The 2016 Prius has already received too much applause for its impressive fuel economy set at 52 mpg, and now it has earned itself the Top Safety Pick+ award by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The small overlap front test, which is the most difficult, was taken well by the 2016 Prius, and it managed to score the top ‘Good’ score. The high tech airbag system managed to protect the driver in the event of collision. The legs and feet also didn’t suffer much damage.
The 2016 Prius has greatly improved compared to its predecessor, which was awarded ‘Acceptable’ rating in this test. Moreover, the Prius 2016 has also been awarded with ‘Superior’ rating for optional front crash prevention system.
The 2016 Toyota Prius is available across Toyota dealerships in the UAE and starts at a base price of AED 89,900. We tested it recently, and here is our Prius test drive.
