This 2006 Toyota Prius Hatchback 1.5 VVTi T4 Hybrid 5dr CVT Auto is offered to you directly from Hitachi Capital Vehicle Solutions who are the original owners from new.
This car has covered 62771 miles from new. The full HPI check showed no record of any major accidents, as can be seen (for free) on the clear HPI report. This car also comes with a history, and a valid V5 document. An independent RAC Body and Mechanical inspection has been conducted, for which the full details can be accessed from the RAC report beneath the photos.
The second generation Prius, launched in 2003 became a more practical 5-door hatch rather than the old style salon. Under acceleration the Prius uses a combination of its 1.5-litre 76BHP petrol engine and a 40BHP electric motor. At cruising speed, it relies on the petrol engine alone, using excess power to recharge the battery, which is also recharged under braking. Then, at very low speeds it runs on its electric motor alone, producing zero emissions. What's different about this green machine is that there are no sacrifices, no battery taking up half the cabin or boot.
Finished in Verbier Green with cloth upholstery this Prius comes with electric windows, steering wheel rake adjustment, climate control, cruise, Radio CD player, isofix child anchor points, driver, passenger and side airbags.
This car has a full Toyota service history, last serviced on the 16/11/09 at 55896 miles. We have an MOT until January 2011 and two keys for this car.
