feature, which were groundbreaking at the time. The infotainment system includes a back-up camera and, in higher trims, a navigation system. The EPA rated the 2009 Prius at 48 mpg city and 45 mpg highway, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars of its era.
